	: RevolutionSF - Jack Staff is . . . : Review
		Paul Grist’s worlds of Kane and Jack Staff are painted in stark fls and whites, figures reduced to icons, environments represented by no more than a smattering of rocks, or bricks, or a few wisps of clouds.
		Grist, who had been writing and drawing comics for a few years by this point, pitched Marvel Comics on a Union Jack miniseries, which would spin out of this old Captain America story, keying off of the possible endings he’d imagined years before.
		Recently, many of the characters Paul Grist references and resuscitates in Jack Staff have appeared in DC Comics’s Albion, plotted by Alan Moore and written by Leah Moore and John Reppion.

	SAVANT:: Reviews
		Paul Grist's Jack Staff is ostensibly about "Britain's Greatest Hero!", a mysterious figure in a stylized Union Jack spandex outfit brandishing a staff.
		Grist begins with the detectives and a grisly setup, but before you've had time to settle in for the tale, up pops The Druid and, reaching outside the fourth wall of the page, directly addresses the reader, imploring his help for the good of the cosmos.
		Grist's layouts would probably work just as well silently as they do with the addition of text; they demonstrate that despite what we've been fed over the years, we readers don't need to be led by the nose.

		When Paul Grist announced that his self-published series Jack Staff was moving to Image Comics and in color, I was nothing short of delighted.
		In both Kane and now Jack Staff, Grist has juggled a story narrative spanning two different time zones; in the case of Jack Staff, Grist is splitting it between Jack Staff's earlier time in the limelight (twenty years earlier, before his sudden mysterious disappearance) and the present.
		Grist's people have always looked so very real despite its whimsical style; he's able to bring such emotion to his characters it's fantastic.

	FANBOY PLANET.com .: rs-kane :.
		Since others have indeed found Grist to be read-worthy, Image Comics has been importing and reprinting some of Grist’s earlier work, mostly of his criminal noir comic Kane, for quite some time now.
		It may be Grist demonstrating the level of corruption that New Eden has attained, making even the good cops seem bad and corrupt but it adds something to the text in the way it keeps the characters from becoming pat.
		Grist is at home with fl and white, and it shows far better here than it did with Britain’s Greatest Superhero.

	Burglar Bill #4 Review - Silver Bullet Comics
		Paul Grist is a terrific writer and artist, and delivers a wonderful comic book in Burglar Bill.
		Thus Grist brings readers a very funny and clever take-off on Spider-Man, while still maintaining the integrity of his own comic.
		Grist is trusting enough of his audience that he allows readers to read any subtext into the scenes that we might want, while still presenting the character with all the respect he deserves.

		Before long, Grist is seamlessly weaving the past and present together as we learn just how much the lives of Kane and Darke are connected.
		Grist manipulates the reader's eye, zooming in on specific images and lingering over them as a director would.
		While careful readers will instantly be able to tell when the shifts occur, here's a tip—not only is Kane's hair significantly shorter in the flashbacks, but all the flashbacks have a long fl column running up and down the middle of the page.

	Welcome to Slushfactory.com: A Pop Culture Extravaganza
		As new readers, we’re naturally expecting to have missed out on some things, but at the same time, there’s a reasonable expectation that a first issue (even the first issue of a second volume) will summarize enough past material so as to be coherent, which this issue sort of fails to do.
		Grist basically gives each character or group of characters about two pages each for a short bio and narrative that establishes who they are and roughly how they fit into the context of the overarching story.
		I simply feel that Grist had a rather sizeable opportunity, debuting at a much more well-known publisher, to capitalize on good word of mouth and gain some new readers.

		Grist's minimalist yet inventive storytelling is to be found here once again, and his simple, unconventional style is always a pleasure.
		In an industry dominated by digital lettering, Grist's slightly crude print catches the eye, and exclamations leap out of the art and take on a life of their own.
		There are moments when Grist breaks out of his cartoony style and captures a noir realism that adds depth and a deliciously dark atmosphere to the story.

		And Paul Grist's striking and simple style makes him one of the most unique voices in the industry.
		Grist's artwork here -- dating back as far as the 1980s -- is still easily identified as being rendered in his style, but I'm struck by certain influences.
		The two strips attributed to Grist as writer are definitely lighter fare, clearly meant more to tickle the brain.

	The Friday Review: Kane: Greetings From New Eden
		KANE first appeared in 1993, and was launched during the course of a UK tour which saw creator Paul Grist joining with Dave Sim and Gerhard of CEREBUS and Nabiel Kanan, who was launching EXIT.
		Grist makes use of a strong line, largely geometric forms and heavy, stark contrast between fl and white.
		Grist is one of the strongest pure storytellers working in comics; in a similar manner to artists such as Alex Toth, Steve Dillon and D'Israeli, Grist is more interested in the design, shapes and form of the page than in pseudo-photorealism.

	Jack Staff: Yesterday's Heroes TPB (ADD Review)
		Grist also shares a dry sense of humouor with Mignola, and now that I think of it, fans of Hellboy will most certainly want to give Jack Staff a try.
		Grist has an affection for superhero comics, and the springboard for the story-arc collected here was a fondly-remembered Roger Stern/John Byrne Captain America story involving Baron Blood and Union Jack.
		It's a telling note on Grist's method and motives that Betsy gets a new title by the end of this initial storyline, and that the new status quo is not a temporary gag but a life-altering event that lends itself to dizzying storytelling possibilities.

		When I first saw promos for Paul Grist's JACK STAFF comics, I wondered why we needed a superhero that appeared to borrow so liberally from 2 other established heroes: Marvel's Union Jack and Captain Britain.
		Grist's approaches to Captain America (Sgt. States) and Dr. Strange (The Druid) are alternately hilarious and eerie, taking approaches that are very original, yet could never work in Marvel's continuity.
		Despite his cartoony style, Grist's grasp of anatomy and perspective is rock-solid.

	Jack Staff #9 Review - Silver Bullet Comics
		Jack Staff is a wonderful comic, and Paul Grist is one of comics' most brilliant storytellers, and yet the title sells in relatively tiny numbers.
		The resolution of the Kapitan Krieg plot works quite well, and Grist displays his usual strong writing skills with a chapter that both brings the plot to a satisfying climax and leaves behind a number of compelling questions.
		His simple cartoony style seems to belie an intimate understanding of the medium; layouts and pacing, storytelling and characterisation are all absolutely spot on, making for a comic that while lacking in flashy overdone visuals, is nonetheless a joy to look at.

	Reflexiones de un aburreovejas: Paul Grist
		Y entre ellos se encuentran las obras del británico Paul Grist.
		Grist no es un autor que gráficamente llame la atención.
		No sólo por la escenografía, sino porque Grist, como se ya comenté con Kane, gusta de experimentar con la secuenciación de la historia, desarrollando en paralelo varios hilos, presentes y pasados, que van construyendo una narración en la que uno se puede perder si no presta la debida atención.

	Mike's own personal soapbox!
		JACK STAFF by Paul Grist is one of those books that encompasses all those criteria.
		But when you've got a talent as special as Paul Grist, who's every page is a study in storytelling, bold simplicity and design-- and who's stories are as interesting with their myriad interweaving story lines and sub plots....
		JACK STAFF is populated with an array of fascinating and quirky characters-- from the title character himself, to THE FREEDOM FIGHTERS (a wonderful team of heroes JACK was a part of who's adventures are told in flashback sequences from WW II) to Becky Braddock: Vampire Reporter.

		These stories are written with an inventive wit and zest for adventure, and Grist's evocative, clear-line art would do Alex Toth proud.
		Stories jump backward and forward in time, and from place to place, with an almost reckless abandon; yet Grist's skillful compositions and sure storytelling never leave the reader behind.

		With the increased interest in old British comics characters, seen through the impending launch of the Alan Moore-created WildStorm mini tribute to British comics, Albion, and the Titan collections of The Spider and The Steel Claw starting this summer, the timing could be perfect.
