BONUS REVIEW by Kevin Healy
 Briggs Land is Brian Wood's latest timely triumph. It's a mix of militia, government, white supremacy, and crime-imagine Sons of Anarchy crossed with the sovereign citizens movement. The Briggs are a family that exists outside the United States but well within the U.S. borders in a compound not dissimilar to Waco (and in some ways Mormons and Scientology members). The matriarch of the family decides that her prison bound husband can't be trusted to protect what they've built. She's right, and in painful, personal ways. The exposition is presented in fine fashion from the Briggs' perspective countered by the FBI's. That means the writing and the storytelling are both excellent, combined with satisfyingly simple art by Mack Chater. If you're sort of terrified by fringe groups, this book is for you. If you participate in fringe groups, this book is also for you. It's win-win! I give it 9 out of 10 Grahams VERY FINE/NEAR MINT
