Okay I'll start with a positive before I get run out of town.
Its far too early to call but cos I love a good Tharg cover if we get a better cover this year I can't wait to see it. Bllody lovely!
Okay so here we go, if you want to have any respect you might mysteriously have for me left stop reading now... see I thought
Dredd was a bit disappointing... anyone still reading.... anyone...
Let me explain. The actual story was superb, I loved that it was as many predicted, but with a magnificent Wagner twist to turn it all a little on its head. Just glorious. 83.333% was wonderfully crafted BUT... here we go, 16.666% bugged me and that was page 2.
I'm sure if folks can be bothered and if anyone hasn't yet completely rejected my presence already there will be LOADS of examples to prove me wrong BUT Dredd calling rebelling Judges 'You gang of losers' just sounded awful and throw me off. Dredd's little exchange with Logan didn't work for me and Logan's reaction of suspending traitorous Judges seem odd... though it might be a measured reaction to control the response but read weird.... so yeah that page didn't work at all for me. Given how drop dead perfect its been to date that really stood out to me.
Skip Tracer had a pretty strong ending and I think this one will read better when read as one.We'll see.... eventually.
3riller Tooth and Nail.... I think I'm being dumb with that so Nail was the lad all along right.... did we know how he did that - was I just not playing attention?
Jaegir was pretty great but way to leave us hangin! Looking forward to this one returning.
Grey Area is literally just talking heads...
Yep
....which is a bit dull, ...
Nope.
Its a bloody masterclass. As Dabnett has shown before in Sinister Dexter, some folks can do talking heads, so folks can't and Dabnett's talkign heads are like David Byrne's talking head bloody magnificent and this is just wonderful.
Great Prog aside for 16.666% of Dredd (and 3riller) - oh and we got our 1cm back.
