Topics

I've got to say that I had a blast. The 2000 AD booth was as ever a source of much fun and shopping and the creators couldn't have been nicer. Meeting John Wagner, Brian Bolland and Alan Grant was a highlight for me. Thanks 2000 AD!

What did we all think?

Hi guys.

Yes it's another "hello I'm new here" topic. That's it exactly. I've been a Wednesday comics guy (Thursday early on) since 1999. I'm 34 and have lived just outside London all my life. For the last 4 years I've been an active member of the 11 o'clock comics podcast forum and have enjoyed the banter and recommendations there. In 2011 I went along to Kapow comicon and passed by the 2000AD booth. I picked up a prog and subscribed the following month.
This past year I've moved house and watching removal men carrying long box after long box of comics out of my house and into a van was a kind of intervention. I just don't have the space or the time to have that collectors mentality anymore. Will I ever read this issue again? If the answer is no then do I really need it and should I be getting it in the first place. So an iPad was bought in July and now 2000AD and the Megazine are the only paper comics I get now. The prog is ideal for taking to work and getting through an 8 page story during lunch. I use Comixology for about 5 remaining titles from the big two that I'm still enjoying but now it seems that the case files and the larger phone book 2000AD collections are filling my comics reading time.
So really that's me. Just saying hi and I hope to chat back and forth with you guys over the coming year.

Be Well

I've been reading comics each week since 1998. Yep, I'm a Wednesday guy. American comics have ruled by pull-list for so long. I went to Kapow in April and was so impressed with the 2000 ad presence there. And so, ashamed as I was to be a British comic book fan who managed to get to the age of 33 without having read any 2000 ad, I promptly subscribed. Well it's been quite a ride and there's no turning back. I love getting home from work on a Saturday to find a thrill filled prog on the door mat. I am a fan for life. Now if you'll excuse me I must get back to my Judge Dredd Case File vol 2. I have much catching up to do.

I'm new here and (if truth be told) new to 2000 AD. I've been living in London and reading U.S comics every week for the last 12 years and I'm a big trade paperback reader too. I read 3 of the Button Man vols last year and really enjoyed them. Kapow Comicon tipped me over the edge with a huge and friendly 2000AD showing there. I picked up my first prog last week and I'm now sold. Judge Dredd Case Files vol 1 is halfway read right now and I'm eager to subscribe to the series. So bring on your recomendations and whatnot as I have 30+ years of awesomeness to catch up on.
