I clambered aboard the 2000AD mother-ship a few years back when my life long passion for the superhero genre died a death. I know a load of folk on here read across a very wide cross section of genres but I am interested in firming up my perceptions of how many folk still dig their spandex and how many attach themselves more exclusively to 2000AD precisely because it offers an alternative?

Mostly entirely 2000 AD and some select indies/alt titles for me: Usagi Yojimbo, almost anything related to Hellboy, Atomic Robo, Saga. Then again, I grew up on British comics—first humour titles and then 2000 AD. That's my comics grounding, not superheroes. When I did get a Spider-Man or a Batman as a kid, it didn't really compare to Judge Dredd, Nemesis and Strontium Dog. Today, I still feel much the same way. I have a very small number of superhero titles, but I've not really read any that wowed me. I did enjoy the Ultimates line for a while, but that rapidly went downhill, with dodgy art and some slothful pacing.

Indigo I recently renewed a friendship with a childhood chum-we both loved all things Brit-Cit comic wise but then I departed for spandex and Americana and our friendship waned as well.

Meeting him for coffee tomorrow. I now regard him as superior in most ways to myself.

Thrill Power - tongue in cheek?

How very dare you!

I'm so, so sorry (said in best Doctor Who voice).

Apologies to the forum.

House hunting-something smaller freeing funds for a sub.

Thank you all for your understanding and support, I am truly thankful to be part of such an exemplary community - so win, lose or draw come Monday morning, I'm already a winner.

I'll keep you posted!

I have only been on here sporadically of late Shark but like everyone else has said, the best of luck fella.

My wife always respects my reading space-she just smiles at me and laughs that "daft sod" laugh of hers.

I agree with Shark particularly his latter comment. The progs need to continue and every effort made to increase readership. That would be the best birthday present of all. Being totally serious this comic has changed and enriched lives, it is much more than ticks on a  profit/loss spread sheet. Proselytize by any means.
Happy birthday and cleanse and purify brothers and sisters.

Three years back my exclusively superhero purchases had ceased to entertain me in any way. 2000AD saved my comic life. It really did. Thrill power might be tongue in cheek stuff but the prog really did give me a comics thrill factor back again. My genuine thanks for that.

2000AD deserves a party.

Thanks fellas-I missed the banter and insight of this place.

Good to be back.

and I am no different from the first one but lost my log in details and had changed my e mail.

Good to be back in these parts.
