You will have to take the physical copy of the Prog from my cold, dead hands.
100% agreement there, but for now I'm digital - I'll grab the physical issues through Big Bang when this is all over. I don't mind paying twice (or in some cases five times) for primo thrills.
Another near-miraculous plague-prog, and solid as solid can be.
Cover absolutely fantastic. Fraser is a marvel, and very welcome back.
Getting most pleasure from
Survival Geeks these days. Googe's bright and bubbly art seems incredibly well-suited to screen-reading, and I'm all for something light-hearted at the moment.
Dredd was alarmingly apposite, but as Colin says, not Niemand's best, and while the Dyer art is fabarooney, the heavy muted colours are a bit... overwhelming? I enjoy these DoC follow-ons, but I see some contradiction in Dredd's reflections on the 'Day', when really the deaths took place over many escalating days, and his stated attempts to avoid the De-Hab zones is at odds with earlier stories that have him making regular patrols in the post-Chaos wasteland sectors as a form of penance.
Can we now add magic pigeons to the, errr, stable of mystic MC-1 animal companions?
Aquila is ace. Just ace. Everything I hoped this series would be when it started out. Rennie's deft structuring of episodic story can't be praised enough.
Hershey looks amazing, terrific design throughout, but seemed very light on plot this week. Still needs to really shine in that department to win me over. The art is a given.
Skip Tracer was inconsequential. So little to cling on to that I was able to read it portrait-style on my 5" phone - testimony to Marshall's storytelling no doubt, but also indicative of an absence of substance. When all I can remember about it five minutes later is cadaver-wang, it's clear that my patience is gone. Get the talented Messrs Peaty and Marshall onto something else, Thargy, they're wasted struggling on with this series.
