REVIEW SCORE 6
Han Hale continues his "Sun and Steel" adventure with a 21-page story that just about kills my interest in this book. But at least this issue has 48 pages (plus covers) to make up for it!

Ron Harris follows Hale's saga with "Hameka," a fairly interesting tale about a vampire woman. Three more stories follow with varying degrees of success; the best of the rest is probably "Fast 'n' uff" by John Williams (nicely illustrated). Well, there's also a lovely Richard Corben illustration that would make for a fine poster...overall, this issue is a vast improvement from the first, but that ain't saying much.
