Congrats.

Secret tunnel used by Dredd in the Apocalypse War.

Dredd, Brink and Scarlet Traces are all rocking my world.

I love a good PJ story so if this is gonna be his last I hope he gets cubed (again) and not killed.

If he just gets cubed it won't be the last PJ story. Comics characters are only finished when they're dead, and often not even then.

I remember reading a load of back issues when I went on a sleepover to a friend's house. I was reading Battle at the time and he introduced me to 2000ad, which felt like a more modern version of the stories I already loved. The first Prog I bought for myself was I think the one with The Perps on Runners Walk. Unless Sector House 9 came first in which case it was that.

Necropolis, by the looks of the blurb.

I'm with Cosh. It should have been - and to an intelligent reader no doubt was - blatantly obvious. For me it was a surprise in the last act. One which made me it's my stupidity but an enjoyable unintended twist nonetheless.

Alone! Can't praise it highly enough, and the new one has just come out.

Love the pointy elbow and the sweat dripping off it. It's a beautiful picture of resilience in the face of despair.

Any idea why this is marked as not available on the iPad app?

Very nice. If he's got his inking head on mine might not be far behind. Woohoo.

I think I first read Arkwright in my late teens - which was after Talbot's stint on Nemesis - and I was hugely impressed with the art and the depth of the world-building. Heart of Empire impressed me less when it came out, but when I re-read the whole series earlier this year it stands up remarkably well. Although lengthy it seems very much an epilogue to the first story, and one which revisits much loved characters many years later to examine the changes. I don't know what a reader would make of Heart of Empire if they hadn't read the first book. I suspect they wouldn't get very far.

Donated, although I note that I had to tick a box confirming there wasn't a raffle in order to be eligible for gift aid. I'll keep it quiet if you do.

And what is Anderson (I assume he meant Anderson) busy with?

Have I misremembered the first series of Black Shuck? I thought he'd become cursed as a result of being bitten by the monster on the island, but this week suggests he's been that way since birth. Most odd and v confusing.

Apart from that it's a solid Prog this week, with a couple of points of true genius.  The use of incendiaries to divert the heatseekers was fun (has this been done before?), and the final line of Scarlet Traces is surely a motto for our times.

Aren't there Eagle covers in the Zenith books?
