violence in Britain since 2011 Tim Newburn who led the 2011 Reading the Riots study in partnership with the Guardian identifies the key differences between 2024 and 2011 and argues that the Government should call an official inquiry to understand the nature and causes of the riots rather that leave the analysis to academics and journalists riots by definition involve significant levels of criminality As a consequence they invite us to ask difficult questions not least about the motivations of those involved in the violence and destruction While we have already learned enough to offer an initial analysis of the 2024 events and how they match or differ from riots in the recent past their nature requires something more official than academic and journalistic analysis Though much of the violence has currently ceased it is not yet clear whether the riots are over who subsequently had moved to live in Southport the internet-based rumour mill contained a variety of false claims including that he was an asylum seeker/illegal migrant this led to a number of “protesters” taking to the streets in Southport focusing their attention initially on a local mosque with significant violence eventually breaking out as police who sought to keep order were attacked similarly focused violence has taken place regularly in a large number of towns in England as well as on a couple of occasions in Belfast Whereas in 2011 much of the focus of the anger on the streets was directed at the alleged misuse of police power against ethnic minorities in 2024 much appears to be directed at minorities themselves and at the police for so-called “two tier policing” The apparent target of the riots also differs markedly This is the assertion that the police deliberately favour minorities and are harsher in their treatment of protesters on the political right: an assertion for which there is no evidence and that is very much the reverse of the claims made in 2011 Riots raise important questions many that are difficult to answer and which require careful and sustained inquiry In the absence of such inquiry the danger is that we rely on speculation that we form opinion about the events based on limited information or perhaps simply our own biases and prejudices pure and simple” and that in his view was all we needed to know police leaders and other opinion formers and community members little to nothing was heard from the rioters themselves It was in the context of this refusal to ask difficult questions about the nature of the riots that the Guardian and the LSE established its Reading the Riots study however good the research I don’t think this should be left to journalists and academics We find ourselves again in a similar position academics – have been offering their views about the actions of the rioters Claims are made about the focus of the “protests” about the source of their anger and what they are seeking to achieve But in the absence of proper inquiry this will continue to be little more than speculation with the risk that we settle on simplistic assumptions and answers The reaction of the Starmer government to the events in Southport and elsewhere subsequently has like the Cameron coalition government in 2011 focused most of its attention on policing and punishment While the violence has been ongoing this is perhaps understandable But once order has been fully restored and things are quieter One can only hope that Keir Starmer is more open to the idea of an official inquiry than his Conservative predecessor was in 2011 More will be necessary and this ought to involve asking those difficult questions about the rioters and the riots I don’t think this should be left to journalists and academics Some form of high-level official inquiry is required Margaret Thatcher appointed Lord Justice Scarman to inquire into the events around the Brixton riots of April that year one that was highly influential and one that in many respects has stood the test of time The events in England in the summer of 2024 are too complex and too serious to be left without something similar The Prime Minister’s willingness to consider an independent inquiry is one of the first major tests of the new Labour administration All articles posted on this blog give the views of the author(s) and not the position of LSE British Politics and Policy nor of the London School of Economics and Political Science Image credit: Chemival on Shutterstock Tim Newburn has been Professor of Criminology and Social Policy at the LSE since 2002 most recently: The Official History of Criminal Justice we face the choice that confronted Cameron and Thatcher: to seek real explanations or move blindly forward It is just over a month since the first riots broke out in Southport – seemingly provoked by rumours containing false information about the alleged identity of the attacker who killed three children and injured eight others Five further days of disorder followed in a number of English towns and cities and in Northern Ireland – with the rioters apparently taking their lead from what happened in Southport at Asian-owned businesses and at hotels and other locations where immigrants were thought to be housed a number of fairly firm narratives have become established The first is that misinformation spread on social media was crucial in bringing people out on to the streets the anti-immigration rhetoric associated with the far right – and the “tough on immigration” messages now popular across the political spectrum – are assumed to have helped foment the violence The final piece of the jigsaw concerns the state’s response to the disorder Tough policing and robust sentencing by the courts are now widely touted as the key to bringing the violence to an end It seems our standard desire for simple explanations has been sated about what needs to be done as a response to such complex events Rioting is generally an indicator that all is not well in the body politic After the summer of disorder in 2011, along with colleagues from the LSE and the Guardian, I was responsible for a major research project: Reading the Riots more than 100 police officers and dozens of lawyers community members and victims of the violence and destruction Our research was able to illustrate the complexity of those events and how many of the assertions – on matters ranging from the alleged role of gangs to the supposed centrality of social media – were simply untrue We were also able to draw attention to matters that were otherwise being ignored including how the misuse of police stop and search powers fuelled the anger that was seen on the streets and the dangers presented by the conveyor-belt justice that we witnessed in our courts at the time the temptation to rush to judgment is once again present there is much about the 2024 riots that remains unclear What was the background of those out on the streets or stood by as others threw bricks and attacked people and places How did the events in different locations and at different times vary We should not assume that what happened in Blackpool was the same as what occurred in Belfast Though the authorities were initially caught unprepared, the eventual end of the 2011 disorder was thought to have been a result of mass policing and tough sentencing by the courts. Keir Starmer, then the director of public prosecutions, was convinced that the speed with which people had been brought before the courts was crucial in ending the violence This experience seems to have shaped much of his and the government’s reaction to 2024’s events. Well over 1,000 people have now been prosecuted and many sentenced What about the teenagers – the children – caught up in the disorder In 2011, Reading the Riots was provoked by the refusal of the then coalition government to institute a formal inquiry amid the plethora of largely unevidenced claims that were being made about what had happened and why. The prime minister, David Cameron, was steadfast in his refusal to countenance a public inquiry. It was “criminality pure and simple” The communities affected were largely ignored Almost nothing was done to address the problems the riots so clearly illuminated We find ourselves in a similar position today and the danger is once again that the government will fail to investigate the events and will consequently fail to act or presuming that what we’ve seen on our screens means that we somehow understand all that has happened and know what We have to go back more than 40 years to find a better model of how to respond this time to when Margaret Thatcher was prime minister in the immediate aftermath of the Brixton riot Thatcher was persuaded by her home secretary The outstanding judicial figure, Lord Scarman, was appointed, insisting when accepting the job that the inquiry would be speedy had much influence and has stood the test of time The question now is will Starmer follow Cameron’s lead or Thatcher’s The latter offers at least the chance that society might understand how and why people rioted Why would we choose to stumble into the dark Tim Newburn is professor of criminology and social policy at the London School of Economics The Alumni in Residence program connects current HLS students with accomplished HLS alumni for one-on-one career mentoring and advice.

think I was the right age when I saw Jaws There's something about it that's very relatable There's nothing too fantastical that prevents you from getting lost in it The film doesn't require you to suspend your disbelief too much so I've always been able to relate to it and I know the chill that goes up your spine when you see one for the first time Icon_Audio-Video_-PlayCreated with

people who grew up in that era too That's certainly true for Raiders of the Lost Ark I can't think of anything that you would want to change about it We speak to Professor Tim Newburn about his new co-authored book which explores facets of daily life  – dog mess toilets – that reveal the changing patterns of social order and organisation in Britain from post-war to the present day Q&A with Professor Tim Newburn on Orderly Britain: How Britain has resolved everyday problems Q: You have undertaken extensive research on riots and disorder – what inspired you to turn your attention to orderliness Q: Orderly Britain explores ostensibly mundane matters How did you choose the examples you discuss in the book It was dog mess that started the whole thing going Out walking one day I noticed my elderly aunt taking a bag from her pocket to remove her dog’s poo from the side of a country lane Her behaviour was very much in contrast with what I had experienced as a child in Merseyside where no-one picked up after dogs and the pavements were littered with mess Quite clearly something happened in the intervening period to change our expectations and our conduct And it was considering this that prompted me to think more widely about social change From there what I was looking for were other everyday subjects that all readers could find some personal link to Social change in relation to many of these matters – drinking even dog mess – turned out to have many of the classic features of social problem creation: claims about dangers and risk – often at least initially health-related – followed by spirals of action and reaction Image Credit: Photo by Matt Seymour on Unsplash Q: Are these ‘social problems’ purely a matter of state intervention or has the market played a part too They are far from simply a matter of state intervention Although state regulation has been very important in relation to many of the subjects covered in the book – drinking parking and so forth – corporate interests and the market are also often very significant sources of influence Where smoking is concerned it is clear that the overall trend in the post-war period is toward far greater state intervention and regulation – turning smoking from a popular But it is worth remembering that more than half a century passed between the publication of clear empirical evidence linking tobacco consumption to significantly increased risk of lung cancer and the eventual banning of smoking in public places such as pubs There are multiple reasons for this but one was the power of corporations to limit the nature and degree of official intervention The regulatory regimes that govern everything from smoking and drinking to the provision of public lavatories are heavily influenced by commercial interests Q: Another theme in the book seems to be a shift towards self-regulation whereby people internalise the idea of being ‘a responsible citizen’ Has this become a more powerful norm in recent decades of course in many respects self-regulation and one of the things that also lay behind the desire to write Orderly Britain was that what we might refer to as ‘informal social control’ is more important in day-to-day stability than the work of formal control agencies such as the police and the rest of the penal apparatus The book reinforces that classic sociological observation that order is not the product of top-down control but is the outcome of everyday interactions I do think in the longue durée – much longer than the period covered by this book – we have witnessed complex social processes involving increased pressure toward self-control: what the German sociologist Norbert Elias referred to as increased social constraint toward self-constraint or what Michel Foucault argued to be a shift toward the disciplining of the soul Q: One of the chapters discusses queuing – does Britain deserve its reputation as a nation of queuers In the main we have to acknowledge that the linking of queuing to British national character is long-established and widely believed Waiting in line is pretty much a universal activity albeit practised in different ways in different places and times Our reputation for queuing dates back to the Second World War and the queues that became an everyday experience as a consequence of rationing The association of queuing with the war effort in part helps to explain some of its positive associations queuing was utilised more negatively as an indicator of a lack of social and economic progress first by Winston Churchill’s Tories in the 1950s and later by Margaret Thatcher’s Opposition to underpin its claim that ‘Labour Isn’t Working’ It’s fascinating how queuing has become one of those stories we like to tell about ourselves Any chance of our throwing off this conceit about our national character has been undermined by the ten-mile-long queue to see Queen Elizabeth II lying in state Photo by Matt Seymour on Unsplash Q: Parking is the one example in the book where you point out that it really does need formal input for the system to work – why is this the case The bulk of the chapters in the book focus on examples of quite significant social change and tend to demonstrate the power of informal social control (as well as formal regulation) with consequently high levels of compliance It not only requires the presence of formal regulatory systems and officials but is also characterised by quite high levels of non-compliance There are close to 16 million parking tickets issued each year in Britain I think there are likely a number of factors at play As drivers we often feel ‘invisible’ and consequently behave in ways we might not in face-to-face interaction The complexity of parking regulations often makes compliance tricky and can become something of an excuse drivers feel a sense of entitlement and find a range of rationalisations – what criminologists have referred to as ‘techniques of neutralisation’ – to justify their lack of compliance and to normalise it Q: You turn to the impact of COVID-19 at the end of the book How did the pandemic affect your perceptions of orderliness in Britain today in the main it was not formal surveillance or enforcement that kept us in line but the very swift embedding of new social norms and shared social beliefs about how we should behave Q: Your co-writer Andrew Ward sadly passed away during the writing of the book How did you come to work together on Orderly Britain What parts of the book most strongly convey his vision Andy and I first worked together on a book on the Hillsborough disaster in the nineties In the period since he had worked as a freelance author writing dozens of books on a wide array of subjects but with football remaining his main focus The basic idea for this book came to me many years ago but because it was a ‘hobby’ rather than my job Thankfully Andy came on board to help out and it is terribly sad that he was unable to see it to completion His illness meant his role in its eventual form became quite limited but any reader who knew Andy would immediately be aware that it is the humour in the book that most strongly conveys his character Q: Given the proliferation of rules and regulation over the past decades Or is the construction of social order more complex than this We say explicitly that we don’t try to answer the question of whether Britain is more or less ‘orderly’ I think this is effectively an impossible question The focus is more about charting how our orderliness is managed and some of the ways in which it has shifted I think it’s fair to suggest that Britain is now a more ordered society than it was in the early post-war period What we have witnessed in all the areas we consider is a proliferation of phenomena that seek to guide and direct our behaviour regulations and rules to what some scholars referred to as the ‘official graffiti of the everyday’ the explosion of signage indicating more or less forcefully how it is expected that we will behave Note: This interview gives the views of the author and not the position of

Royal Books A burnt Mini on the steps of the former Scotswood station In 1987, aged 20, I returned to Newcastle I needed somewhere to live and I ended up taking the keys to a two-bedroom upstairs Tyneside flat in Scotswood for the “huge sum” of £29 a week children playing in the remains of the Robin Adair pub Even in its heyday had always had a certain reputation for its poverty and deprivation most notoriously as the home to the child killer Mary Bell back in the 1960s But by the mid- to late-1980s it had been hit extremely hard by the waves of deindustrialisation that had closed down most of Armstrong’s munitions works that ran all the way from Elswick to Scotswood along Scotswood Road Conservative party election poster for the 1992 general election the West End of Newcastle was hit by riots that spread across Tyneside after two joy-riders died in a police chase on the Coast Road at Wallsend to the east of Newcastle By comparison to events such as Handsworth or the Broadwater Farm riots but it still resulted in the burning out of the post office on Armstrong Road where I’d photographed women queuing to cash their child benefit cheques four years earlier these riots caused ructions among policymakers and politicians because of their nihilism – lacking the ready-causes such as the institutionalised racism Leslie Scarman addressed in the wake of the Brixton and Toxteth riots in the early 1980s The causes of these riots were structural to the Thatcherite project that no fact-finding visits by Michael Heseltine were going to address adequately We are still living with the consequences three decades later Michael Heseltine visits Scotswood in 1992 in the wake of the rioting that occurred there in September 1991 Living there for nine years was often surreal as “twocked” and burnt cars became so common that it took something interesting such as a Mini stuffed down the steps of the Old Scotswood station to register as a bit unusual children playing in the remains of the Scotswood post office after it went up in flames during riots in 1991 I moved from Scotswood in 1996 The area was in seemingly terminal decline as the anti-social

which is his alone The tale open as he’s introduced to his cellmate on Newburn’s first day in prison Because our Private Investigator/Crime Syndicate U.N Ambassador has been found guilty of murder so immediately there’s suspicion on the readers’ part that this is some elaborate sting operation of the detective’s construction making the wisdom of any plan placing him in this amount of harm’s way either very gutsy or very foolish but the two men find they have one thing in common: They are quite adept parlaying knowledge into survival currency.  Newburn’s ability with information commodity trading is effectively showcased in a confrontation with inmates he’s had convicted and it once again spares our hero serious injury The final portion of the story finds the mystery solved and Newburn once again a free man But it also addresses the application of knowledge as power and the misapplication of same From the merest inference of the murder Newburn’s seeking answers and culprits for to the revelation of its solution using very limited dialogue and few outside characters writer Chip Zdarsky exhibits his command of narrative He conducts a storytelling masterclass which leaves other crime drama comics looking bloated with their attempted Artist Jacob Phillips punctuates the spartan elements of the story by focusing on its equally spartan setting The cinderblock conformity of incarceration is barely reprieved with an exercise period in the prison yard backgrounds blank or missing as often as detailed Readers who enjoy the exchanges between Newburn and his cohort Her appearance in the story is very limited though her exposition places a bow of crime scene tape on the narrative itself There’s also a tiny suspension of disbelief factor regarding the American justice system It’s known for failure to act in a timely fashion (or at all) when exonerating evidence comes to light regarding an incarcerated prisoner’s innocence Once someone is convicted and incarcerated getting a verdict overturned easily is the stuff of TV and fictional story convenience “Spook-A-Rama” presents an effective ‘failure of justice to deliver’ story written by Casey Gilly the living proof our odd way of looking at the world and reveling in the unusual was not a fluke What if the one person who drew us from cold indifferent shadows into her warm and comforting shadowlands of nonconformity was taken from us What if we were the one who discovered her body And what if we were less than convinced the police investigation would successfully uncover the truth What if we expected instead a cold case file as cold comfort for all we had lost?  Protagonist Veronica Nakama has a few scales of justice balances on her side An overworked investigator who seems to genuinely care And her own determination to ass-kick the wheels of justice into motion but Gilly brings deep feels in its telling planting seeds of investment with her readers We want to see Veda avenged and her killer rotting somewhere not nearly as cool as the Coney Island boardwalk setting of this whodunit.  Artist Soo Lee brings unconventional aesthetic honesty creating our visual portal to Veronica’s reality its cool consolation finding her as a companion Her style grants Veronica’s pain its wondrous delivery by Veda and drives its world-weary need for reprisal.  Letterer Toben Racicot effectively adds to Lee’s vision The letterings of the menus and attractions are a little bit glorious Overall: For those seeking a cerebral crime comic alternative one which foregoes padded bullet ballets for

turned mob peacemaker into a place where he's in the most danger: prison the lead character enjoys a unique variant of diplomatic immunity — he is given virtual carte blanche by the NYPD and the city's crime families in exchange for keeping the peace and giving each party justice when wronged All this ends when he is sent to jail for a murder he claims he did not commit ending his usefulness to all powers and sticking him in danger from the very people he put behind bars All of this leads to a very surprising and labyrinthine set of events that may be the best comic book mystery in some time and definitely the smartest issue of this already enjoyable series thus far The script from Chip Zdarsky never lets on what it's really doing until it's far too late for you to do anything but marvel at its brilliance The artwork from Jacob Phillips and Toben Racicot brings the claustrophobic confines of a penitentiary to grim almost monochromatic life with deftness and immediacy The black-and-white backup story follows a horror-themed amusement attraction and young people trying to find themselves in the face of real-life horrors The visuals from Soo Lee and Toben Racicot are part Exorsisters and part Strangers in Paradise while the script from Casey Gilly makes these young lives seem real and vibrant you get a seriously enjoyable and well-crafted body of work with this issue but it surely gives you some story meat to enjoy with your literary meal This document may not be reprinted without the express written permission of Arkansas Democrat-Gazette Material from the

Phillips Not because the new series from Image Comics isn’t great — it’s fantastic you’re going to be pissed off you hadn’t come up with him first Zdarsky and Phillips introduce readers to their own version of Columbo EASTON NEWBURN is a private detective without loyalties investigating conflicts between rival crime factions while collecting enemies along the way a man is murdered after stealing from his own mafia family but they aren’t the ones who ordered the hit… Zdarsky’s script for Newburn #1 has several plates spinning at once But none of these factors are competing against one another; they were perfectly in sync no-nonsense tone that makes the jokes land so well And it’s the laughable disregard these characters have for other people that makes them feel so damn dangerous When Newburn is stopped at the entrance to a club he wastes no time in getting his arm around the bouncer’s neck he just tells Newburn to go easy on the new guy It’s all part of a day’s work for these characters Their casual responses to violence are both hilarious and disconcerting at the same time Maybe it’s Phillips art that puts the Columbo connection in my mind There’s a dry smugness to Easton Newburn It’s like he has the whole thing figured out from the first scene but he’s waiting for his cue to blow the lid off the case He’s waiting for his “one more thing” moment He’s completely emotionless as other characters get riled up but then he grins slightly when he knows they’re really pissed off It’s these little flashes of self-satisfaction between the lifeless looks of a man on the job that we learn everything we need to know about Newburn His is the face of a man who knows far more than he’s letting on every scene in Newburn has a kind of glow to it Even one of the character’s apartments has a soft pink glow to it Phillips reinforces a sense of time and place to each scene He gives buildings a personality and street corners a sense of character It’s a beautiful issue that completely immerses you in the world it’s portraying Phillips’ lettering is definitely the issue’s biggest weak point Word balloons often show up with very long tails that jut into the faces of some of the characters And when we see Emily’s journal — Emily is at the center of Newburn’s case and her thoughts show up as pages from her journal — it’s odd that there’s no effort to make those pages actually look like a journal we see her entries in white and yellow on a black background It’s a strange design choice that takes the reader out the world for a second But all of this is small potatoes in the face of this fantastic issue that Zdarsky and Phillips have put together You definitely don’t want to miss this series Zdarsky and Phillips are doing some of their best work with Newburn Pick it up and check out the awesome backup story “Brooklyn Zirconia – Part One” by writer Nadia Shammas Newburn #1 is out from Image Comics November 3rd at a comic shop near you (ABC 6 News) – A Pipestone woman accused of lacerating a toddler’s face with a pizza-cutter at KinderCare appeared at a plea hearing which was quickly recessed Tuesday was originally charged with multiple counts of 3rd- and 5th-degree assault after allegedly attacking another employee’s child following an argument said the toddler had a 3-centimeter laceration on her lower left leg as well as a “deep linear laceration” on the right side of her face which was 4.5 centimeters deep and had to be surgically repaired a second amended criminal complaint charged Newburn with 2nd-degree assault with a dangerous weapon–substantial bodily harm Newburn was going to enter a plea to 2nd- and 5th-degree assault in exchange for a sentence within usual Minnesota guidelines for 2nd-degree assault and the dismissal of the remaining charges Newburn diverged from an account of events from the case According to Olmsted County Attorney Mark Ostrem Newburn was “unable to acknowledge all the elements of the offense.” (ABC 6 News) – A Pipestone woman appeared in Olmsted County Court Thursday for allegedly lacerating a toddler’s face with a pizza-cutter at KinderCare Andrianna Newburn, 26, was charged with multiple counts of assault and terroristic threats following the incident at 815 Greenview Place SW on June 13 According to an amended criminal complaint the toddler injured had a 3-centimeter laceration on her lower left The cut was closed with three different types of sutures (ABC 6 News) – A Pipestone woman was charged with assault after allegedly lacerating a toddler’s face with a pizza-cutter at KinderCare According to Rochester police Andrianna Newburn, 26, was an employee at the 1815 Greenview Place SW childcare center Police claim Newburn assaulted another employee’s toddler with a pizza cutter following a disagreement that turned physical Newburn was charged with 3rd-degree assault of a child under 4; terroristic threats; 5th degree assault–fear of bodily harm; and 5th-degree assault–inflict or attempt bodily harm Court documents claim that around 2:50 p.m officers responded to the KinderCare location and found an employee holding her toddler who had a large laceration on her right cheek The woman allegedly said she had been in an argument with Newburn who grabbed a pizza cutter and said she was going to cut the other employee with it Then Newburn allegedly said if she couldn’t cut the woman the woman told police Newburn went into “the infant room,” where the employee’s daughter was and began swinging the pizza cutter at her The assistant director of the KinderCare allegedly told police she had seen Newburn and the other woman fighting and she had seen Newburn try to yank the other woman’s shirt over her head she saw Newburn come back with a pizza cutter and begin “banging (it) on the front glass of the building and yelling at (the other woman).” Newburn reportedly left KinderCare with her own children in a stroller then called police from a nearby gas station to provide her own statement Newburn said the other employee “swung on her,” they began fighting and after Newburn “got control of the pizza cutter,” she went after the other woman’s child the reporting officer asked Newburn if she intentionally tried to harm the toddler Newburn allegedly told police the other employee had threatened Newburn’s children A spokesperson for KinderCare released a statement saying “Nothing is more important to us than the safety of the children in our care This type of behavior is completely unacceptable and does not reflect KinderCare’s values or the quality of care we work hard to provide Andrianna Newburn is no longer a KinderCare employee.” The other employee allegedly involved in the incident is on administrative leave Newburn is currently held at the Olmsted County ADC on $150,000 bail with conditions They aren’t simply part of the “investigation of the month.” These characters have a story that’s bubbling beneath the surface A story Zdarsky and Phillips want to chip away at slowly Zdarksy doesn’t shy away from the uncomfortable parts of his script While Newburn is a character we’re supposed to root for – or at least want him to succeed in solving mysteries – we also see that he’s the kind of guy who can shrug off death with disturbing ease Yet Zdarksy also shows that Newburn’s a little disturbed by his own callousness Zdarsky places our characters in a tug-of-war of ideals Do they want to be inhuman and legendary in their ability to get things done Or do they want to cling to their conscience in a world that’s begging them to look the other way Zdarsky presents these ideas with subtlety and subtext He introduces this dilemma through pregnant pauses and unanswered questions It’s wonderful and chilling at the same time He throws a punch with the same look on his face as when he’s walking down the street Phillips shows us that Emma is Newburn’s connection to normal life But Emma still sees it for what it is: interesting Phillips focuses us in on the differences between these two by showing us their faces as often as possible zooming in on their smiles or (in Newburn’s case) lack thereof Phillips tells us so much about these characters in the simplest ways Many of the scenes have no vibrant colors in them That’s not to say these panels aren’t stunning Phillips’ colors somehow manage to look messy He gives every page an uneven painted quality which is outright beautiful But what we’re seeing are office buildings and quiet city blocks There’s not a ton to get emotional about So Phillips renders these in soft colors that blend together Phillips colors the background in bright red Phillips takes quite a straightforward approach in his lettering This uncomplicated approach matches the tone of the series perfectly And the one time Phillips changes things up When Newburn and Emma sit in the back of a car and chat we see them as reflections in the car mirror Phillips shows their word balloons coming from off panel each tail directed at a side one of them is sitting on He uses the reflection to show us where they’re sitting then keeps the word balloons out of the way of the rest of the picture It’s a fantastic choice which not only let’s the art breathe but feels like it places you in the scene with the characters Image Comics’ Newburn #2 hits comic shops on December 15th It shows that this series is going to be deeper than a simple crime story Zdarsky and Phillips want to know what makes Newburn tick Ohio — Longtime Jefferson County Commissioner Dave Maple decided against seeking re-election this year opening the door for Republican Jake Kleineke and Democrat Charlie Newburn to tangle for his seat Both are longtime county residents with their hands in many things Newburn previously sought a commissioner's spot in 2000 "We need a leader in the county to pursue the things needed for the public,” Newburn said and I want to do things for the public." Working at Wheeling-Pittsburgh Steel for 39 years Kleineke says Jefferson County needs to work out in front "We're behind in other counties from being looked at from our capital,” he said “I hear different quotes and sayings about where we stand I think if we get communications open to Columbus Kleineke is a multi business owner with experience in the welding fabrication industry He says it’s time to use his experience for community benefit "I’m familiar with that type of equipment,” he said I can help develop ways to do preventative maintenance and so on Both men have their ideas if they are elected "I want to pursue the projects that the men started and new projects which would be as far as getting more work in the area for the people and we’ve got a lot of young people who grow up and go to school and there’s nowhere for them to work," Newburn said He says the future of Eastern Gateway Community College and the Market Street Bridge are also on his mind we have all these natural resources to get exposed to people so you can't say there’s nothing to do around here,” he said I would love to market our area with the infrastructure that we have such as river "I'm more of a show people what you can do rather them tell them what you can do,” Kleineke said and I feel I can save the taxpayers money by having a no-nonsense approach and we can take the county a lot forward more than it is now.” "I believe I’m trustable,” Newburn said I've been here many years; my wife and I live in Unionport "If I can be a part of the county and help the people Past lies are catching up to Emily and Newburn and putting them in the crosshairs on all sides PLUS: Tabletop gamers plot a perilous heist in LOADED DICE by AMY CHASE and FABIAN LELAY and podcasts are at an interesting intersection which speaks to the pulp and linear TV side of the genre delivering on the case-of-the-week structure On the other side of the crossroads is the serialized format which is where many of these projects have pivoted to Longer mysteries and plotlines expand into multiple installments serving as the core tension of the final product the crime comic Newburn makes the pivot from the former to the latter A member of the Yakuza was framed for the murder by Newburn to protect Emily and now that information has been revealed to the crime families Meanwhile, the reporter Natalie, who was last seen digging into Newburn’s history, has found her angle and is working to her own conclusion to the story. There’s also the question of Newburn’s mother and her role in this giant web of deceit and mystery secrets being revealed between Emily and Newburn and an ultimatum issued by the Black Castle set into motion the final three issues of the series The roads Zdarsky presents are all credible whether it be the future Newburn envisions it’s just as easy to see an end filled with the death of Newburn The scripting does an excellent job of entertaining both options as Zdarsky takes the lessons of developing compelling mysteries and spins them into a more serialized storyline as the fallout of the various jobs all compound into the story of revenge from those wronged by Newburn and Emily The opening issues of Newburn were so compelling because they found the right balance of episodic and serialized the episodic has faded away but the control of pacing and establishment of a specific atmosphere remain It’s a fascinating bit of writing work that Zdarsky can retain that feeling of the story even as it shifts modes to deliver the final story Much of that consistency comes from Phillips’s artwork which retains its grounded approach to storytelling The issue lacks flashy splash pages in favor of tight Phillips divides the pages into either five or six panels utilizing medium and close-up shots to deliver the character driven beats for the majority of the issue Whether it be Emily confronting Newburn in a torn up apartment or Natalie debating a lede with her editor the repetitive layouts create a steady rhythm that delivers the change in style These pages evoke the feeling of watching a network procedural living in a uniform style that emphasizes the story and characters Phillips doesn’t skimp on the action beats when needed In the middle of this investigation and dialogue-heavy issue is a quick pop of action with Henry finding himself in an ambush sprung by the Albanos sticking with the five or six panel pages that give a unified concise delivery of violence that is easy to follow but feels like a real depiction of a gun fight There’s no doves flying or romanticized moments of twin guns firing as Phillips illustrates Henry pinned by and hurt Each shot is given a heft thanks to the lettering for the SFX and coloring on the page Phillips utilizes contrasting SFX and background colors in the action sequence to create a flow between the action filled panels while maintaining the arresting hues Golden yellow and a bright red alternate for the SFX and backgrounds of the scene immediately invoking the sense of sporadic gunfighting clashing with the cool blues and tans in the rest of the scene the SFX in these two colors evoke other images in the scene like the flash of the guns or the spilling of blood These echoes of color create a pulsing pattern that feeds the frantic nature of the scene In opposition to those bright flashes are the cooler tones the rest of the book trades in The standout use of the restrained palette is the scene where Emily and Newburn finally air out their respective issues giving a twilight feeling to the relationship between detective and protege Newburn knows his time is up in this scene and the coloring reflects that eve of doom and destruction and speaks the the artist/colorist’s ability to tap directly into the raw emotion of a scene and paint it into the scenery Part of the thrill of a new Newburn issue is the backup stories that give new and unique voices an entry into the crime genre This month is no exception as a new story starts in Loaded Dice by writer Amy Chase The backup sees a tabletop gaming group planning a heist using the roleplaying framework as code for the crime Chase develops a simple script that utilizes dialogue and narration from the table talk of the group that is juxtaposed by scenes of the target feeling like a natural progression of conversation that feels double in every word balloon If Chase revealed they pulled the entirety of the dialogue from overhearing D&D groups it would be believable because of that level of comfort with the jargon and pacing That organic dialogue gives way to allow the art and coloring to do a lot of the heavy lifting in the storytelling moving in and out of the heist and the planning Mini-panels set against a black background is a page layout that really evokes that heist aesthetic that implies the quick cuts between the respective roles of the crew Fletcher’s coloring creates two separate textures to the scenes with moodier blue-greens shading the heist while the group sitting around the table is bathed in waning golden lights Those separate tones establish the two worlds and allow for a delineation that trusts the audience to figure out what is going on at the moment Newburn #13 is the issue that shifts gears from network procedural to prestige streaming series as it moves from the episodic case of the week to the systemic fall of the mob detective Zdarsky pivots the storytelling to chronicle that fall stemming from Newburn’s hubris and attempts at total control and builds on the reporter subplot as an excellent frame to the narrative Phillips’s art instills a steady rhythm to the book that is bolstered by flashes of coloring and SFX that signal the shift into the serialized there is no doubt that the team will stick the landing but the fun (and tension) comes from how they plan to stick it and website in this browser for the next time I comment Post comment Δdocument.getElementById("ak_js_1").setAttribute("value",(new Date()).getTime()); This site uses Akismet to reduce spam.

I turn round the bend onto the country lane Easter Newburn Steading sits on and the sweep of the East Neuk coastline swings into view From the clustered rooftops of Leven to the golden sands of Shell Bay and the jutting headland where Elie lies Easter Newburn Steading is a former farm building that was converted into a house in the 1990s and has been substantially added to since then On a minor road off the A915 it’s roughly halfway between Upper Largo and Largoward In addition to a garden of almost an acre it comes with a 9.1 acre field John and Jane Banks bought Easter Newburn 11 years ago “We came to see it in the summertime and as soon as we turned off the main road and saw the view we were captured,” Jane says “The quiet location and the view were what we loved best about it.” Easter Newburn is a traditional former agricultural steading Four wings create a square shape with an internal courtyard Part of the building was converted into a two-bedroom house by the original owners in the 1990s The next set of owners developed more of the steading Jane and John added their mark to the property putting a stunning living/dining area with mezzanine level into what was once the milking shed “What’s really nice is that each owner has added their own stamp to the house,” Jane explains “There are still plenty of outbuildings left undeveloped so we hope the next owner will continue the tradition.” A glazed door in an arched window opens into the bright farmhouse style kitchen Next to this is a snug that is used as a dining room and has a wood burning stove “It’s really nice to cosy up in here on a winter’s day,” Jane smiles A hallway has a family bathroom and a large utility room From here a door opens into the wonderful open plan living/dining room the couple added to the house in 2014 The ceiling leaps upwards to full roof height where there are rows of exposed timbers The couple used the house’s gently sloping site to their advantage A dining area occupies the high ground. Steps drop down to the living area which has bi-fold doors onto decking. From here you have fantastic views over Largo Law and along the coast to Leven A spiral staircase leads up to the mezzanine level where there’s a Velux and a gable-end window that looks straight out across the sea A comfortable chair is perfectly placed to take advantage of the view Jane adds: “In the winter when the trees are bare you can see right across to Edinburgh At New Year we sometimes sit up here and watch the fireworks “We spend a lot of time in this part of the house It’s so well insulated that we have the doors folded open even on cooler days.” Up a flight of stairs are four spacious double bedrooms A guest bedroom has its own toilet and sink One of the bedrooms connects to the master bedroom and is used as a dressing room by Jane and John An upper hallway has a family bathroom off it and leads to another bedroom A second set of stairs drops down to the far end of the house where there are two more bedrooms and a WC The larger of the two bedrooms has a glazed door that opens onto a terrace “You could actually lock off one wing of the house and have it as a self-contained annex,” Jane explains the couple added a huge double garage with electric door Running along the far side of the house are a row of outbuildings – three sets of stables There is also a large workshop with an attic level office above “What we like about the house is its flexibility,” Jane explains “If you have horses the field is perfect but if you don’t the farmer’s happy to rent it – and he has expressed interest in buying it “The house can be a fantastic family home or a holiday home It could also be subdivided or you could create an annex The outbuildings could be converted into a cottage And it’s a fantastic place to work from home We’re due to get fibre broadband in September which should give internet speeds of 900mbps.” The garden at Easter Newburn Steading stretches to almost an acre There is decking and lawn facing west and enjoying views along the coast as far as Kinghorn To the east is a large stretch of grass and trees with a small burn tricking quietly down the boundary line The courtyard also has its own garden and patio which make sheltered outdoor spots on windy days Accessed through a gate is a 9.1 acre field which the couple rent to a local farmer utilising the two-storey outbuilding as their workshop and office space Jane runs a successful laser cutting and engraving business former GP John gave up being a doctor to pursue his enthusiasm for cars that specialises in remapping and modifying high end cars to produce much more power “I sell a lot of the technology I developed in America,” John says “They really love to get their cars up to 1,000bhp there.” After more than a decade at Easter Newburn the couple are selling up and moving to the Isle of Mann – famous for hosting the TT motorbike race What could possibly be the attraction of moving to an island with no speed limits “It’s a fantastic place for motorsports and living there has always appealed to us It feels like the ideal place to continue growing my car tuning business.” Jane adds: “We’ve been here for 11 years which is long enough to be in one place We will miss it but it feels like time to begin a new adventure.” Easter Newburn Steading is on sale with Rettie for offers over £785,000.

city of eight million strangers as various shades and hues can influence the underlying theme or emotion behind a scene A harsh red can lead an audience member to the feeling of anger or hatred while a forest green evokes the calming presence of the trees and a bountiful garden coloring sets an atmosphere and attachment to an emotion that can sell the essence of a story and its artwork which features an artist/colorist double threat in the form of Jacob Phillips wanting to use a connection she has in the FBI the reporter on the scene of Newburn starts to tie the Yakuza and Albano spats together looking for a chink in the detective’s armor Zdarsky’s script for this issue delivers a tense off-kilter look at the ways that secrets unravel The crux of the issue’s tension relies on how close outsiders (anyone not Newburn or Emily) get to the secrets about the Albano and Yakuza murders as a question suffices for the weapon of choice in this battle Newburn seems a bit more in control after the spinout of the last issue and continues to play those around him even as his strings start to shorten Natalie represents the largest threat of the issue with a sharp mind that seems to rival Newburn’s and a tenacity that refuses to drop a lead The conclusion of this arc seems to be telegraphed by the end of this issue plenty of pivots are lurking in the shadows Natalie’s uncovering of the truth is going to provide the crime family with their smoking gun unless Newburn can destroy another piece of himself to take her out Or Emily proves her true allegiance to either Newburn A juicy part of this book is the depths of speculation and Zdarsky makes any of the paths forward equally compelling Much of that comes from the experience of ten previous issues and a fine weave of intricate mysteries and shifting loyalties in this world of crime Another angle that makes the book such an enthralling experience is the shift in color palette that Phillip employs for the issue with a cold blue permeating the atmosphere of the story The cover uses a stark blue that echoes throughout the backgrounds and costuming of the issue creating a cool tone that feeds the tense game between characters The soft blue background of the cloudless sky feels tonally different from the sterile background of the prison that Natalie goes to visit and even the homey blue-green of Casey’s apartment Each of those hues evokes a distinct emotion but falls into a close balance of highwire tension The artwork also matches that range on display in the coloring working to emphasize the curiosity that underlines every interaction of the issue Whether it be the Yakuza members trying to affirm their role as leader while assuring doubts Natalie’s obsessive streak regarding Newbun or Emily’s search for a way out of the brewing storm Phillips creates a series of complex spectrum of emotions conveyed through faces and anatomy The icy tension between Newburn and the Yakuza is sold by close-up panels and reaction shots of characters gritting through formality The close-up pairs with the solid background to create a simple contrast that makes the emotion even more palpable The chilling implication of Oyabun’s words sinks right in thanks to the layout and coloring and no time is wasted in reinforcing this tone later in the issue Natalie and Shiroo’s conversation flows in a similar manner moving in and out of close-ups and reaction shots that reflect an idea-driven conversation There’s never a sight of a weapon or external threat but Phillips heightens the tension through his use of a steady rhythm of panel blocking Even a panel of the back of Natalie’s head is enough to draw the eye and sell the targeted nature of Natalie’s inquiries revelation of truth that Natalie comes to by the end of the interaction Newburn #11 is a prime example of how an established tone and rhythm can be twisted for maximum effect Zdarsky takes the idea of clashing questions and applies it to the center of the Yakuza case from the first arc which charts a path forward for Newburn and the other lead characters Nothing in the issue is too shocking or out of line but the constant affirmation of tone by Phillips in the spectrum of blues and the use of close-ups Newburn and its creative team continue to uncover new ways to dig into these mysteries and concepts through character and coloring specifically Colossal “When you look into the walls of an ice cave, you are looking into the past as if you were suddenly inside of a time capsule that had been buried for 500 to 1,000 years,” says Ryan Newburn “Every air bubble that you see is oxygen from a different time period Every speckle of ash is from a different volcanic eruption.” Raised in Omaha, Nebraska, and now based in Reykjavik, Newburn is closely acquainted with the ice caves that surround his adopted home. He first came to Iceland in 2018, training on the enormous Vatnajokull Glacier before working as an expedition guide and eventually launching his own tour company, Ice Pic Journeys with his fellow American business partner Mike Reid Newburn ventures into the frozen caverns with groups photographing them and the landscape along the way His images capture the immensity of the arctic masses and the shapely contours of caverns and rivers carving through the ice rocky tunnel or precariously posed beneath a cluster of sharp icicles to showcase the scale of the openings Occupying such an ancient and always evolving space is an experience that’s difficult to photograph because the constant trickle of melting water or even the unique interplay of light and glacier are impossible to depict entirely where the sun cannot penetrate,” he says “your eyes slowly adjust from the bright sun to the glowing deep blue crystal walls of the ice cave It’s a surreal visual experience that you cannot get from any photo of an ice cave.” While shades of blue dominate most of his images much of the walls are transparent and crystalline making it appear as if you could “gaze into it for miles.” This clarity due to the extreme pressure exerted during their formation that forced much of the oxygen from the snow as it compacted Although exploring these spaces is dangerous—Newburn emphasizes the necessity of proper gear and a guide who knows the ins and outs of performing crevasse rescues—it’s also an experience that truly only happens once What’s even more unreal is realizing that when you discover an ice cave for the very first time you are the only human that has ever been inside On a planet where almost every area of land has been explored the glacier provides you with never-ending caves and structures to discover This is because the ice is always melting away and forming something new that didn’t exist yesterday and won’t exist next year This creates an unending sense of wanderlust of what I am going to stumble upon next when exploring Newburn shares many of his glacial adventures on Instagram, and you can find more about his company’s expeditions on its site Do stories and artists like this matter to you?

By Clyde Hall — Easton Newburn’s the Anti-Columbo of investigators chauffeured car that’s a reasonably new model His conversations establishing that fact tend to be short and sharp or a suspect through their paces or in their places His reputation as a nearly supernatural boogeyman precedes him and he makes use of it He doesn’t set traps by making perpetrators underestimate him He models an eerie level of calm and observation that can’t be overestimated and when he’s determined who the guilty party is and he works for the largest New York Crime families In a perfect self-description from Newburn #1 inspector with total immunity while travelling the war zone and all the families have agreed to abide by them because he’s that good Newburn can prevent major dustups between the syndicates before they become serious That keeps the illegal fund rivers flowing to all parties his input can make law enforcement look good solving tricky mob cases and preventing gang wars But his expertise is a valuable proven commodity and liking him isn’t necessary so long as all parties prosper from it.  As he’s less than forthcoming left on his own the reader learns much through a new associate he’s hired as the title began Emily was involved in a crime and involved very intelligently Her role was hidden since equally guilty parties were already uncovered directly and in an ongoing journal about her new employer.   writer Chip Zdarsky’s put forth an intriguing murder case involving one or more crime family members Larger matters and additional details reside at the edge of the narrative things about his past and the ever-changing crime-scape he works for But it’s refreshing that the murder-of-the-moment not only has resolution each issue The murders are performed by a lone killer with no witnesses and the same M.O Almost as if a single vigilante has taken a dislike to mob members no matter who they work for Is it a case of our thinking man’s sleuth taking on a Punisher analog the body count’s over two dozen and the clues left are minimal.  Newburn’s reputation’s taken a hit and most likely that’s not random word choice As precarious as his and Emily’s positions are unmasking this latest killer proves even more dangerous than walking the mob family minefields.  Zdarsky’s strength in these stories lies in his ability to place clues stealthily or obviously with their importance indistinct until filtered through Newburn’s perception we also feel the currents of crime changing Leadership has passed to younger family members in some cases leadership which questions Newburn’s methods In #3 it’s suggested these interests send along some ‘help’ for their U.N But the sheer number of gang numbers lost across all the families before the crimes are solved is causing reevaluation of their arrangement Grist for coming issues and not the sort which makes Newburn’s life run any smoother.  The art by Jacob Phillips echoes Newburn’s understated and spartan approach to his work and the consistency of Phillips’ illustration bears this out Whether the scene takes place in a back alley a seedy apartment or Newburn’s sterile abode balance teetered between darks and lights.  and Phillips uses a dual balloon variation for dividing the dialogue I haven’t noticed it in the work of other artists and it bestows a small personal touch I appreciate Phillips’ use of his art creating sound effects rather than fonts and letters never more effective than in the final confrontation scene this issue.   and writer Nadia Shammas takes us on a flashback ride of how the relationship between protagonist Amir Khoury and his brother Amir’s been reaching out since Yaccoub was beaten and his store robbed but he’s been soundly rebuked Their history gives an interesting perspective on who originally wronged who and perhaps the crime here’s robbery with a side order of fraud It wouldn’t be Yaccoub’s first deceit of near-scriptural proportion.  Ziyed Yusuf Ayoub’s art is once again distinctively excellent in telling an NYC tale of family The line work of it conjures imagery of stylistic street art exactly as you’d expect across the ultimate urban concrete canvas His renders of youthful Amir and Yaccoub leave no doubt who they are he displays the ill will firmly fomented between these siblings.  vital in the signs and background fonts of the first narratively minimized chapter of this story is once more instrumental in relating the opposite: a tale with more expositional dialogue and his sound effect fonts are perfect for the pivotal scene of this piece.  Newburn #3 continues giving readers a thoughtful procedural in both main story and back-up Zdarsky’s use of Emily as our viewport in assessing Newburn and the situations they face is effective allowing his enigmatic former cop a degree of separation We don’t yet know a lot about him because Emily’s still learning In #3 we see him risking his own well-being rather than hers in one instance these situations tend toward greater sharing of details for future issues getting drawn into the “Brooklyn Zirconia” feature but with this issue it becomes required reading as much as the primary tale Overall: Whetting our appetite for more of both these masterful noirish offerings quietly with less cinematic bravado than restrained realism the members of each creative team deserve

he shaved 18 minutes off the time set by Siggy Bauer in 1975 to raise more than 7,000 New Zealand dollars (£3,800) for an autism charity Seven days later he posted on Facebook to announce that he was not going to claim the world record “for some obvious reasons” “Now that I am back home and the brain has started to clear from the fog and fatigue I have been able to think and reflect on the run,” he said “There were parts of the run where road/bridge conditions were totally unsafe to run and therefore I made the call to be driven through these parts – these decisions were my decisions “The traffic was the main culprit in these situations but there were some parts where road conditions were unsafe as well.” who has been called “the real Forrest Gump” said that sleep deprivation and the windy conditions in the south “were also totally unsafe” and paid tribute to his “hero” Mr Bauer He signed off by thanking everybody who sponsored his run and added: “Your support means the world to me keep exercising where possible and smile where able.” Responses to the confession were overwhelmingly positive with many praising his honesty and humility who worked as a drug and alcohol

record stands at 42 days Join thought-provoking conversations, follow other Independent readers and see their replies Emily goes back to school for a deadly investigation and runs into the last person she wants to see PLUS: In "GO BACK" by DRAGOTTA & BROTHERS the kid finds a brief moment of peace and camaraderie before asking his boss for a favor there’s nothing more compelling than a character (on either side of the law) with their back against the wall The backing into a corner makes them more desperate resulting in the most narratively fascinating actions Desperation and obstructions enrich conflict and characters and a book like Newburn thrives as its lead characters get backed further and further to the wall Newburn #12 – written by Chip Zdarsky with art, colors, and letters from Jacob Phillips, and color assists by Pip Martin – pivots and gives Emily the spotlight again, playing on previously established bits of her backstory from issue six That installment saw the young woman’s fall from the police academy and a flawed relationship with a small-time criminal He’s returned after picking up what he thought was a low-risk gig it put him on the radar of the Black Council While Emily investigates the reason for the hit on Armand, Newburn digs deeper into the Triad after the last issue’s case He knows the threats around him are only getting more dangerous he is looking out for Emily by refusing to help with Armand’s issues The two plotlines sync up at the end of both investigations with a literal bang as Newburn is shot protecting Emily on the street The book ends with a clear message to the detective duo as the criminal element is ready to strike against them Zdarsky’s script does an excellent job of infusing a new life into the issue by returning to Emily’s perspective It’s a pivot in the typical structure that develops the character’s already complicated history while creating additional fissures in her relationship with Newburn There’s a tense but effortless back and forth between Emily and Armand revealing the pain and tenderness of the long-past romance It’s easy to see why they never worked out an evident passion makes the long past relationship seem bittersweet Wrapping the relationship drama in the mystery of the stolen report cards also makes for an excellent scaffold to hang the complicated past That allows Zdarsky to play up the school angle providing an opportunity to reflect on the past’s simplicity and the present’s complexities as the structure gives way to other elements like the characters or form Emily shows how much she’s grown and developed working under Newburn letting the investigation serve her growth from cop in training to criminal detective the plot thrives in the shorter Newburn section of the issue as Zdarsky progresses the core storyline of the growing threats to the detectives The senior detective crosses the Triad off his list of problems to handle as he confides in his driver Foreshadowing the latter half of the issue and beyond this small moment showcases the range in Newburn’s personality proving his philosophy of knowledge and leverage as power he’s ready to admit that danger might be more than he can handle That complexity of character is solid enough on paper but is elevated through Phillips’s facial expressions and emotional clarity Every layout in this issue puts the characters front and center no matter if it’s a dialogue or action beat This creates an effect that overtly humanizes these characters who have thrived under the complex multitudes that Phillips’s linework has imbued creates a steady rhythm that only gets more oppressive as the book continues keying readers into the desperation starting to seep into the lead’s minds the linework moves from quiet discussions to explosive action later in the issue Emily’s quick show of force in the Bratva club sells her capability to exist in this criminal underworld only taking up two of the five panels on the page It’s paired with a bright red background and yellow SFX creating a shock of violence that seeps into the subconscious The final attack on Newburn and Emily is another flash of violence that Phillips renders with absolute clarity That moment uses a similar color scheme of red and yellow and only takes up two panels That echoing effect shows the two sides to the violence and how both sides of the conflict can make a physical threat Surrounding those flashes of red is a beautiful series of pinkish-blue hues that Phillips uses to contrast against the darkness of this world In both Newburn’s conversation with Henry and Emily and Armand’s final talk the coloring is used to show the softer sides of both detectives and reds around cast an ethereal hue over the man’s face as he reflects on the approaching danger the palette diverts to a pink that infuses a sense of sweeping romance between the detective and her ex The hue passes just as quickly as the sense of a win for this issue and Phillips makes clear that even in the darkest of times a new wrinkle in the status quo of the criminal’s private detective makes for an excellent pivot as Emily revisits her past The scripting for the issue forefronts character letting the mystery take a backseat as detectives and their respective fears and doomed loves take center stage The compositions and layouts build on that emotional core highlighting what makes the book such a compelling read month to month The linework pairs perfectly with the coloring to bolster both the bittersweet romance and explosive action to showcase the book’s range selling the shift from breezy victory to desperate corner Newburn continues to deliver high after high proving itself to be one of the most consistently rich crime dramas on shelves Newburn’s list of allies is growing shorter alienating police contacts and his employers at the Black Castle PLUS: Things heat up for the kid as he tries to find a single friend in "GO BACK" by BROTHERS & DRAGOTTA mysteries feel like a game in motion on the page with shifting motivations and allegiances underlying a compulsion to reach the center of the board There are typically rules or boundaries set and a bad mystery will often break these for narrative convenience True skill in crafting a mystery is not only setting up but maintaining the board while adhering to the rules without giving away the whole game That’s exactly what a book like Newburn does and why it remains to be such a compelling read month after month more cracks are showing as now even the media (or in this issue’s case a lone reporter) is starting to look harder at Newburn the ongoing case of the week involves the Triad’s sinking arrest rates while the rest of the crime families are seeing more lock-ups Convinced they’re being wronged in some way the Black Castle sends Newburn to look into the Triad’s methods for avoiding interference and confirm if a deal has been struck between the two parties Newburn and Emily follow leads on the cop side of things Just not the one imagined by the crime families even as the recently introduced reporter makes the case otherwise It’s so much so that he can time his watch to a person’s self-destructive tendencies but the coloring and art give the sense that the storm is closer to the harbor than expected moving at a steadier pace as the issue is split between the investigation while also starting to flush out the side plots The issue deploys five and seven-panel pages with a key moment uniform panels that work to carry that sense of rushed momentum as though time is running out Phillips doesn’t linger on the page and that urgency is felt not only in the layouts but the inking as well ensuring the creation of dynamic figures on the page that propel with action moving away from the more methodical style of the first story arc The page that crystallizes this style and shift is a totally silent page that ends the main story as Newburn exits the Black Castle and the doubt starts to creep in For what feels like the second time in this series Newburn seems like a normal human and the pressure is getting to him The first would be from the last issue when he got the sudden call from his mother The issue foreshadows this moment when Newburn goes to visit Casey at the station and a flash of anger comes out when he explains life before his role as peacekeeper It could be read as either an honest flare-up of anger or a well-constructed moment for the cameras and men behind the glass which could be read as a true revelation of Newburn’s doubts and fear It seems unlikely based on the progression of the panels but after everything on display in this issue Phillips’s expressions and direction bolster that sense of ambiguity but the use of color and change in time telegraph something might be different this time The back-up story written by David Brothers with art and letters by Nick Dragotta plays as a much shorter but just as compelling entry into the unraveling of a young man’s life The lead is still on the run after robbing and murdering a plainclothes cop last issue The issue delivers yet another stunning action sequence from Dragotta continuing the channeling from the hyperkinetic linework more often associated with manga The scripting also provides an excellent showcase for Brothers and his ability to infuse rich emotion in minimal words There’s a sense of melancholy to the lingering words as the lead tries to return home but is turned away due to his wanted status It cuts straight to the heart and reinforces his alienation pushing the story further into a place of no return Newburn #10 is an arresting example of how stakes can be recalibrated as a story moves forward Not willing to settle into something comfortable Zdarsky and Phillips work to create a dissonance in their craft to underscore the evershifting game that Newburn is playing with everyone planning to get him Whether it be in the form of a color palette that doesn’t betray the surface-level sense of calm or the use of cluttering panels that speed up the previously methodical pace the game is evident but the motive behind it is still shrouded in questions This issue feels like a calm before the storm and displays a level of craft from Zdarsky and Phillips that will keep you hooked until the tempest at bay arrives The RNLI

Posted in: Comics, Comics Publishers, Image, Review | Tagged: , , , A mysterious gangland murder brings out the worst in many people in power, and Newburn #7 is here to throw the plot twists at you fast and furious. When a special set of circumstances isn't enough to make everybody play nice, things can get messy on the playground of New York's streets, and virtually nothing is what it seems. The former cop with the titular name has a deal with every crime family in New York City to help maintain the uneasy peace between them. The problem (for him anyway) is that he's picked up a new apprentice, and said new apprentice has a history with some of those crime families in the city.  This, of course, leads to some twists and turns when a Yakuza crime boss is killed in his home, and the story in Newburn #7 does quite a bit to manage intimate tensions. Writer Chip Zdarsky has turned in a wonderfully mean-spirited crime drama with real teeth and layers that peel back from the story like an onion. The visual storytelling from Jacob Phillips and Toben Racicot brings each moment to vivid life. A solid black-and-white segment of a backup story called "Spook-O-Rama" shows a bit of juvenile detective work that feels like it would be better served as a single story and not backups. Nonetheless, the entire package presented here is entertaining, and the lead story surely has an absolutely jaw-dropping conclusion. Newburn #7 builds up another noirish smash hit that is 100% worth a read. RATING: BUY. Enjoyed this? Please share on social media! Security fears have lead some residents from an estate badly affected by flooding to move back into their homes in spite of advice to leave. After severe rainfall gouged out material from under a four-storey development in Newburn, Newcastle, people living in the surrounding homes in Mill Vale were advised to move out. But now due to an apparent lack of security on site some have taken the step of moving back to protect their homes. There is also anger among some residents as Dunelm Homes, the developer of the estate, has a house from Mill Vale listed as its Home of the Week. On their website the development is described as "hidden by deciduous woodland, providing all the peace and tranquility of the countryside". Dave Moir, 35, who has lived on the estate for seven years, said: "We are all feeling confused and scared and we want to be proactively informed. "Everything that has been done so far has been reactionary. "We were promised 24 hour security but that has not been the case and people are just walking through all the time. "There's nothing wrong being interested but we're asking people to do it from the road. "Some residents have chosen to come back to their homes to protect them because there is not the security here we were promised." There is also a fear that more rain this week could cause further flooding. As a result people living in Mill Vale were advised to leave their homes but were given the choice of whether or not they did. Newcastle City Council said a dene north of the estate, which is full of water, could overflow and cause more flooding if rain is heavy. A second dene behind Mill Vale, which has debris from an earlier flooding event, could also fill very quickly with water if a culvert becomes blocked. A spokesman from Dunelm said: "We are extremely sorry for all of the families affected by these events. "Despite implications to the contrary by others Dunelm Homes has been providing much practical support throughout this week to both residents and other parties involved through its team on site. "The fact remains the events leading up to this situation were and are out of our control and not our responsibility. "We have acted with the thoroughness and rigour with which we conduct our business and the care with which we work with our customers. "We have compiled an exhaustive timeline detailing all significant events and critical documentation relating to the entire site and its curtilage."
