This Hadrian’s Wall #2 exclusive intensifies a murder case in space
An astronaut is dead, and everyone on the Hadrian’s Wall spaceship is a suspect. That death is the inciting incident of the new Image Comics miniseries Hadrian’s Wall, reuniting the C.O.W.L. team of writers Kyle Higgins and Alec Siegel with artist Rod Reis for a murder mystery with a heavy sci-fi influence. The first issue debuted earlier this week, and it’s a compelling introduction to this cast and the futuristic world of this series, both realized in rich detail by Reis. Detective Simon Moore probably shouldn’t be the person investigating the case given that the murder victim shot him and stole his ex-wife years ago, but his personal relationship to the deceased is a major source of drama and tension in the story, particularly when Simon’s ex-wife is around.
