[Andrew · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is currently the last of the Mek files which contains the first 2 parts of the Volgan wars - I will aadmit that there are many more installements to this particular part of the ABC Warriors history however in this format at least it is the last.

I have incredibly fond memories of the ABC Warriors from my days at university where a friend religeously collected the 2000AD comics they were serialised in - years later I was able to read their adventures in the graphic novels made up of these installments. Sadly many of them have fallen out of print or are no longer available in their original format.

Their adventures to me summed up the 90s for me where I was learning so much more about what there was to read and explore from comics to manga to all the subgenres out there these were heady times and these stories epitomised them

Clever amalgam of photo and computer artwork, but it doesn't feel like that for once.
