Skull-cracking. Finally, after several decades of the norm, a wildly bold new voice in fiction. I wish Steve Aylett would do some mainstream comic book work, that stale horse is starting to stink up the joint with its aggressive scorn for blazing new trails or original concepts.

This was a tremendous final chapter in the Beerlight saga. Profound, infinitely quotable, Aylett at his best.
