PROMO: Raymond Delgado isn't well. He's the newest inmate at the Hoxford Correctional Facility and Mental Institution. He has no hope of release, parole, rehabilitation, or decent conversation. On a good day, he'll tell you he's Zeus and only bite your arm off. Literally. On a bad day, you won't have time to scream to the prison guard for help. But Dr. Jessica Ainley, his doctor for five, years wants to help Ray and can't understand why the newly privatized, corporately-run prison won't give her access to her patients. And why are people always transferred into Hoxford, but no records show anyone ever transferring back out?


REVIEW: Ben Templesmith polako postaje jedan od omiljenijih mi savremenih strip autora, iako njegov vizuelni stil, kojeg se drži ko pijan plota, više baš i ne oduševljava kao na početku 30 Days of Night serijala, Ben uvek uspeva da servira dovoljnu dozu pomerenog i otrežnjujućeg, da ništa s njegovim potpisom nije gubljenje vremena, naprotiv - zabava nalik alkoholu, prija, ali na kraju ostavlja mučninu i glavobolju.
Ben se u Welcome to Hoxford opasno zaglibio u najcrnje ambise ljudskog uma, pišuću o gomili najumobolniji, najsurovijih zločinaca - pedofila, nekrofila, koljača, kanibala. Ti monstrumi, od kojih je i zatvorski sistem SAD-a digao ruke i poslao ih u privatnu ustanovu vođenu od strane sumnjive ruske kompanije, doživeće užase i muke jednake ili veće od onih u kojima su skončale njihove žrtve - biće živi pojedeni.

Ali, nećete ih žaliti. Ni nalik šetačima Zelenom Miljom, ovi skotovi su samo zlo, svakom sledećom stranom i u vama će zlo i želju za krvlju, osvetom i vaseljenskom pravdom buditi!

PROMO: With the Earth laid waste by an assault from microscopic nanites, humanity hides in underground cities. But those cities are being destroyed by the "Gosiodo" -machine beings engineered to convert the remnants of humanity to the will of the nanites. It's up to seven men and women, seemingly immune to the nanotechnology, to fight back... before there's nothing left to fight for.


REVIEW: Umećem vrhunskog pripovedača nas Ben Templesmoth uvodi u njegovu priču, brzo iefektno gradeći oko nas zid iluzije, uvodeći nas u svoj svet. Iako do kraja ne uspeva da zadrži stiopostotnu pažnju, propušta da razvije likove, Ben ipak donosi zadovoljavajući narativ koji bi trebao da se dopadne svim ljudima post-apokaliptične postavke.

Ono što ovde, ipak, jeste vredno vremena i novca jeste vizuelni stil stripa. Ostavši veran svom ličnom pečatu razvijenom u već više puta pominjanog "30 Days of Night", autor još jednom donosi svoje i u odnosu na ostatak industrije posebno iskustvo za oči.Lepo je čitati strip koji ne izgleda kao niz screen shotova iz nanjnovijih igara.
