the state of Victoria. Globalisation

private corporations rise to rule &
police their own sectors.
From Above Issue #2
Craig Bruyn
$7.00

Issue #1, A tale about the collapse of Government, the rise of
corporate power and the dwindling
value of traditional morality in a
futuristic Melbourne city.
STAFF REVIEW: FROM ABOVE
From the creative mind of local Melbourne writer and illustrator, Craig Bruyn, this comic series
is a great new find. Set in a futuristic Melbourne
where the corporations rule the streets and
super-powered beings, ‘Alphas,’ work outside
the law to protect citizens from city’s corruption.
Gabe, an Alpha, roams the city on a mission to
keep the peace, but when a regular assignment
goes awry, he finds himself drawn into a much
bigger conspiracy. This self-published comic is
action packed, lots of fun and full of heart. Well
worth a look. Rebecca.
