A little less strong than the first Global Frequency collection (I'd give this three-and-a-half if I could - some of these feel like retreads of ideas from the first volume, and the writing can be even more obnoxious), but still exciting and fun. The big standouts for me are the two untitled issues in the middle. ( )

Didn't care for the art in the first story, by Simon Bisley. But the rest of the art was great, with interesting short storylines, as in the first volume. ( )

Detonation Radio takes a slightly different approach. Firstly, Miranda Zero is kidnapped, and Aleph and others must organise an operation to get her back.

Then, Global Frequency operations is penetrated, and Aleph herself must perform some fieldwork to get out of the situation, with some advice fromt he outside.

I’d call this the quintessential Warren Ellis series, blending his approaches to storytelling, dialogue, characters, technology, style, suspense, and the need for hard decisions and sacrifice.
