With the release of the third issue of Howard Hardiman’s latest work, The Lengths, I thought maybe I’d tell you all about it, let you know how good it is, so that you would all go and get it.

And let’s be clear; I am going to be telling you how good it is and insist that you get your copies ASAP.

The Lengths tells the story of Eddie, a young, art school drop out living in London, and his relationships.

I have to start this review with a disclaimer; I consider the writer of Sugar Glider, Daniel Clifford to be a good friend of mine. I occasionally offer him some bad advice and lackluster support, which is why he felt it necessary to give me a mention in the special thanks section at the front of the second issue of Sugar Glider. This will in no way affect the way I write my review, you can try to bribe me with your 'special thanks' Clifford but we both know this book is all you and artist Gary Bainbridge and I'll judge it as so ;-)

Sugar Glider #2 starts with our hero, Susie Sullivan, still reeling from her first foray into super-heroics, battered and bruised with her family now aware of and condemning her desire to become Newcastle's finest vigilante.

So, does this mean this next installment should be 'Return of the Jedi'? I can't even decide whether that would be a good thing or not?
