[Crusade]

Did we ever have a list of the 10 worst Judge Dredd comics of all time? Because I'm fairly sure Dredd vs Predator would be around that discussion.

The bottom ten would easily include Crusade and Purgatory/Inferno, both of which were written by Grant Morrison.

...which ties the two parts of this thread together nicely.

I think Purgatory was Millar on his own? Either way, your point stands  - they are terrible.

He's really really bad at this, eh?

The real thing will be on the Mashed Youtube channel tomorrow, meanwhile, 2000AD has posted a teaser on their Facebook page: https://fb.watch/gQBS4kuLDG/

Loving the John Woo-ness of that cover.

[Black Panther Wakanda Forever]

Black Panther Wakanda Forever - Great fun and actually very moving in places. It clocks in at nearly three hours though. It's not without its faults, but is still a superb movie. In a world where justice exists, Angela Bassett should have an Oscar nomination.

Barbarian - A genuine WTF did I just watch? movie. The best horror movie of the year. Best go in knowing nothing though.

THat's very impressive.

That's a great piece. Thanks for sharing.

cunk on britain.
it's truly terrifying.
more please!

The follow-up series, Cunk on Earth, arrived on the iPlayer a couple of weeks back. It is magnificent.

Damn. Kevin O'Neill.

Is it just going to be a re-issue, or might they update the perp cards to include some post-Apocalypse War Dredd villains, I wonder?

The info is in the link.

What's your take on it? Good game?

Yeah, it's a lot of fun. There's a great mechanic where to can drokk up the arrests by the other players. We used to play it as a wind-down after a night of RPGing.

Great stuff! I still have the original, but I'll probably get this anyway.

Thought it was awful to be honest. As soon as you engage your brain, it falls to bits. For example: the army on its way to Middle Earth from Numenor. How long did it take for them to be clearly in open water on the sea to disembark on wherever it was they landed? How did they even know where they were going? How did they even know what they were supposed to be facing? Where did they store all those horses for every single solider that came along? Why was it day time when they set off, and night time at their destination? If it was a distance thing, then how come they literally showed up just in time for a battle that probably only lasted a few hours when the location of the map indicates a distance of a few hundred miles or more? Did they have sat nav on the horses and did the horses have wings and engines attached? Or they just teleported because they read the script? Was the Elvin tower at the fort held together with chewing gum and duct tape for a single rope breaking to fell it? Why did the orcs just all march in single file straight into what would be potential ambush? Why did they abandon an obvious stronghold built for a siege and thought it was a better idea to hold up in a town in open plane that could be attacked from every direction, no fortification apart from a keep that could be burned or raised to the ground? How did Halbrand get in front of Galadriel and the dude she was chasing? How did the townsfolk not know they were fighting other townsfolk and realize it was a ruse?

It did look nice and dramatic in some shots, though. Suppose that's what counted.

Each one of your questions is easily answered with a modicum of thought, but I feel that would be a waste of everyone's time. Maybe best you just stop watching.

Yeah, that was an absolutely amazing episode. Galadriel kicks arse.

Am I the only one still watching? That latest episode was superb. I wasn't sure that the time jump would work, but it was quite brilliant.
