Nice cover, might pull in a few more punters
Dredd: so Judge Giant and Anderson out the picture or is there a magic bullet? Great to see Osbourne getting a suitable place in a Future Brit-Cit. Art is amazing on this tale, the silhouettes and Blythe’s colour work a treat.
FTB: enjoying this change of pace for 2K, and fine storytelling and art, I feel if this merges with The Out we’d have Halo Jones!
The Order: no idea which side is which anymore or who is on who’s side and why. Giant robots appearing out of the blue would normally appeal to me but not this time.
The first two pages of Diaboliks had me thinking oh no, really? But the third restored my faith in the Grennie droid!
Six great but different artists involved, really is a bit of a showpiece prog.

Great stuff, yes those Greek gods were shits, and it's a truism that there are two sides to every story,

A great read and PJ really rising to the challenge, nice balance to the art: planes ships and hardware all well executed and the more cartoony element reduced possibly out of respect for the subject matter, but he's still able to have v recognisable characters, reactions and action, really one of his best bits of work I've seen.
Cracking story too, empathy and humour along with drama and a classic Ennis ending. The hard back has a lovely helf to it too, a quality production.

Saturday Prog and Megazine here in the Calhab wastes.
Dredd artwork is magnificent, a lit of familiar elements but a great ride!
Saving all the rest for a post exercise fireside immersion in Thargs world. Thank you mighty one!

Cover a nice Dredd, not setting the heather alit but good stuff.
Damage Report: go on read it, great stuff.
Dredd: We’ve lost Weather control and and world wide nukes are heating up, knowing what Ichabod has done, this is top notch Dredd with top notch art, loving Dredd’s visor when he finally appears.
SinDex: finally some sense, a fine episode with some well laid out spreads. Then it goes all shorty again.
FTB: promising ‘first’ episode, some good layering of the story, nice mashup of styles.
The Order, I must admit lost me years ago, so just along for the(train) ride.
Diaboliks: Great stuff, art cracking, story charging along, more please Tharg!

Got my hardcover and loved it, some of the pages are genius chiaroscuro works of art and an expert example of less is more, IF you know just where to take a line for a walk.
Highly recommended.

The Claw, Dollman and the Spider grabbed me, the rest left me a bit meh, agreed the Claw jokes were over egged and could have been stripped back a bit, but it was a fun ride.
Would love to see a darker ‘Constantine’ version of all three of these.

Great cover and given blackout Tuesday was the day I received mine, very apt, especially watching the protest s across the world. I can also understand why TMO will be nervous of this image and title going out this week.
Dredd is stunning, the art, the story and nod to the horse motif along that guest appearance, wonderful stuff.
Sin/Dex, oh what a cliff hanger, will they survive, tune in next week chums....
New World Order...Never really got this, I think it's the worms motivation that perplexes me, and their sidekicks too.
The new world order raises its head again in Futureshocks and very good it is to, so much RAW in one story, everything is under control
Diaboliks bookends well with Dredd, hopefully the Grennie droid will give this his nice light touch and take us all on a epic hurl, fingers crossed
Nice starscan by Cornwell, the lighting effort seen to draw one's eye to Old Stoney Face's lunchbox, Shirley shoom mistook!
