I’ve finally got to read a copy of #1 of Paul Cornell’s Pete Wisdom comic. Paul’s obviously been having a lot of fun here, and there’s a very strong British feel to the story. It is always a pleasure to see that sort of thing done right, rather than be done by a American writer who has never actually been to the UK. I’m also impressed with much of Trevor Hairsine’s artwork.

I also note that Paul appears to be aiming for some sort of story resolution per issue. I’ve commented before that I worry about the 6-issue mini-series format. Albion felt like it could have done with several more issues, and Neil told me yesterday that Eternals is actually going to be 7 issues. Of course Neil can get away with doing that. Marvel might be less impressed with a (comics) newbie like Paul saying he needed an extra issue to finish the story properly, so I think his strategy is a good one.

Anyway, Wisdom #1 is now out there, and I’m looking forward to #2.

Bloody fairies.
