My first introduction to Brit came in the pages of Invincible, where he appears in the aftermath of an extremely bloody battle between a Serpent Society ripoff and a few of the weaker members of the Guardians of the Globe. Brit bursts in, sees the bodies piled everywhere and says something like - 'wow, they made a real mess' - which I thought was funny. So I read the trade.

Some graphic novels explore deep issues, others redefine characters or the way comic books are written for ever more, but sometimes (to paraphrase Freud) a comic is just a comic. BRIT falls into the latter category and wonderfully so. The art is bold and vivid, the fight scenes panoramic, the plotlines frequently bizarre and there are explosions. Lots and lots of explosions.
Really enjoyable, action-packed superhero/spy stuff. Right in Kirkman's wheelhouse. More broadly drawn characters than in similar books like Invincible, but still good.
Ridiculous, over-the-top and lighthearted. For fans of giant monsters and giant explosions.
i prefer the Invincible line, but at least Brit is set in the same universe.
Not as good as Kirkman's other works, but still good enough to get 3 stars. See my review here: http://trebro.livejournal.com/285760.htm...
