Quote from: JohnCKirk on 22 April, 2024, 09:07:14 PMDo you read all issues in landscape mode, or switch between portrait and landscape?

I read portrait mode and when we have a double page I just swing to landscape mode. I do not have a problem reading the prog/meg itself. I also download the CBZ to my computer for easy access afterwards.

I am reading the prog and meg via my iPad as well. I do not experience the same problems.

Try the following:
1. Go to Account
2. I have under the Reading settings: Page Animation, Display side by side and Prevent Screen Timeout ticked

My problem with the app is more the continuous time-outs I get and how it refresh the content. The reading part I am fine with but the app behaves poorly slow when content is available were you have to close and re-open the app to start your downloads

Funt how do you set Adobe Reader to view PDF versions in comic "style". I am also using CDisplayEx which I can set the view however I want to see the pages.

A good read. I like his work especially the diversity in his stories. His first few stories were very similar structured but as he grew into the character or rather the world he added many more nuances to his storytelling. I especially loved his Megatropolis and his One-eyed Jack storyline. For some reason I am not as deeply invested in his Mega-City 2099. One thing for me is still missing on his resume and that is a Dredd mega-epic.

The meg for currently is on a bit of a low. I do see that next issue Dreadnoughts returns, so yes this at least is awesome news. The meg is still very much meh most strips are just average even Devlin. I really liked Kots take on Devlin but the last few stories just felt bland.

The Dredd story I enjoyed and did put a few smiles on my face (I needed something to laugh at since in todays age you are not allowed to challenge your work colleague to a sword duel anymore). This is one of those Dredd stories where as you read you start getting the picture of an innocent question becomes a destructive event with deaths and unnecessary arrests. Dark satire at is best.

The other highlight for me was PJ's art on Devlin. I must say that I felt this was his best work for either the prog or meg. Just brilliant but pity about the script itself.

A very good prog.

Dredd – This is all about survival. Still all-action without knowing anything about Dredd's secret mission. Enjoying the Shako moments really liking the art.

Boogie – This arc was quite different from the first one where we had long spells focusing on the world rather than being too wordy. Some interesting revelations and hopefully the next book is only the end of this arc rather than this interesting world.

Aquila – The first chapter starts of with some great action from Goddard. Great that this is back, and it looks like we will be in for a wild ride.

Prime – I am just looking at the pretty pictures as the words are just flowing off like water on a duck's back.

Vex – Another new character is introduced, and the world building continues. Great art, awesome story just really like this strange alien world.
