MIK SABIERS savours the first headline solo show of the stalwart of Brighton’s indie-punk outfit Blood Red Shoes

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.

Edinburgh can take great pride in an episode of its history where a murderous captain of the city guard was brought to justice by a righteous crowd — and nobody snitched to Westminster in the aftermath, writes MAT COWARD
