Alex Automatic (Cabal Comics Group)
Like an amnesiac Inspector Gadget battling a James Bond villain’s henchman, but drawn by Jack Kirby, Fraser Campbell’s Alex Automatic takes those classic spy-fi conventions of the 1960s and mixes in a generous dose of paranoia and PTSD to make a truly unique creation. but will his amnesiac agent be another Winter Soldier wannabe or a hero in his own right?

Alex Anderson is not only a kick ass government agent, but also believes he is the star of his own 60s TV show. So when he is rescued from a lab by a pair of friendly journalists who are looking to reveal his secret and also help Anderson return to normal, you know that his government handlers won’t allow this to happen!
It’s a fantastic premise for a story and allows Campbell to mix reality and fantasy into an intriguing cocktail. The opening action sequence is told completely straight, until you notice that the dialogue contains script instructions and scenery information that give away the fact this is all a fantasy inside Alex’s head. As the idea expands out, we eventually see the mission in his head played out in tandem with the bloody real world results of his actions, which makes for a really interesting, if slightly confusing read. Making a disjointed story like this is not easy, and thanks to little touches like the script reference or Colin Bell’s mixed style of lettering, it helps create a decent balance between the two worlds.
Campbell makes the most of an extended 40 page issue to pack plenty in, however it may have benefited from having even more time and space to get across the true essence of the story, especially with some of the more subtle elements of what is real and what is delusion. Fortunately, the story is left open-ended and so we can but hope that we will see more very soon!
What also helps to make the story truly stand out from the crowd is the artwork from relative newcomer James Corcoran. His Kirby-infused Silver Age style, matches the genre perfectly and every page has a great sense of action and dynamism to it, thanks to some clean and stylish lines. It’s not perfect, with some compositions a bit ropey at times and some of the faces not quite looking right, but when you’re being compared to the Master, then you are following in some epic footsteps! Although it may lack some of Kirby’s crispness, it does have a lot of his vibrancy and pace, and there are some truly stunning compositions – such as the scene where Alex is sent plummeting to the bottom of the ocean to encounter the irradiated C-Men, which would make Neal Adams sick with envy! He also does a fantastic job with the character designs, mixing the throwback tech of Alex (especially the robot face removals) with the gritty real world of his rescuers.
Corcoran is also aided by some exceptional colouring from David B Cooper, who’s mix of digital slickness and muddy vintage colours (lots of greens and brown and oranges) make the whole thing feel like you have picked it from a dusty old book shelf or a forgotten bargain bin and you can almost feel and smell the newsprint on every page!
Ever since we first heard about Alex Automatic, we thought it was a superb idea and we are delighted to discover that Campbell’s strong premise carries through into the final pages. Take our word for it, there’s no delusions here – Alex Automatic is a prime time hit!

Mr Costello said the Queensland government “should be ruling out up-front, clearly” the prospect of Chow Tai
Fook lifting its stake in the Brisbane casino. Another
source said Star’s minimum fee was $40 million a year
for 50 years, a “staggering amount of money for a second-tier city like Brisbane”
but based on the idea the casino would lure wealthy Chinese gamblers.
Star has been seeking a financial lifeline in recent months, after revealing its cash reserves sank
to just $79 million at the end of 2024. Industry sources familiar with the talks told the ABC a
sticking point was the fee that casino owners had to pay Star
for running Queen’s Wharf.
New videos are added weekly to the service. There’s a lot of
great kids’ programming too, plus a deep selection of foreign content from across
Asia, Europe, and Latin America. All you have to do is download the
app and get streaming. Tubi lets you stream thousands of popular movies and TV series for free.
You have to do a little extra work compared to Tubi, but that’s something people really
appreciate.
The company said it had received “several confidential, indicative and non-binding proposals”
from Hong Kong investors Chow Tai Fook Enterprises and Far East Consortium International
Limited to buy its 50 per cent stake in Queen’s Wharf.
“All the flags are there it is a very substantial increase in credit risk exposure to a junket to which Star has historically not dealt with much.” The afternoon court proceedings
were dominated by Dr Higgins explaining to the court documents existed warning Star’s executives and directors of the
risks of dealing with particular junket operators.
Mr Theodore, Star’s former chief financial officer,
has agreed to settle with ASIC and will have his penalty decided at a hearing by another
judge. The corporate regulator has claimed Star’s leadership failed to address money laundering risks
and criminal associations at its casinos
between 2017 and 2019.
