Dark Jimbo

I once idly began to plan a Meltdown Man sequel.

Nick Stone - now bald, but still rocking the beard and eyepatch - has spent decades in an M.O.D psychiatric hospital, getting treatment for the delusions whose ficitonal nature he's now been fully convinced of. The first episode would end with the 'shock' opening of a time/space portal in his cell - out steps Liana and another yujee in stealth-ops gear, visibly more technologically-advanced since we last saw them. 'Stone! We need your help! You have to come back... to the future!'

More Meltdown Man and Harry 20?  Yes please.

"After a Decent Interval: Dash Decent Returns".

Plus, the story of how an intergalactic gladiator came to be covered in soft fur: Black Hawk Down.

Can't see 2000AD's core readership being able to relate to that character.

He could actually be Belardinelli now - that would be aces!

Oh well.

RESULT! Tharg, get me an artist who can draw cats and nice bums!

(Although I'd rather read Jimbo's Meltdown Man sequel)
You're a dark horse, Boots.

Funt Solo

Ground Zero: Zero City gets nuked - but Tanner and some women escape into the surrounding wilderness, where they roll D100 on various Wilderness Wandering Monster tables until about 10-12 episodes have passed. Eventually, they find their way to Zero City 2.0 - a back-up city.

Patient Zero: Tanner wakes up in a hospital, where he's told that everything he's experienced is part of a coma-dream-world he's imagined to shut out the nightmare of his real life. But wait - is that Doctor sweating?

Glimmer Cats: anthropomorphized cat people who express themselves through song and dance, are sent into the nightmare world of the glimmer - as Earth's last hope against a nightmare alien intelligence.

So high concept they don't require any description:
  • Synnamon::Toast
  • Stalag 667
  • Meltdown, Man!
  • Strontium Dug: Tales from the Doggy Daycare
  • Survivalist Geeks
  • Crabappilistics, Inc.
  • Luke Derpy
