GARTH ENNIS PLANES and BOYS

[judgefloyd]

3 cheers for the Trout, I really like Ennis Dredd stories, many more than the man himself does (with some exceptions - like the Muzak one). 

[Colin YNWA]

Yeah I've defended Ennis' Dredd here in the past and no doubt will do so again. They are great fun and there was a lot worse around the corner in them days.

Fuuuccckkkk....

Read it this morning. My thoughts exactly.

The Female and Frenchie better survive, that's all I'm saying!

[judgefloyd]

amen to that, Gordy.

Hey, can I air some speculations here?  I can? Oh good.

I think that guy with the tufty gen-x goatee who keeps cropping up is going to be important later on.  He drives the evil Vought guy around, he serves some drinks, he packs some weapons.  Just wondering.

I kind of think the evil Vought bloke is going to turn out to have super powers or some kind of awesome secret.

that's all.  I'm crap at spotting plot twists, so aren't worrying too much about this.

oh and while I'm here - who was the beardy guy from G-Men with hammers for hands who only said 'gonna' a lot meant to be sending up?

[I, Cosh]

Oh dear.

[PreacherCain]

Oh dear.

Yup 

[Colin Zeal]

Wow indeed. Although it was fairly predictable what would happen ([spoiler]what with people who make the cover recently all dying that issue. See Legend, MM and Terror.[/spoiler] it was no less of a shock.

That really is the FLAT Iron building now... com'n wee Shuggie!! dayit!

[Satanist]

Aw Naw

[Trout]

It's horrible. But I can't wait to see how it ends. That said, there's a major character who hasn't turned up yet. Where's [spoiler]Annie/Starlight[/spoiler]?

[Colin Zeal]

She hasn't been seen since leaving the 7's HQ a few episodes back.

Cool Tankies (or at least Sargent Stiles) is back from Ennis and Ezquerra in the first of the new Battlefields mini's. No date I can spot yet, but not far off I assume...

The cover for the last issue of The Boys is here:

I'll leave it as a link, in case people don't want to see it yet.

According to the solicitations over at Bleeding Cool the new Battlefield series is six issues long.

Whether that refers to just the new Tankies or the entire series (e.g. just two stories of three issues) is anyone's guess.

Oh and there's the Dredd stuff which I've mentioned elsewhere.
