Post by: JUDGE BURNS on 05 January, 2013, 12:29:35 PM
Hey  thats 2 weeks running am first with the latest prog news. :D

Funny , tongue in cheek frontcover by Simon Davis of Ampney and a martian ambassador.

Dredd:  just like to commend on Peter Doherty SUPERB art. I have always liked his attention to detail.

Red Seas:  plodding along nicely.

Savage.   great centre fold pic( ooerr)  of the Hammerstein robots in action.

Ampney and Strontium Dog are okay , I will read them when they are complete.

Overeall   8/10

You have to remember Public schoolboy isn't just Tory. Many Labour piers are of the same ilk who pretend they have our best interests at heart. Many people seem to forget or don't realise this. But lets just leave that for the political thread.

Well we are in almost as good a form as last week. Everything continues pretty much as you were and its all good stuff. Not really a duff note in the lot.

One thing of note to me is the comparison between the two magnificent splashes this week. Both are really good, but were as Patrick Goddard seems to be, deservedly, hailed by all, Steve Yeowell can come into flak from some quarters, wonky thinking quarters it has to be said, but still. Now on the surface the Goddard Savage splash seems to be the 'winner' (clearly its not really a competition  but work with me here), its got the detail, its got the 'cool' factor, loads of chuffin' robots is indeed cool enough. For me however the Yeowell piece that takes the day. It carries (no pun intended) such a an epic scope in the way the Goddard one doesn't quite manage as well. Its simpler but all the more for it. Its powerful and potent its simply magnificent and you feel the weight bearing down on those giants and what giants they are. Its a great example of why Yeowell is such a magnificent artist, he knows how much to use or not use, what needs to be shown to convey any number of things perfectly. Who cares if sometimes he lacks 'detail', backgrounds or loads of little lines. What he places on the page, however minimal sometimes, is just perfect, its efficient, he can be one of the Hemingways of comic art. His work has a confidence not to get littered and distracted. Its just magnificent.

Anyway meandering asides apart great Prog.

A strangely fine prog, the total being more than the sum of its parts,where else would you get megacity, liverpool, hell, martians and muties all in one go?

Artwork and stories all doing what they should.  Looking forward to next weeks already.

Its a great cover, but I find it a bit weird the way it almost obliterates the logo. I'm guessing the 2 from the smaller logo, the circles around the heads and the surviving '0' of the big logo are meant to make up 2000ad but doesn't quite work for me. Shame as the painting itself is glorious.

Yeah, the logo covering is a bit odd - would have been cool to have the circles transparent and magnifying the logo behind, also made a bit more sense with the monocles gag...

Although Ampney's the only one who's actually wearing one isn't he?

That said, they'd more likely be collaborators with the Volgans than resistance fighters. There would be more money in that and less chance of getting shot.

Really good Prog. Apart from the aforementioned panel in Savage making me a little bit sick in my mouth, and an apparently outdated reference to cordite in Judge Dredd, it's really firing on all cylinders. Ampney Crucis Investigates was my top thrill this Prog: a really novel twist on H.G. Wells' Martian landings.

Would also explain why none of the resident ballistics experts have flagged the unlikely cordite-smelling in Dredd, which is the first thing I expected to see here:
no-one's used it since around WWII (http://guns.wikia.com/wiki/Cordite). Quite a common writer's mistake, apparently.

Shame because just prior to reading that panel I'd just begun to marvel at how skillfully the current Dredd strip ties into and evokes various key elements of the DREDD film, eg the verbal Slo-Mo "[spoiler]in the aftermath of a gunfight, the senses are still acute[/spoiler]", while also being its own thing. Just took me out of it mid-marvel.

Personally I blame Nick Cave (http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=yTSpvCV34Ok#t=650s).

Excellent prog. So good to get it back in my hands.

Dredd and Savage were the standouts for me. Morrisson's a great writer, and this is a beautifully written setup with a sweet cliffhanger. I wish he'd write more Dredd.

Savage is the most radical thing in the comic, which is amazing considering how long Pat Mills has been doing this. His passion still burns, where other veteran writers have mellowed and tired. There's a contemporary edge and energy to his best work which is a vital part of 2000ad, for me. Our generation is characterised by irony, or simply taking the piss - and Pat's got the balls to be earnest. To be serious. What makes it work here is the juxtaposition with [spoiler]an awesome robot invasion blasting their way into Liverpool, Cardiff, and Glasgow. Fantastic imagery throughout - with the 'Kil Dem Crew' and 'Bullingdon Boys' streetfighting and Charles and Diana 'praying for liberation' from Canada. Awesome! 
[/spoiler]

Hmmm one man's 'mellowed and tired' is another man's matured and developed.

Cover: I love Simon Davis's painted artwork. But like somebody else who posted earlier, found the two "halos" blocking the logo a strange design layout. Didn't work for me. Fairly confident that this year we'll see better covers than this.

Dredd: [spoiler]I know the corrupt cynical cop vs. straight guy is a cinema archetype, and we all knew that Dredd wouldn't be taken by surprise.[/spoiler] But I'm enjoying this story and the artwork.

Red Seas: Can't wait for this story to finish so I can say "Good riddance!"

Savage: I couldn't help comparing the two black and white stories. I read Colin_YNWA's post earlier on comparing Yeowell's art with Goddard's. He made some good points about the skill of simplicity and I know sometimes "less is more" in comic art. But it looks more like laziness to me. Goddard seems to put more effort into illustrating the story to me. In comparing the two double-page spreads, I prefer Goddard's.

Ampney Crucis: As somebody who has only returned as a regular subscriber to 2000AD in 2011 after a long absence, I didn't like my first taste of an Ampney Crucis story (though I loved the artwork!). TBH I was a little baffled. So I wasn't looking forward to his return, but I've been pleasantly surprised by this story. It's my second favourite after Dredd this week.

Strontium Dog: I'm sorry, but I switched off a little reading this. I find the pacing a little too slow and a nasty voice in my head goes "Same old. Same old." But Alpha is such an iconic character that I'm prepared to persevere...

Goddard is technically good. But I find his style a tad uninteresting. Unlike, say, Yowell. Who, while maybe not at the top of his game is always drawing interesting things to look at.
Title: Re: prog 1814 the martian monocles
Post by: Hawkmumbler on 09 January, 2013, 04:43:57 PM
I feel like breaking the mould a bit, so while on the topic of art here's how I see it.

Dredd: I like Doherty's style, just not when it's bright like this. His dark 'Hills Have Eyes' style art for Ratfink was much betterm very moodey. Not top work here then alas.

Savage: Freakin LOVE Goddard on this, and everything really. That's one lovely torn apart BlackBlood, strangely satisfying to look at.

Red Seas: Yeowell is a bit bland for my taste. Looking at his stuff on Zenith, there was shadding and all that, yet here's it a bit TO minimal. A bit boring TBH.

Crucis: Simon Davis. When are we going to crown him one of the lesser god's of comic boo artistry?

Strontium Dog: Am I the only one who feels the super squierl isn't on top form here? Feel's a bit sloppy in comparison to his previous few works (The project, Durham Red, Abjudicators etc).

I assumed it was deliberate. A corruption of mutie and gypsy, as they were travellers.

I was very surprised to find myself interested by and engaged in Savage for the first time in years. The fatalism/death wish stuff in the middle of the episode gave me hope that we might be heading for an actual ending of sorts. I'm not just being catty there, a satisfying ending to Savages one-man war would actually be something worth reading. Although there are, of course, all sorts of possibilities for stories about someone like him trying to find a place in the world after the bombs have stopped so it probably wont happen.

See I think there's potential for at least one series in that. I can see Pat Mills coming up with something pretty sinister and intriguing about how the government(s) deal with this man who they've used to led a rebellion in a time well they are trying to re-establish the status quo.

Programme 1814

Judge Dredd/ Hellers Last Stand Part 2; Really enjoyable stuff! I'm loving Peter Doherty's outstanding artwork. His almost watercolour style is quite reminiscent of Guy Davis' work. The opening pages with Judge Heller's ricochet shot cockup was really funny - as was his attempt at trying to cover up for it. Last page was superb; nothing stays hidden from Dredd...or does it? Looking forward to the next instalment.

Red Seas Part 3; I'm really enjoying this strip. The whole set up for me at least is quite intriguing. Theres some nice touch in the artwork, and the fact the devils triangle is outside the rule of time and we see all manner of oddity such as dinosaurs and fighter planes in the same place, is fascinating. The two page spread of the giants holding up the earth was superb, maybe not as awesome as the Kraken shot in Prog 2013, but still worthy of mention. And Yeowell's artwork is great.

Savage/ Rise Like Lions Part 3; unfortunately this right here for me is the weakest strip. I just cannot get into it, regardless of Goddard's brilliant black and white art. His two page spread of the Hammersteins wreaking the fury of grud was outstanding though.

Ampney Crucis Part 3; another great strip. Simon Davis is doing a stellar job on art duties and this week is the same. The opening to this was great, as was our protogonists meeting with the Martian ambassador. But all is not as cosy as it seems....

Strontium Dog/ Mutant Spring Part 3; its coming along nicely. Great to see Middenface back in the mix.

All in all a strong Prog. In terms of favourite; its gotta be Judge Dredd followed Red Seas and Ampney, with SD and Savage at the end. By the way the cover by Davis is magnificent. So far the best of the new year, although we don't have much to contend with at this time!

All in all, I liked the prog. I think SD was the weakest though, the storyline is slow starting there with what ever we'll see out of "Mutant Spring. Hopefully that'll pick up some steam later. I liked the two page spread on Savage. Ampney Crucis was nice to look at (the style matches with the surreal mood imo) and I'm already interested in seeing where it goes. Its presence on the prog's cover was also good.

I like the Dredd strip so far, I was amused how he already knew what Heller was aiming to do.

Since I'm a new subscriber I'm unfamiliar with Red Seas' past events, but it is an interesting one. I liked the shot of the giants in there too like Mabs mentioned.

A right stonking good read was Prog 1814,  :thumbsup:

Bought, this week from WH Smiths, who now are stocking it after not doing so for yonks.
Dredd is the icing on the cake this week. Its kinda nice to read a relatively simple Dredd tale after last years big epics. Especially one that feature just lovely art. Good stuff!
Ampney Crucis, a new discovery for me, is fast becoming a fave as well. Savage goes up a notch after last weeks slightly flat installment, with Red Seas and Stronty (both good!) bringing up the rear.
Quite liking how a lot of the prog is in Black n White at the moment. A bit of an old school vibe to it.

Any other overseas subscribers still waiting for this Prog?  I got 1815, but still no sign of this one *and I seem to have had a few non-arrivals in the months leading up to Christmas - all fixed by the lovely Denise but still a bit annoying).

I'm not overseas but mine turned up yesterday - five days after prog 1815. I caved in and bought a copy last Saturday rather than calling for a replacement because that always arrives at the same time as the original. Our local postal service has just become totally fucking random.
