Books & Comics / Essential Judge Dredd Apocalypse War
« on: 13 January, 2021, 02:24:45 PM »
For the upcoming release of Essential Judge Dredd Apocalypse War I noticed that the collection is going to be in all colour. Now I never read the original run when it was first published. Was it then already all colour or just this first two pages of each episode?

Other Reviews / Armoured ‘ANNIHILATE!’ Gideon Book One
« on: 09 January, 2021, 02:31:56 PM »
This is one of those classics thrills which I always wanted to re-read but did not have access to the material. It is great news now that we will have this available in a digital format for the first time (I am also looking forward to the other digital first titles)
What really stood-out for me in Armoured Gideon is the amazing art of Simon Jacob. His art really carries the story which is also a quite an interesting premise. Armoured Gideon if you do not know is demon-slaying robot with an awesome vocabulary that consists out of one word “Annihilate”.
The digital version also contains the following shorts collected for the first time: ‘No, No, Nanette’ from 2000 AD Prog 722, ‘Starhavon’s Edge’ from the 1990 2000 AD Sci Fi Special and ‘Making Movies’ from the 1992 2000 AD Sci Fi Special.
So my question is why are you waiting to download it?

This category is for those using heroes these droids make that good strip extra special by adding their specific trade to it. We rarely give these droids any credit, so it is time that we honour these fine folks as well. These are the lettering and colourist droids; this is their category.

It is now time to cast your vote for your favourite short story that were either published in the prog, megazine or any of the glorious specials during 2020.
So, ground rules relating to which short stories are applicable or not:
- No Dredd short story is allowed since we will have a time to vote for our favourite lawman
- Only original stories are allowed no reprints
The below words were stolen from Colin so take it up with him if you do not like these or would prefer some other ones used.
