'Brink Book Four' by Dan Abnett with art by INJ Culbard is a graphic novel in space with a mystery at it's core.

Bridget Kurtis is a cop with an attitude living on a Habitat. When a gruesome mass murder happens, the clues point to a video file that is deadly and the man responsible for the death of Bridget's father.

Although I hadn't read the first 3 volumes, I was able to become immersed in this world pretty easily. I liked this gritty police procedural and the art was great too!

I received a review copy of this graphic novel from Rebellion, 2000 AD, and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.

The Earth is dead, and humanity has moved into deep-space habitats in Brink Book Four.

Bridget Kurtis and Gita Gibrani were habitat police officers working on the mysterious disappearance of Mercury. Soon, the feds stepped in. Both women were promoted and sent to separate habitats. However, they continue the investigation on their own time.

Meanwhile, Bridget is investigating a mass murder on her habitat that may or may not be related to the outlawed world porn along with a rookie cop. World porn is black-market nature shows from before the Earth’s death.

The plot is interesting. I wanted more investigation of the Mercury case. However, the local case is wrapped up in this volume. The art is bright primary colors. The characters are easily distinguishable from each other. Overall, Brink Book Four receives 3 stars from me.

Thanks to 2000 AD, Rebellion, and NetGalley for a copy in exchange for my honest review.

Dan Abnett's latest work 'Brink' is set in the late 21st Century when the when the human species has left earth and found their home in deep space stations. But here the situation is getting worse day by day. Things gets even more messy when HSD cop Bridget Kurtis discovered a viral video clip that attacks the human brain. Now she is on her mission to stop it.

Will she be able to stop the spread of the video and protect the mankind. To get the answers you have to go through the brilliant work.

The first thing that I loved is the simple but engaging storyline. Dan Abnett's writing will keep you at the edge of your seat till the last page. I.N.J Culbard has done an equally great job in bringing the story to life. Overall, it was a great experience. I highly recommend it.

Happy Reading

In the world of The Brink, it never takes much for chaos to overflow and for humanity to be quickly topple over into annihilation. There is some great evil which lurks in a smuggled video clip which seems to be driving people insane. With some major Event Horizon vibes, Dan Abnett's fourth installment of The Brink picks up the story and retains the dark, ominous atmosphere of its predecessors.

My biggest gripe with this book is that it does so little to push the overarching story forward. With a collection of throwaway characters and a little development of themes or ideas, it feels like treading water. The character of Bridget Kurtis is intimidating and forthright, as always, but she does her stuff and that's pretty much it. A criminal overlord (whose name I can't even remember, such was the impact that he made) looms over her on the front cover and yet he's inconsequential to the plot; he only appears in two scenes. His positioning on the cover art is misleading, making him seem like he is in some way controlling or influencing Kurtis, where there is virtually no relationship between them.

I was haunted by the story, particularly towards its climax, but it just feels like one brief chapter in a story that I wished would get moving. It's on the brink of something brilliant.

Brink is the story of a community surviving in a bleak late 21st century world rendered almost uninhabitable by the consequences of ecological disaster. Another classic graphic novel from the 2000AD stable which brought us the likes of Button Man, The ABC Warriors, Slaine, Robohunter, Nemesis the Warlock and Judge Dredd.
