There's something in Cardiff including the amazing Patrick Goddard.

wow, fair dues I missed that one.  Last time I met Mr Teague he was a delightful gentleman (at the one and only Ponty comic-con).  Heard great things about Mr Roach and his artwork is outstanding. 

Might have to see if I can get a pink-chit for that one (permission from the wife / other half for those unfamiliar with military terminology).

Another Ponty Comic-Con being organised by the District Club apparently

Loved it, really enjoyable and i would definitely follow some those stories to completion but it really works as palette cleanser in contrast to the normal prog. Definitely prefer this to the regened enforced break, which should spin off as a monthly imo.

Loving Rogue, quite enjoying the slow pace and simplicity whilst waiting for the inevitable twist. Keeping track of some of the other stories can be a chore i feel.

Apparently the issue with the dodgy spine us being reprinted

Sad to hear that Jim has passed away, one of my favourite 2000ad artists, especially on Skizz and New Statesmen RIP

[he never made advances on anyone who wasn't receptive]

It's a classic mistake to think that someone who likes sex must be a sexist - Dante's almost a feminist in his championing of the female sex, and he never made advances on anyone who wasn't receptive (Jena the very notable exception!) He is a bit one-track minded and immature, but he's constantly called out on it by most other characters later on.

indeed. He makes an outraged point about consent to the woman in rudenstein. Strikes me as a classic 2000ad character, deeply flawed but when faced with a moral dilemma has a strong sense of social justice. See risking his life to steal enough money to stop the citizens of rudenstein being sold in serfdom for example.

I was just about to say enjoying dante as a fun romp but 9 volumes? Glad to hear it develops 🤔

His vision of hell jibes incredibly well with Dante and that was probably the inspiration.  About as close as I think we will ever get to an illustrated version of that work.

Just got the kingdom and nemesis books. Really enjoyed kingdom,i thought the art really improved as well. Love gene.
Saving nemesis although read it dozens of times, but very happy to have it in a really nice format with lots of gorgeous o'neil and redondo art.
Wallet is the definition of tat 😆

Same in cardiff smiths

Got 3 and 4 today, havent read the kreeler conspiracy before so thats all good, shakara i already have so meh. Both lovely editions so im fixed n getting the whole collection

That list is great for me, at least 50 books of stuff i dont have and will really like! Really nice wuality as well, hope it manages the whole run

Got mine now
Fussy but the artwork on the mug is different to the ads.
Looking at my rebellion horned god, the hachette is a cm smaller, noticable immediately i thought.
The overall quality is great, and for me this an alternative to collecting the progs or graphic novels, so good value overall.
I think i'll review after the free gifts are exhausted but right now i'm in for the 80

The inevitable posties 'you were out' card! Doh, have to wait to Tuesday for the goodness now
