As much as I like Kingdom as it is, I concur with Gordon Rennie's comments on Rogue Trooper when he revisited the series and talked about wanting to recreate classic WWII battles on a huge, SF scale. Those comments were telling in themselves, because they focus on everything except the character, who, frankly, is a bit dull.
There will be 2000 AD magnets bagged with the issue - just not the ones we would have wanted...
i'm still confused as to what the ones you wanted were? 3D ones perhaps?
We sent them a vast selection of classic images to use, painstakingly collected after approval was passed by Tharg himself. They somehow managed to use hardly any, and what they did get printed up...god only knows where they got those images from.
Nobody came back to us for approval which is very dissapointing; another opportunity missed.
QuoteCan the first person to actually see it please let us know what the contents are in general?
I might be reviewing it for 2000AD Review (as well as the Anderson Psi-Files 01, if it's not already been done). The Restricted Files 01 should be arriving tomorrow AM.
Then your missing both a great Dreddism and that voice when in the I Love Judge Dredd audio he gets asked how he feels re-meeting a citizen he arrested 20 years earlier:
"Underwhelmed."
(I know it's not particularly original, but it's the way he tells 'em!)
Nope - that had the desired effect!
HdE, the voice of Dredd in the Dredd v Death video game is ALSO the voice of Dredd (and Wulf Sternhammer) in the Twoth audios from Big Finish. Toby Longworth. I think it was Pete Well's? entry in the advent calender thread where he reprises the role.
He really IS Dredd for me. I doubt anybody else can suppplant his voice in my mind.....
Ah! Thanks for that! Interesting bit of info. I've never been one for audio stories, so I wouldn't have known if you hadn't said.
We have two seperate GN lines, one of which is specifically for the US mass market.
I know these things are neither Stront nor Dredd "CANON" to use the dreaded term, but in the (excellent) Dredd audio "Preemptive Revenge" (set on the day after Judgement Day) Johnny Alpha (played by Simon Pegg) says that it's never exactly clear who fired the first missile that devestated what would become New Britain (and give rise to the strontium showers that would make Johnny a mutant) but it's thought it MIGHT have come from one of the Mega-Cities......
Which adds a whole OTHER spin to Dredd's actions.....
Personally I object to St George being our patron saint.
The reason being that "he " probably didn't exist... and even if he did .., he has absolutly no connection to England. I say that if your still going to have a patron stain then they should at least meet the qualifications of
1/ existing.
2/ a strong connection to the country who has adpoted him/her.
That isn't too much to ask, is it?
