Sci-Fi & Fantasy with Mat Coward: February 1, 2022
New titles from Dan Abnett & INJ Culbard, JT Nicholas, WM Cleese and Ally Wilkes

BRINK volume 4 by Dan Abnett and INJ Culbard, (Rebellion, £12.99), continues one of the most interesting and thoroughly imagined science fiction comics of recent years.

Originally a strip in the weekly 2000 AD, it takes place in a near future where environmental degradation has forced the human race to evacuate to giant space stations. They’ve taken corporate rule along with them, so the rich are still rich and the rest live in cramped near-poverty, plagued by crime, narcotics and apocalyptic religious cults.

Through a plot that blends horror, cop story and mystery, Abnett’s script and Culbard’s art work together with a rare harmony to create an exciting and convincing portrait of a future.
