I'm immediately in love with the art here, that '80s (I know it's '79 but close enough) black and white British comic aesthetic is great, and it's put to incredible use here depicting the robots and future tech of this parallel Rome.
The Iron Legion leap out of the page from panel one, giving an incredible Judge Dredd/Warhammer 40K vibe, and I loved the art for every single panel. Specific kudos to the horrifying image of Tom Baker from the final part.
Unfortunately though, despite absolutely adoring the art, I found the story itself a little lacking. The cliffhangers every four pages weren't the worst most of the time, though there were a few times where it felt just very jarring. The plot itself also felt a little lacking, almost emulating the classic-who runaround, jumping from one location to the next in this parallel world, but you don't really get the chance to rest and take in any of the locations which is a real shame.
The ending also fell a little flat for me, I mean they did basically have only three pages to do it, and I think they did well with what they had, but that doesn't stop it from being a shame.
