The GreatA wonderful cover from Alex Ronald . . . whoa deja vu from my 2000ad review . . ..
A new Ewing/Willsher Dredd gets off to a great start.
Reaper continues well (if you like it as I do, otherwise it continues badly). And it's great to see more from the amazing Fay Dalton!
The GoodDemarco is pretty good.
The Unsure ofAngelic is a new story from Rennie and Carter. I love the art in this but I found the story a bit disjointed. It jumped around in time with the last part taking place 'Five days ago' - I wasn't sure if that was supposed to be 5 days from the start of the story, 5 days from the two weeks ago, 5 days from the current Dredd timeline, 5 days from 17th Jan 2015 (alright I knew it wasn't this). Additionally, I like the idea of a
Pa Angel story, which I assume this is, but it seemed to mess with the back story
(Link not being his son) without adding much. Hopefully my fears are unfounded and it will improve in coming weeks.
What I didn't likeThe Johnny Nemo article. It did the thing I hate in articles which is to just tell you what happens in stories. It seemed to some kind of unsure advert with lines like 'whether readers enjoy Nemo or not will ultimately depend on their tolerance for humour' which made me think of one of those backhanded compliments that managers put on reviews of people they don't really like. Anyway, I just thought it was not my cup of tea at all. The book looks great though.
And . . .The Floppy is Red Fang by Steve and Steve (Moore and Yeowell). I have not read this series before so that is nice. I will have a read of this later with a cup of Oolong tea and an organic ginger biscuit.
I am a bit concerned that Fleisher's Harlem Heroes part 1 is next week's floppy :'( I would have preferred some mroe Finn, or Time House, or anything.
