Hadrian’s Wall #1

Liz says: ‘Neo noir, set in space’ doesn’t sound like a concept that’s going to gel, and yet it plays out flawlessly throughout the pages ‘Hadrian’s Wall issue #1. You’ve got your jilted, downward-spiraling private investigator, who’s called in to probe the suspicious death of the man who shot him and ran off with his wife. You’ve got your femme fatale in the form of his beautiful, resentful ex-wife, who’s as likely a suspect as any. And you’ve got the mystery itself, the death of an astronaut alone in the void of space. It’s a classic setup with a futuristic twist.

The first issue of Hadrian’s Wall didn’t actually come out this week (a few weeks ago actually) but we did have writer Kyle Higgins as a guest this week and I managed to get my first look at a copy of this sold-out first issue. If you love a good detective story, make sure to grab yourself a copy of the second printing when it hits the shelf!
