Reviews are up with my review of 2000ad 1368 aviable for your enjoyment at

http://www.411mania.com/comics/reviews/article.php?reviews_id=2352.

where I let rip on Dead Men Walking after discovering that its not some unknown writing it but Bishop.

There's also a review of New X-men by myself and reviews of Uncanny, Batman, Sleeper and more.

Also another plea for help with the tourney-can you think of things that make 2000AD the better than the Flash of Johns/Kolins.

The I is for 'I can't remember the password to my other account' or Ian. One or the other.

A while ago John Smith gave an interview which showed off his Dredd vision, archived elsewhere on this site.  The quotes below are submitted without comment.   ;)


"[Dredd's world} is like a big toy box that's there for you to plunder. The real challenge is to introduce new elements, new story ideas, rather than just pilfering from what's already there."

"...it's my one big ambition to come up with a major league villain ... I remember disliking a lot of the stories during Garth's run because he just ended up rehashing all these old characters in the same sort of stock situation. That seems pretty pointless to me unless you can bring something new to it but it can obviously be a big temptation to fill-in writers."

"I think Siku's characters can be very inconsistent, as can his colouring, but when he puts his mind to it – especially in those panoramic nature scenes – he can do a pretty good job. I'm glad to see from his more recent stuff that he's improved a lot. At least now the characters look the same from panel to panel and Dredd isn't just this huge chin in a helmet any more..."
