CBR Review: Captain Swing and the Electrical Pirates of Cindery Island #2

I recently reviewed Captain Swing and the Electrical Pirates of Cindery Island #2 for CBR and, in the process, wrote the following sentences: "After last issue set up the conflict between rival police forces in 19th century England, Warren Ellis uses this issue to introduce readers to the eponymous Captain Swing and his mission to provide science and free energy for all. It’s a rambling dialogue-based issue where Ellis shows off his ability to drive stories forward through a singular protagonist speaking. He covers similar thematic ground to his other works, but approaches it from a different perspective and also has Raulo Caceres’s intricately detailed art to bring this odd alternate history England to life."
