Up to V2 #13 now.And its a bit of an improvement.Armitage is back,And Calhab Justice started.There is an odd story focusing on Hershey or Anderson here and there.They vary in quality.
And Mechanismo is starting.

I never watch any series as I usually don't have the time.

Over the Xmas break I binge watched Walking Dead. Had only previously seen a short part of one episode. Still hooked (because I have a gap in work). Am in middle of season 3. I get some of the criticisms you guys made many years ago.

Fashionably late to the party.
Same situation here,as mentioned before.  :)

I second that.Season 1 was a bit slow,but season 2 was a lot better.  :)

Into volume 2 and things don't really look any better.
Texas city sting was a fun Dredd story,then its Judgment Day,which was a crossover with 2000AD,so Meg only has a few pieces.Moving on,we have Devlin Waughn Swimming in blood,a lot of people will hate me for saying this,but its a mediocre action movie plot with an untypical protagonist.Which is its one saving grace.
Armageddon:The Bad Man I assume this was an attempt to cash in on Terminator(and Wolverine)?There is really not a lot to it.And we have Soul Sisters,and for the lack of a better term,its was crap.
Im starting to miss Red Razors. :|

I guess that would be "Every empire falls" story?
Granted,coorporate aliens have been done before,but its a nice twist for Kingmaker.
Texas city tour is promising to be pretty good.

@Frank,I can believe that.
Btw,I dont think we will see McNulty for a while,in the Megazine at least.
I forgot to mention Chopper,but it wasnt really memorable.A lot of people(Garth Ennis included) claim it was a mistake bringing Chopper back after Song of the Surfer,and its really hard to argue with that.

Aaaand done with the first volume.Mcnulty was okay,but Mcree's artwork is pretty rough.Still,him teaming up with Max Normal is pretty cool
I read BCB in a later reprint,it still doesnt really evoke any emotions.Its just there.
Straightjacket Fits is over.That great.
-If somebody bites off a head of a batglider,the first place to look is Ozzy Osbourne block.
There is a mutant turtle named Kevin Eastman.
Obviously,humor wasnt a stong side of Dredds stories of the time.
And he also advertised Sega Mega Drive.That brings back some memories. :)
RR had Spooky Doo gang.I guess thats funny in stupid way.

A small update,up to issue #15,there is Raptaur,another story I forgot.I don't think I lost much there.
One episode of Heavy metal Dredd,that was bizarre.Al's baby and Red Razors are over,so is Armitage.But Middenface McNulty and Brit-Cit Babes are starting.Not sure if thats a good thing or a bad one.  :-\

Having finished Young Death,I have to say its just weird.After Necropolis Judge Death is living with miss Gunderson and telling his origin story to a journalist.And I cant say does that subtract from his horror or adds to it.I wouldnt say its really essential,but its worth the time.
Al's baby is a great comedy,and I do recommend it.This is just the first story.Its sequel was okay,but its kinda same thing all over again.Still,get the whole thing if you can.
As a whole,so far,Meg has been a bit of mixed bag.
AlexF,its a tough job,but somebodys got to do it.

For a while now,I have been something of a casual reader of both 2000AD and Megazine,so I thought to fill in some blanks and read the Judge Dredd Megazine from the start.Or at least try to.
Some 10 issues in and its a weird mix of things i read,didn't read and things I forgotten.
There is ofc,America,its a bit weird reading it in pieces.Other Dredd stories so far,Midnites Children and Black Widow,haven't really impressed me.
I liked Beyond Our Kenny,and I should really find the first part of it.Young Death,I haven't read it till now,and it has been pretty good so far.
Al's baby,another classic.Armitage is just starting,yet another one I liked.
I dont have a lot to comment on Red Razors,but Yeowells artwork looks pretty good.So there is that.
