So good prog, only Thistlebone leaving a bad taste in the mouth.

The Quartz Massacre storyline. & Rogue walking out into the distance at the end. or something akin to a Mad Max movie. But I think the idea of disfigured villains now? Surely we've grown up a bit now.
You make a good point. Ugly and scarred = evil is incredibly clichéd at this stage of the game - Heath Ledger's Joker was possibly that trope's last great hurrah.

Mr Robinson on cover duties may be slightly ironic but only for those looking backwards.
Dredd; Better World
Okay, let's start with Mr Flint on art duties. Simple: wow! This is absolutely someone who is at the top of their game. Possibly someone this story deserves.
Williams and Wyatt on scripting duties. Well, there have been comments about the issues this story is dealing with. Most specifically the behaviour of a certain type of channel and presenter. How it influences practitioners ... "the law is impatioanl above all else".
Isn't that the point? Maitland is completely impartial. She follows the data. Her approach is predicated on data. Dredd neglects politics because his focus is on the law. Layers upon layers and then we get to Major Domo!
3Rillers: the English Astronaut
These are always a challenge.An extended Future Shock but can it work over 3 issues? Certainly you can't fault Helsby's artwork. (Unless you are being particularly anal about military uniforms of the '50s). Where is this going? Hard to tell from part 1 but certainly the idea of time anomalies is in play. Does that have implications for the present day? Good question, well posed, deserves an answer ...
Full Tile Boogie
Ocean's artwork is impressive, to be sure. In fact there is little if anything to criticise from that perspective. From a script point then: nope. This is laying out the challenges the crew face: an 'ancient regime' intent on exacting retribution, the implications of clonage (gosh, I've got "Friday" on my mind ... ) and all the political ramifications.
Now this is where Regened works to my mind. It take the sensibilities of modern mange, merges them through the punk mind-set of Tooth and then extrudes the most extreme aspects of SF (TBH I'm thinking of Heinlein right now but I also get a Reynolds' riff).
Enemy Earth. Hmmm, a. it of a Chris Carter moment here. So all of the events to date are predicated on the 'dinosaur killer' event of yore. Not a problem because that just laid the scene for all of the events to date. TLDR: things are seriously hotting up.
Thistlebone. Davis captures that seventies film-making sensibility that many of its intended audience will appreciate. Where are things going? Isn't that the question? Certainly there are plenty of questions. Isn't that the whole point though?
TBH this has proven to be a far stronger prog than many of late. Full Tilt Boogie is one of the stronger offerings from Regened and really does seem to capture the sensibilities of Tooth. 3fillers are always hit or miss. It's a challenge to work out whether they should have limited themselves to a FS or pushed the script to its limits. Two more weeks to see ...
Overall though, a far better offering than we've had of late.
