Just saw Dune part two and it was totally brilliant.

I've just seen a trailer for Alex Garland's new film Civil War, and it looks brilliant. He's writer and director. Out in Spring. Looking forward to seeing that.

I'm with IndigoPrime on the Tharg stories.

If Matt Smith remains editor for three more years, which seems likely, then he will have been Tharg for 25 of the prog's 50 years!

I'm very impressed with that cover by Alex Ronald; I hope Tharg gets him in a story soon.

I think I liked Dredd this week more than you did!

Thistlebone is good, I think this third series is the strongest of them.

In Deadworld I can't even remember who Jessica is. Maybe that's my own fault, although it has been four years since the last full series of this thrill. Still fantastic art though.

SPOILER: In Full Tilt Boogie, I'm not sure how Tee got out of that predicament, it feels a bit like "... and in a single bound he was free" territory to me. I like this series though so I'll just assume I'm being dense and go with it.

Four and a half out of five for me this week.

85 biologically (2146 minus 2061).

Born in 2066 at the artificially-advanced biological age of five.

Next prog's cover looks phenomenal!

It's out now.

It's a salutary lesson for Judge Beeny, that's for sure.

It was made by his production company, DNA Films.

This comment prompted me to look up DNA Films on Companies House, and I found that the director of DNA Films, Andrew MacDonald, founded a new company called 28 Years Later Ltd only last month. Since DNA Films also made 28 Days Later and 28 Weeks Later, this is a good sign.

Anyway, as has been mentioned upthread, a cranial exit wound in Dreddworld doesn't necessarily mean death.

Not in 1978, sure. But today, that would be pretty silly.

I do think it's a great pity to wipe out a very rare prominent female character (and POC) ... Remove Maitland and Beeny from the strip and there'd be almost no women and certainly none of note.

We used to have Judge Sanchez, whatever happened to her?

(Although I imagine it also made a sound. A squelchy one, probably.)

*exit wound

I mean, she's been shot through the forehead by a sniper.

She's certainly been shot in the head.

We can clearly see the exit sound at the back of her head. She's dead.
