So looking forward to this EE.

Very youthful looking face.

But the hands are a *dead* give away.

Hands of an ice-cold killer ;)

Excellent.

Cheers Amstor & Logan.

It is nice, isn't it?

Phew, when I saw the thread heading on this I thought they had produced a Bec and Kawl Extream Edition in some moment of insanity.

Wasn't the intention with the bio chips to get them new bodies once they returned home? Does this mean Dredd could potentially get a new young body all to himself, rather than having to use Rico's as part of that ever popular full body transplant theory?

Maybe the whole Rico thing is a complete red herring.

Was just sitting around having finally finished the Maggy and Hopey stories (600+ pages of Hernandez brother) wondering what I should do with my sorry hide, and ta-dah, reminded that I bought this a couple of hours ago.

I'm just getting into my drop capsule now...

I'm glad someone finally changed the thread title.
Before I opened the thread it, I thought it was going to be a prematurely collected Bec & Kawl Extreme...

Yeah, enjoyable and nice to have these stories at hand. I read it all but for cinnebar as I'll save that for another time.

Slight quibble, one caption at the end of the Rebel story was partly cut off.

I like the Dredd/Rogue one, it's a terrible idea that Wagner adds real conviction to. I've heard it discussed as workmanlike but I thought it was enjoyable.

Anyway I have the last two rogue books on order, so all I can do is sit and wait for the game.

'Pologies for bumping this old chestnut, but I posted this on the What comics are you reading thread and everyone ignored it, thought it might get a more responsive response over here?

Is there anyone else out there who already owns the Dredd/Friday story, Pray for war, First of the few (IMO the best ever stand alone Rogue story), the Ron Smith pin up poem, that one with the souther supply train and numerous reprints of Cinnabar, who has bought Ex Ed 15 and not missed the pint and packet of crisps they could have had instead?

(I'm going to end up buying it anyway, but I'm trying to justify the expense!)

House of Usher · 29 March, 2006, 07:47:01 PM

Ahhhhh, I get it now! "CLONE Gunman" Ha ha ha ha !

:D

Cthulouis · 29 March, 2006, 11:30:35 PM

Well, I bought this thee other day despite having read most of it before, and have found it very enjoyable.

One question though, that bit in Cinebba where the womans going on about him being a studd and stuff, trying to get him to say he loved her, was this a sub plot there that got edited out or something? It seems to get forgotten about all of a page later.

humm well to be honest i have only bought 2 EE's as they have beem mostly gobshite but the one with Bad City Blues was by far the best 3 really good storys reprinted and was worth the Grots as for those who mention Big Dave...

Hope this works (my first attempt at a link...)
This is (hopefully..) The Cover Prelim.
If (quite likely) it doesn't work, I'll post it directly....

Hmm, just read this in the shop and won't be splashing out my money on it, that's for sure.

Sorry Rufus you know I loves ya baby but this cover didn't do it for me.

Casualties wasn't as good as I'd remembered...and I remembered it being fairly poor.

All of the one-offs felt like filler. The diversion by Bagman in "Pray for War" and some of the stuff wih the Nort agent were the only times it even felt as though it was even vaguely peeping above the horizon.

Cinnebar is bloody genius, but I already own it twice.

+rufus+ · 02 April, 2006, 04:41:54 AM

Oh James.... it could've looked worse...

it was very bitsy and piecy. 'Pray for War' is a good one, as is Cinnebar (but like Dudley, I already own it)
