The latest issue of the new British anthology comic Shift is now out. A little later than expected but given the difficulties of publishing not just a new comic but to launch it during the middle of a pandemic the publishers are to be congratulated on reaching their third issue.
Currently Shift is on a 5 week or so cycle though #4 isn't due until April it's worth persevering with especially as there are a 100 pages of high quality content to read. This month there is no "one-off" story which is a shame but the extra space is devoted to the regular features of which there are six.
I'm not going to go through the material except to say each story is developing well. Only one hasn't really caught my personal interest (and no I'm not going to name it) but the others make the price of entry certainly more than worth while.
This month there are a couple of features, the first being about Dragon Claws about which I know nothing and have never seen or read and the other is a run down of the vibrant independent British comics scene that I've got into recently. Not everything will appeal as these comics cater for a wide variety of differing tastes which is as it should be.
Shift is available from major newsagents or on-line from: theshift.store
(The first two issues are still available to purchase which is advisable if you haven't picked up this comic yet.There is also a prequel comic to my favourite feature "To The Death".)
Rating 5 Stars (Highly Recommended)
