For past 1,5 year I was reading all my Progs on iPad mini. Perfect option for me cuz I like reading Progs while I'm in crowded subway trains on my way from home to work.

Region 4 unfortunately - is there an easy way of playing these without buying an Australian DVD player?

And what about PS3 or PS4 player?

First issue is fun read and while I'm not a fun of current Remender books (with Deadly Class as a only exception) this seems to have potential for something more (like Last Days Of American Crime or Fear Agent).

Oh and Murphy is great for this book.

One question. Where can I check what 2000AD/Rebellion brings on specific conventions? Merch etc. Or should I just check FB profile near convention date?

If there's something exclusive to a show we'll shout about it on social media beforehand.

Thanks.

So nothing exclusive for NYCC I guess (I know, I know, there'll be Mezco toys).

Damn, can't wait for my Tokyo Ghost #1 to arrive. I hope this book will be as good as Deadly Class was 'cuz other Remender titles from past two years didn't work for me (creator owned and marvel ones).

Still IDW could bring us proper Doctor Who/Dredd crossover.

Why the hell would you want that.

Cuz I kinda like Dredd/Mars Attacks crossover.

You just reminded me why I'm a little bit sad that IDW no longer have rights for Doctor Who...

Don't be - Titan are doing marvellous things wi' it. Benefits the droids a lot more too! ;)

Point taken  ;)

Now up on Amazon UK for pre-order:

Metalzoic - Hardcover, 10th November 2015, 144 pages, DC Comics.

Is this confirmed as a hardback?

Maybe it's part of DC Deluxe like they did with new edition of Marshal Law.

Didn't the Mars Attacks/Dredd crossover begin as just a cover?  We could be on the verge of a whole new crossover story. ; )

Detroit: An American Autopsy by Charlie LeDuff. This book feels like The Wire episode. Best non-fiction work I read for a long time (I guess since Amexica: War Along the Borderline).

If I remember Williams is already part of DC crew, he's the one responsible for new Martian Manhunter series.

This whole book is like pastiche of his Robocop and All-Star Batman & Robin but without any satire.

If there was any satire in either of those it was too subtle for me. The only entertainment I managed to squeeze out of them was of the "so bad it's good" variety.

Too be honest, from his Robocop stories I really like Robocop & Terminator crossover and from his two solo Robocop scripts I kinda think that Robocop: The Last Stand was quite fun read, unlike previous one.

And about this satire thing... I meant that this book (HT) feels like failed at attempt autoirony.

I have to ask... what about the quality of Titan Merchandise?

I only have ones from Plastichead and if Titan has prints in similar quality it'll be ok
but I prefere to ask beforehand.

I still don't know what happened to Miller. This guy used to question authorities, he critized propaganda. Damn, his older books was very important for me when I was younger... He was THE number one for me.

Yet Holy Terror is utter shit.

The racism is one thing, second thing this book is just poorly written. Constant repetition in dialogues and monologues. This whole book is like pastiche of his Robocop and All-Star Batman & Robin but without any satire.

Goddamn sad.
