Again another very good episode. I agree with Dandontdare on how the security chief was handled. I found it quite peculiar that nobody cared what happened to her. So when something happens to one of the lead characters of the show it becomes a big cry-fest nobody gives damn about the rest.

Again, very good prog, cannot wait for the return of Kingmaker.
Cover – this feels like a retro 80s cover and it so cool, love it. It oozes of cover of the year
Dredd - Mister Wagner knows how to spin a tale and mister MacNeil know how to give the tale form and image. This was a great Dredd story. A lot predicted a certain outcome and Wagner delivered of a slight twist.
Skip Tracer – Although the final parts where quite adequate I found the middle part of the story to much of trying to add too much without really adding anything. This is one of those stories which I do read and enjoy when it is the prog but if it never returns, I will not miss it.
Grey Area – One thing I can say is that Abnett has mastered the art of telling a story with just dialogue and no action. This was for me a great introduction and the path to the next chapters.
Jaegir – Firstly I am very much disappointed that we again only get 6 parts and hopefully we do not have to wait another year for the next part. This was one of the highlights for me the last few weeks and Rennie has created a world within the Rogueverse that in many cases has surpassed the original story-line

When 2000ad was created its primary focus was sci-fi the fantasy element was added later on as well as the horror type of stories. With the merger of Tornado Black Hawk changed from a historic type of story to the more sci-fi related story. So historic wise 2000ad was sci-fi comic. I do not mind what type of story is published as long as it is a quality story(I still prefer sci-fi with fantasy a close second).

The last few episodes really got going in a positive direction. As mentioned by wedgeski the plot is moving on now.

Button Man although not really fitting into the main setup of 2000ad is one of the best strips that ever grazed the pages of the prog. I am glad that it never got ran in Toxic (their lost 2000ad fans gain)

Watched Captain Marvel as well. I can recommend to both movie to anyone that is either a Marvel or Sci-Fi fan. No need to know anything about the extended universe to enjoy the movie. The cat as already stated is the coolest.

I am not to familiar with his work but it is always sad to hear from someone who contributed to 2000AD that passed away.

« on: 08 March, 2019, 01:10:44 pm »So stoked to see that the next Brink is already being worked on according to 'Thrills of the future' in the latest Thrillmail - all that talk (by Dan Abnett as I recall - possibly badly) of the third story being a conclusion has gone - which the end of the last book strongly suggested - WAYHEY!
I think it was a case of the Brink being one of the most popular recent stories and why stop it when most people want more. I am glad that it will continue

« on: 06 March, 2019, 04:22:20 pm »I think that's unnecessarily rude and combative for literally no good reason.
(And whilst no one, least of all David, is going to hold up Soul Sisters as a timeless classic, I thought the Fiends of the Eastern Front follow-ups were really pretty good.)
I also enjoyed his take on Fiends when it was in the Meg.

Great cover and a very enjoyable prog. MacNeil/Blythe art on Dredd is just exquisite.
