The Indifference Engine #1-4 (of 4) (2010-2011)

reunites the team of Dethan, Cook and Wilkinson, joined this time around by penciller Rob Carey on his first full-length graphic novel. Publisher Harry Markos, speaking about the launch on the PSN forum, said: “You’re going to be freaked out. I warned you, a while ago, that The Indifference Engine would blow your minds...” Certainly this 4-issue graphic novel, published online as a digital comic mini-series, packs a lot of punches. Cy Dethan's script is tight, seamless, and progressive with no decompression as is common among comics mini-series nowadays, and that says a lot about the creative process that went into it. Carey's art, too, is excellent--never drawing too much attention to itself but instead pulls the reader deeper into the story--with granularity, starkness and tension in all the right places. Markosia should be proud to showcase such British talent, showing that great things are ahead. This is also a coup for the PSP Comics network and what mobile comics are all about. Highly recommended. 12+

Responding to a strangely specific job advertisement, Alan Blake, a distinctly ordinary twenty-something suburban slacker finds himself in the middle of an inter-dimensional task force staffed entirely by superhuman alternate versions of himself. Struggling to fit in, he uncovers a conspiracy that strikes at the very heart of the organisation...a conspiracy that only he can stop. --
