Nice to see this waiting for me this evening.

What a stunning cover by Neil Roberts (From an original cover sketch by Colin MacNeil)

Only Read Insurrection at the moment and what a start. This looks like its going to be a corker.

17 page count for sexy ostriches. and no letters page for buttman.

Buttman?

The Meg starts with a quality comic Dredd from Messrs Wagner and Willsher that had me laughing out loud a couple of times and ends with a dense scene setting episode of Insurrection featuring precisely none of the existing cast.

In between Hondo City Justice concludes in not particularly dramatic fashion and a fifteen page chase scene is probably the most enjoyable episode of American Reaper I've read.

In this instance, the bread is definitely more nourishing than the filling. Best Meg for a while.

Last panel of Dredd = why Dredd is Dredd

Buttman?

Hello.

Yeah no letters since Meg 329 - 5 issues and none since the shift from 4-weekly to monthly. I believe we should all write in and complain (not that the letters will be printed anyway).

Surprised nobody has mentioned the woman with boobs so big they have wheels on them.

Boobywheels.

Not to mention Jon "G" Clay IV and Urb Karlan starring in the forth coming movie 'Yassa'

Wot 'e said...

That cover has some wonderful detail on that metal on the cover.

Appart from the sexy ostriches that could have been compress into a five pages, a fine Meg, the highlight being INS III with a different slant on the story

Text story a nice one too, and Hondo cit wrapped up with a bow and a GRennie style intro for a new baddie

No meg for me yet. Looking forward to Insurrection III. Has Sexy Ostriches shown any sign of coming to an end yet ?

Proudhuff · 18 March, 2013, 12:07:00 PM

none, this 17 pages one big bullet dodge/ chase

Sexy Ostriches is really starting to grind me down. Jesus wept, we got more story in Past Imperfect in last weeks prog than in the last three months of American Reaper!

Mabs · 18 March, 2013, 02:31:22 PM

I quite like American Reaper. Its fast paced and regardless of the page count, goes along at a cracking pace. The 'artwork' did take some getting used to, but i feel it's still a fun read.

Apparantly, this is the halfway mark - so another (seeming) lifetime of 'couldn't you have done this 5 pages?' I do quite like 'Sexy Ostriches' but 17 pages every month is taking the piss!

My MEG just arrived today ( tuesday???) should have been here on saturday with my weekly prog.

GRRRR useless royal mail.

Just had a quick scan thru the pages, looks really good. Will read it thru tonight in peace.

I have been reading the meg for a few issues now. I have this strange syndrome that looks forward to the issue then feels relatively deflated after the actual reading of it.

I am in harder economic times these days and don't think I can justify the cover price particularly with American Reaper taking up so much space. I really like the story line but it is a 5 pager innit?
