Sounds good to me!  Does the character on the cover look familiar to anyone, or is it just me?

[Mike Carroll]

[Conexus]

I think that's the point (re: PJ) if you are aware and you're joking, there's a use for winking smilies you know

[Byron Virgo]

"aboot"?!

What are you, Canadian or something?

[The Amstor Computer]

Heh... very, very cool preview. Cheers, Alan!

(BTW - nice to see my guess about Zancudo wasn't too far off the mark. For anyone who's interested, Google the name :-) )

> there's a use for winking smilies you know
This is true! I forgot to put one in!

I'm just hoping that Dredd DOESN'T manage to bring PJ Maybe to justice "once and for all" - he's great adversary (right up there with Judge Death, Chopper and Mean Machine), so killing him off would be a bad move.

[Funt Solo]

I don't mean to be a troll (but I am, so I'll carry on):  why isn't this in the SPOILERS section?

[Oddboy]

...because it's "News"

You should all know by now how the HYPE OF THARG works... if you want it to be a surprise then don't listen to what Tharg tells you.

[Noisybast]

Yay! Carlos back on Dredd!
