Slightly off-topic, but that REVENGE you see in what is the first page of that particular story is in fact the story title, and not "Four Dark Judges" as some c***^* once came up with and which, sadly, appears to have stuck. Oh well.

^*Frank is in fact brilliant and an integral part of this board.

Bolland's spent the last thirty years as a cover artist

One way around that would be for someone to write a six-panel Judge Dredd story which he can then draw as six full pages.

If seeing McMahon's art is the sort of thing that gets you excited, then I'd have thought that Tharg announcing it in advance would spoil the surprise and defeat the object.

...the gun laying on the floor was the same as the ones they were all using on the first page, no?

No, it was one of the robots' guns. Look again and only three of the four robots are armed.

Get bionic eyes.

I liked Russell Fox! Especially on that Armitage special about the haunted house.

As long as you don't read the last story in the first volume before the first story in the second...

It doesn't matter if you do. They don't have to be read in order.

Buy a magnifying glass. If you're not reading Dominion you are missing out.

(Grey Area) has outstayed its original premise and is now a Dirty Dozen with aliens.

I don't think it's always a bad thing when a series moves on from its roots and does something new. Sometimes it works well, and breathes new life into a series which would otherwise have either ended or overstayed its welcome.

Imagine if Nikolai Dante without Tsar Wars. Would it still have been as good?

Imagine if Dredd had never left the streets -- we'd never have had The Cursed Earth, the Judge Child, or Tour of Duty. Imagine if every Dredd story had to be a police procedural story.

So I'm quite happy to see Grey Area tread new ground. And it's not as if it's for the first time.

What was the spoiler in Shamballa?

Can't make it out, what does it say?

 Wolfie Smith was boring. It made Tharg's list of the 16 worst strips to appear in 2000AD.

Then you've been missing out.

[NOT]

NOT The Mind of Wolfie Smith please.

But otherwise, yes -- although there is nothing wrong with them doing a mix of stuff from 2000AD and stuff from other comics. Not every Megazine was reading the prog over five years ago.

Incidentally, does anyone know if the Scream and Misty special is out today or do we have to wait til Wednesday? There's an advert for it in this prog, but of course subscribers get it early. But the special might not be published on the usual weekly schedule.
