REVIEW:
A first time outing for a specialist magazine in the wonderful E World of Steampunk, and let me just say that whilst a little sceptical about the whole thing, found it to be a lot of fun wrapped up in one pretty solid volume. Within this cracking title are a whole host of stories for the Victoriana Steam fan, a couple of articles (one on Doggles and the other on Steampunk clothing) which when added to some fun art all round made this a solid first outing for hopefully many future issues.
Add to this a reasonable price for a lot of material and all round I was a pretty happy reader. On a personal level I did think one of the stories within was weaker than the rest however, for a first issue, it comes out packing one hell of a punch. Great stuff.
