CBR Review: Captain Swing and the Electrical Pirates of Cindery Island #1

I recently reviewed Captain Swing and the Electrical Pirates of Cindery Island #1 for CBR and, in the process, wrote the following sentences: "Captain Swing and the Electrical Pirates of Cindery Island #1 is a case of style beating out substance. The amount of plot in this first issue is the equivalent of the first ten minutes of a movie, but Warren Ellis and Raulo Caceres deliver that small amount of plot with a strong, interesting style. Throughout this first issue are text pages that provide context and background for the series, including the history of police forces in England in the early 19th century where the story takes place."
