Mark Millar's Conveyer Belt

[Funt Solo]

I hear a lot of references to "Mark Millar's Conveyer Belt", often in conjunction with molten metal.

Did this happen in the prog or Meg?  If so, where?

[Noisybast]

The first ones that spring to mind are both in the prog.

Book Of The Dead saw Old Stoney Face battering an immortal ancient egyptian god into submission on a conveyor belt, where it was quickly chopped up into several thousand small, immortal portions.

Then there was that thing with the hard-ass vatican Judge killing a variety of international Judges in the arctic. IIRC, he met with a conveyor belt related end as well.

There was almost certainly one in Purgatory/Inferno, too...

The last episode of Purgatory.  As with pretty much all of Millar's 2000ad material, it featured a fight on a moving object/a chase sequence lifted from a film.  There was something about a robot power-suit (no, really) worn by the warden of a prison colony on Titan, and Judge Grice had a fight with him on a conveyor belt leading towards a vat of molten metal (no, really), and then the planet blew up (no, really), and the escaping judges went to Mega-City One for a universally panned mini-mega-epic which I thought was considerably better than Judgement Day.

I actually went out and hunted down the progs with Inferno in them just to see if it was as bad as everyone on here made out.

I'm sorry I doubted.

Carlos' art was nice, though...

[scutfink]

Carlos' art was as good as ever, although I thought the redesign of the surgically altered face to a little tin nose was a bit of a cop out...

[Satanist]

Yeah the art was nice but the scene where Dredd lets a guy drown(he was cubed for something like littering or speeding)just really,really grated with me.

I mean really grated!

[Funt Solo]

There's a law that states "Whenever anyone mentions Inferno or Purgatory, Funt Solo must complain about the Statue of Judgement crashing into the West Wall."

There.

[scutfink]

If we break that law do we get sent to Titan and given little tin noses?

[opaque]

Was a pity but you could just attribute that to superior techology over the years from when Rico went to Titan

[Funt Solo]

I always thought that, never mind 20 years on an inhospitable moon - they also mutilate your face!

The little metal nose just diminished that.  

Mind you, it wasn't the worst thing about that storyline by a long shot.  So much to choose from...

[Dark Jimbo]

Red Razors fought Dredd on a conveyor belt, too...

[Roger Godpleton]

Also, Purgatory had a disturbing amount of pornographic lady Judge deaths.

"Then there was that thing with the hard-ass vatican Judge killing a variety of international Judges in the arctic. IIRC, he met with a conveyor belt related end as well. "

That was Crusade. I liked that story. There was also a maudlin talking coal carriage.  I remember Dredd calling the Egyptian Judge a meathead.

[Radbacker]

as much as i pull this piss out of these sequences in Millar scripts i quite liked Crusade(from when i started reading tooth, ythats my excuse and i'm sticking to it) and red Razors too but wasn't it DRedd Clone number X or something that did Razors in?
