BRIT TPB Vol. 1 and #1-3

Robert Kirkman continues to expand upon his Kirkmanverse with the addition of the monthly "BRIT". Brit is a very old, invulnerable government operative. The TPB collects three one-shots and presents them for the first time in color. I enjoyed the TPB as Kirkman pulls out the stops and just has fun riffing with the character. It took a while for Kirkman to put together the monthly with all of his time spent on writing three Image monthlies and quite a few other books over at Marvel. Instead of writing this one Kirkman steps up as editor and has handed the writing chores over to Bruce Brown. Brown does a fine job of developing Brit's extended family in the first three issues and does some unusual things with the character. I like the interactions between Don and Brit's sister and the action is non-stop. Cliff Rathburn the cover colorist and gray tone artist of "The Walking Dead", provides very nice art here. He captures the action nicely.

"BRIT" is a fine addition to the Kirkmanverse and my pull list. I just hope that Kirkman can keep the output level up with now four Image monthlies coming from him.
