Lack of love for the bundled "floppies"?

[Jacqusie]

I enjoyed The Vort for what it was - a bloody good story... then they had to ruin it and it be about Lob... which I cannot read to save my life...

[Dodsy]

Slightly off topic but is there any word of is Si intends to finish Lobster at any point?

I asked him about that a couple of years ago now (gulp is it really that long ago) and he said he'd love to as he was very conscious that he rather left us all dangling. Alas at that point he couldn't give any idea of when as he was so busy writing for the American market.

So we're best to hope that he starts to bomb terribly over there and a broken man he has to come crawling back to Tharg begging him to have mercy and take him back on board...

... what how is that selfish?

Given the number of folk on CBR who want Spurrier to be given the keys to the X-kingdom, now that Bendis is moving on, I wouldn't hold my breath. (Though I reckon it'll go to Remender.)

I'm hoping for Al Ewing, or the return of Kieron Gillen. Or both.

Gillen I'd be more than happy with. Haven't enjoyed Al's Avengers work as much as I'd hoped, though there've been highlights - I find there's a slightly arch quality to his Marvel writing that, to me, suits 2000AD better than it does Big Two titles.

[Theblazeuk]

Has Kieron ever done owt for Tharg?

[Link Prime]

Unfortunately, never.

And Greg- I take your point about Ewing. I did read a couples of issue of his Avengers stuff, and didn't really like it.
But I chalked that down to a general dislike of The Avengers / current Marvel than anything else.

He could be good- nay great, on an X title.

[IndigoPrime]

So next month's floppy is... Harlem Heroes, volume 2. Man, what did we all do to piss Tharg off so much? *resolves not to complain so much about sexy ostriches next time it's in the Meg* *maybe*

[ZenArcade]

My reservations about the usefulness of the floppies is compounded: unless they print Junker! Z scurries off....

[Dandontdare]

I've been surprised by how often a strip I remember as being awful isn't actually too bad when revisited through the floppies.

I have to report that Harlem Heroes (redux) is not one of them.

[robert_ellis]

It's great to see the Steve Dillon layouts even if the inking doesn't reproduce too well shrunk down on Harlem Heroes. I'm all for a Junker reprint - it's daft and a throwback with lovely art. And a good reminder from tharg of how amazing the prog is NOW.

[Zenith 666]

Universal soldier and Kelly's eye for Brett seeing as neither have been reprinted.

[I, Cosh]

Remember quite enjoying Universal Soldier, but wasn't that Will Simpson?

[Zenith 666]

Will Simpson did the original series.
