“This second issue is as packed as the first, perhaps more so. The world expands and the plot gets thicker. There’s some real twists and turns and a cliffhanger ending. Really it’s a very solid second issue all around. It’s what you want from a second issue. I enjoyed it possibly more than the first issue.”
If you want to read a fun alien take on fantasy with well drawn characters and some intriguing plot then this is the book for you. The setting is interesting and the world building solid. It’s throwing around details that draw you in. For me this was a really good first issue and this is another world I want to see more of. The Last Barbarians is a great first issue.
“…an exciting ride with a lot of action, tension and of course a touch of humour.”
“When my only complaint is that I want more of this right now, then you know it’s a good issue and boy is this a good issue.”
“Overall this issue is a great way of concluding the Sasquatch mystery whilst setting up some more possibilities. I’ve really enjoyed exploring his new and different part of KRP 1302-A.”
“With touches of humour, genuine peril and important plot I’m enjoying Hellcop more than ever.”
This week Angela and Zach are teaming up to discuss Hellcop!
“This is a really strong start to the second arc. Now the setup has been established it feels like more fun can be had in the universe and this certainly takes some classic concepts like Sasquatch and runs with it. It’s still got a fresh feel but it also has the benefit of strongly established characters and a distinct voice and tone which really works. I’m very much onboard for the next part of the Hellcop ride.”
This week Angela and Zach are teaming up to discuss one of Angela’s favourite books from the past year: Jules Verne’s Lighthouse!
“This was a strong finish to the first arc. Not only is it a good conclusion it’s set things up well for the future too.”
“Overall with tension, character revelations, plot advancement plus a three headed dog this is a very satisfying read.”
“This issue really does dig deeper into the mystery and characters and expands on both really well. Plus literal flying pigs. What’s not to like? “
“Overall Hellcop is the sci-fi, fantasy, steampunk detective mashup you should be reading.”
“For me Hellcop is a heady mix of sci-fi fantasy concepts wrapped up with criminal mysteries. It takes us beyond simple cops into a world full of demons, steampunk-style technology and multiple dimensions. With humour and action I very much enjoyed the ride.”
“This ending not only sticks the landing but does so in a way that left me speechless in all the best ways.”
“I can’t really say much more other than it’s excellent.”
