Review: Speed Republic #2
“Overall this is a solid second issue, nicely diving in deeper into the world and the central character, which is always a good thing and what a strong second issue should do.”

“Overall this is a first issue that sets up the world building nicely, a straightforward concept but solidly introduced.”
“Becstar is without contest the most fun science fiction comic I’ve read this year.”
“In every moment it’s a fun ride to be along for.”
“Becstar #3 doesn’t miss a beat, this issue is a fun science fiction adventure that does a great job of filling in some character backstories, while continuing to move forward and introducing an interesting cliffhanger for the next instalment.”
“I’d be keen to see some of these characters again so I hope there are more stories in the pipeline.”
“Becstar has been a legitimate surprise, I wasn’t sure what to expect from the series but what I’ve got is a fun spacefaring adventure that feels like it owes as much to Indiana Jones as it does to Star Wars.”
“After a slow but steady start, They Fell From The Sky picks up. The script is nicely written and feels age-appropriate for the characters, bringing in bigger themes without dwelling on them more than you likely would at 12. The art is consistent and has enough detail without ever becoming fussy, and combined with the colour palette gives two clear vibes: an Archie comics Americana for most scenes and a “this is sci-fi stuff” when they’re showing space critter tech.”
“Nottingham is yet another take on the Robin Hood story. Having been brought up in the shadow of Sherwood Forest I’ve heard a few versions in my time, so I’m pretty familiar with the source material.”
