Help! / Re: Rebellion and Rights to Ea...
Last post by maryanddavid - 15 May, 2024, 11:38:11 PMI never heard anything about actors images being a problem with Doomlord.
Why I didn't do the photo strips at that time was that they were too difficult to reproduce properly. That was nearly 20 years ago(!!) and technology has moved on and would now reproduce reasonably well. I did try a subsequent collection but it didn't happen.
Dan Dare, from what I understand, John and Pat own the rights to the Return of the Mekon story. It is a pity that its not reprinted, it has some of the finest art, and the story's not too shabby either!

Books & Comics / Re: SPACEWARP - New Venture fr...
Last post by maryanddavid - 15 May, 2024, 11:16:57 PMYeah, the old 'it was better in my day'. No it was just different. The humour comics form the forties were vastly different to the sixties, etc etc. Still, while my youngest has left the Beano and Monster Fun behind ( he did get the Phoenix, but never loved it) he is now coming home with a manga from Eason's every other week.

Last post by IndigoPrime - 15 May, 2024, 10:20:43 PMDisappointing but only because it's so good. I thought this would run and run. Such fantastic worldbuilding. Oh well.

Prog / Re: Prog 2382: Beware Iron Tee...
Last post by Colin YNWA - 15 May, 2024, 09:08:31 PMOh my Prog review from the weekend isn't here... I wonder what happened there and how I managed not to post it??? Anyway I think I said Dredd was a solid set up, Aquila had a bit of a damp ending compared to the rest but is setting up the next bit I guess. Intestinauts looks amazing and brings a nice balance to the Prog, Brink is AMAZING, Proteus Vex is AMAZING...

Megazine / Re: Meg 468: A Storm is Coming
Last post by Colin YNWA - 15 May, 2024, 09:01:52 PMWell that was a distracted read. The App has completely changed and it took a bit of getting used to AND I can't work out where to download my files to (though I think that's a change from earlier I'd just not noticed and it doesn't handle double page spreads as well and I'm not sure how well it will sort my library when I open the app and...
oh yeah the comic...
Dredd was fun with shiny art. Text articles seems okay, only scanned them to this point. DeMarco was an okay conclusion. Armitage is losing me already. Extra strips fine but I've read Hookjaw and have to be honest the Robot Archie stuff has put me off getting the collection. Dredd Toxic... well I recently sold my copies of the originals so...Harrower Squad has some lovely art but I'm not sure what this strip is really offering. Dreadnoughts is by FAR the best thing in the comic. By far its really good.
So overall not the best Meg for me AND I've not got my previously downloaded issues any more and the Library is just a lump of comics so not as easy to navigate and....
