Asylum Reviewed by Alasdair Stuart

ASYLUM Written by Rob Williams, Illustrated by Boo Cook

Published by Rebellion

RRP: £11.99

Rob Williams, in his startlingly self-deprecating introduction, spends a great deal of time apologising for the rough edges on Asylum, his first work for 2000AD. Best known for his work on the excellent political superhero comic CLA$$WAR, Williams’ script here has all the anger and energy of that series but stretched over a longer, more assured script.

Over three centuries from now, alien immigration is common place. Thousands of aliens from hundreds of species come to Earth in search of a better life, and find themselves contained, at least temporarily, on a holding station in Earth orbit (Drawn by Cook as a colossal, inverted church tethered to the planet). From there, they go to an island on Earth and are gradually integrated into society. The few that escape are tracked down by hybrid agents, including Marshall Holt. Holt’s a nice guy, likes his job and accepts it for what it is until something awful happens to his partner. As Holt investigates, he uncovers not only stories of vivisection and horror at the alien compound, but the dark secrets his own organisation has been keeping.
