About the author

Simon Oliver was hatched in South London in 1969. Since that date he has consistently strived for mediocrity in a number of fields of employment, from cooking at the legendary Hacienda Club of Manchester in the late 1980's, scuba diving instructor in the planet's more tropical climes, to a career as a camera assistant in Hollywood. With such a spotty and heterogeneous employment record is seemed only fitting that the comic book would industry welcome him with open arms in 2005 for his writing debut in THE EXTERMINATORS.

[Letande D'Argon · Rating 5 out of 5]

For some reason, this issue made me think about those Broken Sword games that used to be popular in 90s. And even though it feels more like Broken Sword than Hellblazer this time, I still liked it. The whole Paris arc sure has a certain charm in it. Also, another artwork change. This time we've got Davide Fabbri on pencils, Carrie Strachan on colors and José Marzan, Jr. with Karl Kesel on inks. Artwork in this issue doesn't look as unique as in two previous issues, but it's probably the best mainstream artwork we had so far.
