Due to dyslexia, I had to get Mrs Tweak to point out what you where on about

Mr Wagner, I totally apologies for the mistake and was in no way deliberately being rude. I have dyslexia and sometimes cant see sometimes obvious mistakes. Spell check only helps so much. :S

I think people tend to hate on it because it's tied in with the Pa/Junior Angel resurrections and to be fair it's probably the point where Judge Death lost any semblance of credibility....



While I really appreciate your POV on liking The Three Amigos, you have also hit the nail on the head for why I chose it to rate the SD by.
I also personally disliked it because it was a poor copy of Dredd Angel, a story that showed you how to write a Mean Machine story and sadly was also one of the last times Mean Machine had any semblance of credibility.

There are only so many lobotomies a person can have.

I am sad to say I really am not enjoying this chapter of SD at all. I really think Mr Wanger is off the boil with this whole story to the point where I would rate it as "The  Three Amigos" bad. But then IMO while I acknowledge Mr Wangers' superiority as a writer on Dredd, I have really felt that the SD stories of recent years have all been missing something barring Blood Moon. The last couple of episodes really lost me though.

Know any women who read comics? Shit! I hardly know any PEOPLE who read comics. Computer Geeks, yes. Vinyl Junkies, yes. Gamers, also yes. But I am pretty much the only reader of comics in my group of friends. Mrs Tweak is closest as she is a childrens illustrator by trade so she appreciates comics but rarely reads them

Games / Re: Halo: Reach

I gots Halo (PC) and I do like it might load it up this evening. I run XP so I have not been able to run Halo 2 (a fcuking piece of shit marketing ploy on Microsofts part. I will NOT get Vista). I did think that Halo is a slower paced game on the PC (FPS are generally quicker on PC) and wish that they thought to speed up the Master Chiefs movement as it is an arse on hardest.

Mrs Tweak (Professional Illustrator) made one out of and old draw
Step 1 find large old draw from chest of draws with thickish draw bottom
Step 2 take bottom out leaving frame intact and measure it
step 3 affix light fitting to inside of box (any type of small strip light will do)and wire in appropriate cable/plug
Step 4 get pain of glass of appropriate thickness cut to same size as draw bottom
Step 5 slide glass in to grooves for draw bottom

Optional extra: you can get a sheet of lighting frost (for theatre lighting) and cut it to the same size as the glass so you have an opaque surface. if there is a theatre near you there will likely be some where that would sell that kind of thing

costs = the light fitting, cable, plug and the glass less then £30
Old draw = free if you know where to look

As Jim has quite rightly said the important part to remeber when sending this kind of letter is
"If you have a postal address, I would suggest both an e-mail and a letter by Recorded Delivery."
You can, with this, then have evidence accepted in court of where the letter has been and who it was delivered too. It may cost more than a first class stamp but the excuse "Lost in the Post" becomes mute.

Any and all boarders have my greatest sympathy on this. Comic IP issues after a problem like this can be notoriously difficult to resolve. Even if the company end is not run by the kind of person Jim has described. (Grendel took years to sort out for example). Fingers crossed for all.
