STAFF REVIEW: FROM ABOVEFrom the creative mind of local Melbourne writ-er and illustrator, Craig Bruyn, this comic series is a great new find. Set in a futuristic Melbourne where the corporations rule the streets and super-powered beings, ‘Alphas,’ work outside the law to protect citizens from city’s corruption. Gabe, an Alpha, roams the city on a mission to keep the peace, but when a regular assignment goes awry, he finds himself drawn into a much bigger conspiracy. This self-published comic is action packed, lots of fun and full of heart. Well worth a look. Rebecca.
