Grade: 8

Giants have invaded airports, mythological creatures have captured the Globe Theater and generally things are amuk in London.

Our band of heroes is making their way to London to save the day: Metal Rocker Dizzy Claiborne, writer Neil Everyman and former actor Sir Patrick Tottingham. Sir Patrick and his friend Emerald are riding their way to London on the backs of Centaurs. Dizzy, his manager, Neil and his friend LaVerne are on a flight from NY to Cardiff.

As in the previous issues, there is much hilarity. The characters continue to be entertaining and the crayon/chalk like artwork continues to be a delight to the eyes and very appropriate to the humor of the series. Only two things I problems with is Dizzy's speech balloons, which is rendered almost incomprehensible in the attempt to convey his accent. The other is the general horror of the passengers to learning they will be flying into Cardiff. I get the general joke, but it would probably be a good deal funnier to the British.

A solid series so far, even if the roller coaster action has slowed somewhat.
