Searching for a long lost friend, Rachel and Rory have arrived at a hospital. Of course, in the post-Cthulhu apocalypse of Abyssal Albion, their search isn’t going to be an easy one. But what exactly is roaming the wards, and why does it look like someone very familiar to our sibling duo?

I’ve been with Abyssal Albion from the beginning, and I’ve always found it to be a superb read, with writer Thomas J. Campbell knowing exactly when and where to ratchet up the tension, as well as expertly dropping hints to the situation which has befallen the siblings; not to mention the apocalypse itself, in a wider context.

Though we have always spent our time zoomed into the brother and sister’s fight for survival in this horrific new world, we’ve also had quite a few breadcrumbs of information on the bigger picture tantalisingly doled out too.

As always, Wayne Lowden’s art is a great fit for Campbell’s script, with a nicely stylised approach bringing our likeable protagonists, and the horrors they encounter, to life brilliantly. Trilby Black’s selective colouring on the cover (also Ben Hamill’s art and colours on the prints you can see above) is really well done too.

So where next for Abyssal Albion? Though a cheekily hidden ‘The End’ sign can be spotted in the final panel, there’s clearly more for us to discover, and perhaps much more to the world than we’ve seen so far; though I know a fifth issue isn’t imminent, I’m definitely looking forward to its arrival. Ia!
