Find it here: http://www.guardian.co.uk/books/2012/feb/24/2000ad-35-future-comic

Prog / Prog 1692 - Inflamation Station

« on: 03 July, 2010, 10:25:11 AM »

Am I the first?  Woo

Dredd takes an interesting twist - Looks like Sinfield's for the Jump but where will that leave the election?

Red Seas keeps on rolling steadily on as Dancer looks for allies.

Damnation Station finishes this week.  Leaving us with more that a couple of questions.  Look forwards to it's return.  There's a short article from Molcher about it as well.

Savage continues to be mad as a bag of Badgers.

And Stront is still a work of genius.  And a familiar face from the small press makes a cameo.

Prog / Prog 1669 - A toast to London's Criminal Kingpin

« on: 23 January, 2010, 10:19:07 AM »

Thread bagged.  So there's some joy out of being up early on a Saturday

Cover is a glorious D'Izzy Sticklebak

Nice, if risque Droid Life

Dredd finds his dragon, or rather it finds him,   Stickleback starts to put together pieces of whats going on as does Ampney Crusic.  And things start to go very wrong in Dante's campaign.  There's a line in the narration that considering what happens at the end of the episode has a chill down my spine.

As for ABC Warriors, it seems that there is a direct correlation between the beauty of Langley's art and the insanity of Milll's scripts!

Over to you

Very nice steampunk meets rupert the bear via tintin and luther arkwright.

Most enjoyable!

Games / PS3 Plunge

« on: 19 August, 2009, 09:32:29 AM »

With the announcement of the PS3 Slim I'm going to take the Plunge and grab one as soon as is feasible (i.e. cash and availability willing)

However, what else do I need?  Second controller?  What games are a must have?

Help me Hive Mind!

Other Reviews / Casefile 13

« on: 29 July, 2009, 08:13:11 PM »

Just picked up Casefile #13 in Forbidden Planet.

Some good stuff, much of which I've not read.  And a heck of a lot of nods to what's coming soon.

Only complaint, my copy has a flipped page in Dead Juves Curve.

Happy New Year All

Spotter this over on The Guardian and thought it might make sense to point some informed minds at it.

Have at it

Megazine / Meg 277: Racing for her life

« on: 14 October, 2008, 10:50:37 PM »

No Meg thread yet?  Mine arrived Saturday but cause I was away only got around to reading it tonight.

Interesting end to Ratfink.  

Tank Girl features a special guest appearance by Dee Dee Ramone

Black Atlantic rumbles on

New Anderson with Boo on Art again.

And a couple of text pieces I've not read yet.

Bagged Graphic Novel is a Richard Elson centric piece with Lawcon and Word of the Law, both from the when I wasn't reading the meg so were of interest to me.

Next months novel should interest the Monarch.

Off Topic / Freaky Friday...

« on: 26 September, 2008, 03:24:29 PM »

No, not the film but weird occurrences

My Brother-in-Law's wife was due her first child next Thursday.  For some reason last night I decided to put a bottle of champagne we've had lying around for a while in the fridge.  My thinking was so that it would have plenty of time to chill before next week.

We got a call at 6:30 this morning that I'm now an uncle.  

I know it's just a coincidence, but still, unsettling.

Any one else?
