Now that the last issue is out I’m looking forward to finally reading this mini series, and all in one go :)

I think this was the most enjoyable Britannia series to date. Milligan ties up the loose ends nicely and ably supported by the much improved Gill on art.

Britannia still feels disconnected to the Valiant universe and I’m wondering does Valiant have plans rectify this in any way? :hm:

Good read - 4/5 for the issue and the series :thumb:

I'm in agreement, I think I enjoyed this arc the most. Probably because there was less super-natural stuff. It seems more fitting for a book about a man whose character is based on reason and deduction.

The other arcs made a good go of it, but there were unexplained magical happenings, like the use of the voodoo dolls in the last one. I don't mind the super-natural stuff but in a book of this sort, it needs to be rationally explained by the end of the arc.
