Forthcoming Thrills 2017

[The Adventurer]

I do like James Robinson.

I was going to say its cool to see an American comic writer featured in 2000 AD, but then I checked his wiki and realized Robinson has been a Brit all along! Who, much like Warren Ellis, Neil Gaiman, and Simon Furman, managed to break into US comics without 2000 AD credits under their belts. Very cool!

I'm curious if this new Rogue Trooper will be its own self contained thing, or play into what's going on in Hunted. I suspect the former, since the latter is pretty clearly Rennie's thing.

For those playing at home, that's Ellis (1 episode), Gaiman (5) and Furman (11).

Yes, I'm always surprised Ellis didn't write more for 2000AD, I always thought of him as another ex-2000AD writer, before realising he hardly ever actually wrote anything for the GG.

Not to backtrack and split semantics too much, I guess I mean the Prog didn't necessarily make them names in comics before heading to America. Ex, Morrison/Ennis/Millar/Milligan/Moore/Grant/others.

You're dead right Adventurer, was just funnin' ya.

Didn't Ian Edgington also do this and he's in fact that unique example of someone breaking America without 2000ad, then being pouched by Tharg. A concelation goal but there none the less!

It came up the other day, that and whether Rogue was a product with a limited lifespan, constantly being fixed up by Bagman to counter him running past his warranty.

That was the gist of Rennie's original run - one of the gene genies and the GI's CO trying to find Rogue before his lifespan wore out, given he'd not been designed to be out in the field on his own for so long.

Cheers, thought it rang a bell.

Still waiting on that Kieron Gillen sci-fi epic.

Interesting title on Amazon UK: The Technology of Rogue Trooper: Can we create a Genetic Infantryman today.

Apologies for skimming this mighty thread (as my answer might already lie within), but does anyone know if the Mills/Bisley Joe Pineapples strip is still happening?

On the latest 2000ad Thrillcast, Bisley swears blind he's going to start it soon. Pat Mills laughs in the manner of a man who's heard that one before, describing Bisley as "very convincing":

Argh!!

Many thanks, Frank - I'll give up waiting for it...!

After the cover of prog 1800 I wouldn't care if Bisley never returned to the prog again. Get another artist to do it.

Get SMS to do it.

That would somewhat hugely miss the point of writing a Joe Pineapples story for Bisley to do.
