I am not against the idea of the regen prog, but I would rather have it as a separate special. The biggest problem as with the previous regen prog was the scheduling.
 
Hopefully this is a success and might see a release of such a publication.

It was one of those progs where I never felt connected to it. I cannot say what was missing it is just a case that it was not as enjoyable as the preceding progs. The Cadet Dredd story was the best by far.

5 out of 5

Dredd – A very good self-contained story with some great Bolland-like art by Tom Foster. 

Brink – A more emotional Filled ending to the current storyline. Cannot wait for Book 5. Brink is certainly one of AD’s best stories ever.

Zaucer – The real villain of the story has now come to the foreground. McCarty continues to thrill us with his art.

Proteus Vex – The story is getting some serious momentum and ends with an interesting twist at the end.

Feral and Foe – Should have been the highlight of the prog but the lettering made the whole story a stop-start affair.

I see that Chimpksy will make a return in a five part story (by Niemand and PJ Holden). Chimpksy was one off the best one-off Dredd stories the last few years (prog 2131). Looking forward to this

I also think the scheduling could have been done more like a natural break rather than a stop-gap release.  Now we must wait two weeks to get most likely the final two episodes of Vex, Feral and Zaucer.

I'm in the 'Regened should be a special' camp myself.  Don't get me wrong, I applaud the idea and there were some reasonable strips last time.  I just feel that it is a bit of a missed opportunity.  At the end of the day though, most of us here would be buying it anyway. 

I am in the same camp and would have bought the specials.

I am enjoying it so far, the pace is just  a little bit slow. At least the last minutes of ep 4 produced some interesting turn of events.

The Dredd story felt a little disjointed between the episodes and could benefited from an extra episode. Overall still a satisfactory Dredd tale.

Good news that the next Brink book is in the works.

Good prog yet again
