"Comics are too middle-class now!" complains man...

...from his ex-pat gated community home in Spain.

The important question is, will this be available as an NFT?  And with some AI art content?

All those non-existent 10 year-olds on Twitter will be agog at this news.

Sonic would surely be somewhat simpler, given that the licenses wouldn't be so complicated.

I think you might be very wrong there. Action Force is a dead franchise, while Sonic is very much alive, and IDW currently have the licence to make Sonic comics.

(Further complicating things. Archie Comics published their own Sonic comics in the 90s for the US market, and their version lasted well into the 2010s, long long after the UK Sonic was history.)

/slow hand-clap for this one...

"Joko-Jargo died on the way back to his home planet."

Thank goodness we're getting another Regened discussion, just about a week after the last one.

I believe he mentioned that both Robin Low and Steve MacManus were sexist, misogynistic dinosaurs

That's a harsh call on a long-term forum member. Particularly when he was probably about 12 at the time.

Are you sure you don't mean then 2000AD art editor Robin Smith?

I really like Doomsday. It's objectively crap, but its very enthusiastic.

There's a quote for the film poster right there.

My favourite every quote on Doomsday, from a movie podcast:

"Congratulations, Neil Marshall. You've made your very own Paul WS Anderson movie."

i.e. i's a movie just composed of rip-offs/homages of better films made by better directors.

Dredd didn't have Danny Boyle.

It was made by his production company, DNA Films.

Danny Boyle has directed several films produced by DNA Films, but has no formal connection with the company.

I've seen him comment on this frequent misconception that he's one of the owners.

Didn't we go through this with him
Before the voting even started, when he agreed not to do the non-sensical merger thing........and now has gone ahead and did it anyway?

I think Thaw-as-Morse was cited as a specific influence on the strip, and Morse was huge on TV at that time.  Thaw was about fifty at this point.

I'm thnking I could Cosplay Armitage!! 

What age is Armitage?  I mean, he first appeared in 1991, and he was grizzled enough back then. He must be.....in his 80s now?

...I've always found it odd that Joe has an 'everyman' name and Rico has an 'exotic tough guy' name when they're clone twins. Unless Rico is short for Richard?

Just like those other famous crime-fighting brothers Charlie and Emilio.

Charlie's real name is Carlos. Carlos and Emilio's father's real name isn't Martin, but Ramon.

Would you be shocked to hear the real family name is Etevez, not Sheen?

Joe and Rico are the hero and villain characters in the Action strip Death Game 1999. Pat Mills just recycled the names.
