Since Moore departed the series, Tom's adventures have been continued by writer Peter Hogan and illustrated by Sprouse (whose work I adore).
They've been doing good work, and that continues with this mini-series, which takes Tom and his son-in-law Val on a journey to an alternate reality where the Earth is faces a terrible fate because of a mysterious plague.
Which creates a serious delay, because Val's wife (and Tom's daughter) Tesla is facing death - and even if they find a way to save her, they can't return home until they discover a cure for the plague.
This series is always like a breath of fresh air, with tales of heroics, intelligence over brute force, smart science fiction concepts, with terrific characters, wonderful art and an ever-growing mythology.
I certainly hope this won't be the end for this great, great series - there are many more great Tom Strong stories waiting to be told.
