I'm still waiting for Halo Jones Book 4...

anyway, I haven't read all the progs so really shouldn't be posting here

Since when did that become a prerequisite for internet pontificating?!

My vote would be for something around 510 (Bad Company, The Dead, The Taxidermist, Slaine the King, Bitch, Ulysses Sweet.)

Either that or 550:

Zenith
Oz
Bad Company 2
SD in The Rammy (Yer breeks is mince)
Nemesis

Great stuff.

Goby Hutt is currently zombified at a revive point in Roywood. He's also, rather stupidly, just accidentally dropped his DNA extractor and he can't pick it up again.

Meanwhile, Victor Chud is holed up in The Denney Arms in Roysbank. He can heal and shoot, but neither  very well.

Even my zombie character is too rubbish to hit other zombies who can't fight back.

Fallen asleep outside a nightclub, whilst rapidly losing HP to infection. I'll be dead by dawn I imagine.

I hate it when the hero kills loads of guys then walks away without even a word from the cops. The most irritating example of this is Lethal Weapon where - IIRC - Riggs is suspended as he's suspected of killing somebody or something. In the climactic fight on Danny Glover's lawn, he then kills the only character capable of corroborating his (highly implausible) version of events.

Do the cops then drag him away for killing yet another innocent civilian? Not a chance.

Bugger. The Tour de France and Giro D'Italia titles will be scant consolation when I die alone in a shabby Italian hotel room having overdosed on cocaine and anti-depressants.

read being the all important missing word.

I just them in one go.

Dredd was oblivious? That's not what I got from it.

Certainly how it seemed to me. From Dredd's reluctance to go in the first place through to his comment at the end, it seemed he was in the dark.

However, I also thought she hypnotised the computer guy into thinking he was a Sov agent and didn't notice any gun.

The Simon Spurrier roadshow hits the ground running and I declare it a 2-1 victory for the forces of quality.

Dredd - Cool. Something a bit different and yet another potential recurring character.

Kippers - Top hole, old bean.

ABCs - Gradually running out of steam, but still the sort of bonkersness I'd have liked just as much when I was twelve.

Lobster Random - Tiresome, long-winded pish.

86ers - Meh.

I feel sorry for those who haven't yet received their Prog this week. I ended up getting two last week and I have two Megazines today. Very odd.

Oh and I actually would buy ones that reprinted stories I haven't read or heard of from between 900 and 1300.

"Doesn't He Write X-Men" edition - The Dead and Shadows, which I loved.

"Piss on Morrison's Chips" edition - Big Dave, Really & Truly and Ulysses Sweet.

"It's Like Harry Potter, but with lovely John Ridgway art" edition - Luke Kirby.

"These John Smith EEs have been inordinately popular" edition - New Statesmen.

i heard that DR and Quinch was really a shakespeare play. which was never credited to the bard himself. he found in a car boot sale recognized the handwriting and immedaitely typed it up and sent it to tharg.

Ah, but maybe Moore travelled back in time to try and knick some ideas from Shakespeare and ended up having to write the plays himself when it turned out nobody knew the Bard. Moore then ended up writing the story he'd subsequently ripped off as well as "inspiring" a whole load of other writers he could then plagiarise.

After a drunken tumble with a buxom tavern wench, he probably ended up being his own great-great-grandfather into the bargain.
