Feeling like an 8 might be a little high bit, it was very entertaining. It had good action, somw good moments. Please keep Shift.

It's another fairly speedy installment. The plot remains rational and the character voices are still excellent. The art is, on balance, good, though the shift between artists is a little jarring. As a crusty ol' geezer, I don't see much novel or ground-breaking in this particular rendition of "visit a dystopian future-AU and help overthrow the evil dictator". But I didn't see anything about this plot that was particularly problematic, either; it's a perfectly valid skeleton to build an adventure on.
