Its been ages since we did this and I'm no longer under house arrest so hows about a meet up.

My hopes for this evening are that Proudhuff & Buttonman can fight to the death Star Trek style but I'll settle for mildly drunk and a kebab.

Stick yer names up and if there's enough interest we can sort something out, if not I'm gonna go eat worms.

What no love for this sci fi epic? Im playing through the first one again just to get in the mood for Friday. Some top notch reviews coming in and I managed to bag the free dlc yesterday.

and there should be more alien intercourse.

I am so hyped for this its kinda like being a wee kid again.

As the resident comic geek in my group of friends I'm the one who always gets hit with stupid questions when a film comes out or there's some article in the papers.

But one of them has asked something which is outside of my experience and went something like the following....

Q - Are there any Star Wars comics?
A - Aye there's hundreds
Q - Where would be a good place to start for my kid?
A - Erm don't know.
Q - Can you get them in German?
A - Erm probably.

The German part isn't terribly important but for a 7 year old kid does anyone know a good starting point? Any decent GN's?

Please don't let me down folks as my geek kudos is at risk here.


Cheers!

Anyone else reading this? I was recommended it by an employee of Forbidden Planet as and I quote "Its the only comic I've read with stump fucking in it".   I bought the first 3 issues there and then.

Its an end of the world type affair by Garth Ennis, people start getting scabby crosses on their face and then turn into depraved maniacs. What happens next is seriously screwed up and not for the squeamish.

I rather like it.

Hes doing a signing at Glagow Borders at 1.30pm on 14th March if anyone is interested. I might take my tatty copy of Watchmen along.

It was the best thing on Ataris ill conceived toilet lid the Jaguar. I am    about this.

Wa-hoo bagged first of the noo year.
But I aint read it yet.
Colin Wilson collection don't have enough Wagner Dredd for my liking.
Al Ewing on Dredd
Article on Watchmen
Letters page
And due to the art I might just go back and read Tank Girl.

over tae Ewe...

Anyone else pick this up? Its got The Killing Joke (natch) newly coloured by Bolland , sketches and an extra 8 page story written & drawn by Bolland.

The pages seem to be in a larger format and are all wrapped up as a lovely hardback edition.

I think I like it rather more than is healthy and I aint even read it yet.

Just to let you you know I'm not fishing for sympathy, this is merely and observation.

I'm generally quite and angry,stressed out kinda guy but usually bottle it all up until I eventually lose the plot.

The last month has been incredibly stressful as I will set out below...

Me & Mrs have a new baby boy as well as the 3 year old son so no sleep
We moved house and only got the mortgage sorted 2 days before we moved out
1 day before we moved out discover that our buyers mortgage fell through and we have no cash
2 mortgages and a bridging loan later we actually move
Mum taken into hospital with a mystery illness. Shes seen everyone and they still don't have a clue what's going on.
Wife is told she's on Beta blockers until she can have a heart operation

And yet I cant remember a time when I've been calmer. I think my stress levels peaked and some kind of defence mechanism has kicked in to stop me going on a killing spree.

TBH I'm really surprised at how I'm reacting and so is the Mrs. Past experience tells me I should be gnashing teeth and blowing a gasket.

Is this normal? Anyone else experienced anything like it?

Ok so I'm trying to toilet train the boy at the moment. Its now so frustrating that we've resorted to bribery with one of those reward charts. I get in last night and the Mrs has her newly made chart pinned up and says "what do you think?".

Now I could have said I like the drawings or nice use of glitter but instead being the great husband I am went for "That's wrong".

So knowing this board settle a mild dispute and for a bit of a laugh tell me which one below is correct...

Adams star chart
Adam's star chart
Adams' star chart
Adams's star chart
None of the above, go back to school the pair of you.

Any other mistakes on this post can also be pointed out cos thats ow you learn fings innit.

Sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee-it!

Cant believe no one else has started this. I just watched ep 7 last night.

Its still great if a tad over the top.

No one else been reading this? The final issues out and after reading it I don't really know what to think. Did I like it? don't know

The ends been dragged out for so long now and my memory isn't what it used to be.

All my gears boxed up so I cannae even start a re-read to find out.

Any opinions?

I was thinking today that thanks to this site I've encountered entertainment that I might have missed otherwise. Im in a bit of a mellow mood so here's a wee rundown of thanks. You all know who you are...

China Mieville - Never heard of this writer but just finished a book of short stories (Looking for Jake) which even had a comic tale illustrated by Liam Sharp. I will now pick up one of his books as I really enjoyed these.

The Wire - Maybe the best TV show ever and folk on here raving about it made me watch, superb.

Preacher - I'd only read the 1st book but have now read the lot, dark and funny. Falls away at the end mind.

Urban Dead - I was addicted to this game for about 2 months.

Helter Skelter - Well I didn't say it was all good entertainment did I? Actually enjoyed this more than I thought I would after the ripping it copped on here.

So anyone else's dull life been enriched thanks to this here old web thingummy?

Quick question. Whats happened to Fear, Fire & Mortis? At a guess I imagine they are banged up but all the Death stories I've read recent he makes no mention of them. Are they deid?

Taken from CVG...

The BBFC has rejected Manhunt 2 on PS2 and Wii, the ratings board has revealed, meaning that the sequel "cannot be legally supplied anywhere in the UK".


This was getting some good reviews too.

Tried to put this on YouTube thread but poota wont let me.

Me no know how do links so...

Quite funny.

Right then, using the 2000AD Celebration as a cover for my escalating drink problem and inspired by the other thread who wants to meet up?

We can argue over the wheres and whens later if enough people show an interest?


Well?

Just in case anyones desperate for one but left it too late larger branches of Tesco are selling them at midnight tonight on a first come,first served basis.

I just got the final part of 7 Soldiers and thought I'd let people know as its been delayed for so long now.

I'm looking forward to reading the entire run as I've been saving them.

Hope its not rubbish.

Hi All,
I've asked before but now I'm starting to think I missed this. Did the final issue ever come out (7 soldiers #1) or is it just very, very late?

Cheers.
