Books & Comics / Bladerunner 2019

« on: 18 July, 2019, 04:31:57 PM »

Picked this up in FP, Titan Comics again ticking my boxes, (except having ten different covers!)

Art, colour and story all good and that lettering is a delight

Megazine / Meg 410 Psilent Running

« on: 16 July, 2019, 11:20:18 AM »

Nice cover, that's the way to portray a female lead( see letters page in the Prog!)
Dredd: The Red Queen's moves continue and Dredd pulls off a couple himself, that's gonna smart in the morning!! I'm still having trouble getting into Lynch's elongated body forms and pencil necks but all's good with this strip.
Demarco: is eight pages of talking heads, difficult to carry off, I had a feeling we should have started with the end of that episode.
Diamond Dogs: more talking heads and one less  nice splashpage, in every sense of the word!
The Returners: a lot of set up going on, but I'm not really invested, some nice action but the colours feel a bit muted
Anderson: a good start and a fine selection of cadets, might have a bit trouble telling them apart when they are helmeted... speaking of which shouldnt they have white helmets and a half badge or am I misremembering ?

General / Dredd stickers

« on: 09 January, 2019, 02:07:50 PM »

Sooo... got. New diary and phone case and they are both tastefully monochrome.
Was thinking a quality Dredd/2000ad sticker could liven them up.

Surprised Rebellion don’t do this, any good sites out There?

Googled. It and just got wall sized ones, are they sanctioned by Rebelion?

Off Topic / Grud bless us everyone

Been a bit of a quite year on the board, and I for one miss some of the more colourful characters we’ve hosted in the past, while not agreeing with them in a lot of their take on things from Brexit to Dredd’s facial hair..
Still we’re all Dreddheads... Grud bless us everyone

Film & TV / Christmas Telly?

Anything worth watching this year?
I tried looking up the schedules/magazines but they seem to be filled with pointless celebs

Film & TV / TWD series 9

« on: 11 October, 2018, 01:04:38 PM »

That was entertaining 
Loving the detail of construction time again and unlike the comic loads of crisp Walker action, along with a load of crumb trails getting started and Chekhov's guns primed,

...and a ending that startled and seemed fitting too. ( not that I advocate that sort of thing)

oh, And Carol and Daryl getting the screen time they deserve at last.

So I'm sticking with it

Film & TV / The man in the high castle series 3

« on: 09 October, 2018, 11:28:07 AM »

Thoughts everyone?
I'm enjoying the whole thing just up to episode 5. However, I thought the Pon Chief Inspector committed seppuku in the last series?
Have I miss remembered?

Megazine / Megazine 399- War on the Law!

« on: 15 August, 2018, 12:08:18 PM »

So a cover of Dredd doing his Zumba class also...
 smart-drug addiction on a university campus in "Brain Drain"; Devlin Waugh's in "Kiss of Death"; "The Returners" will be; Chopper battles to save Oz in "Wandering Soul", and there's the climax of the special Strange Brigade story that is the highlight of the Meg.  and in the bagged supplement this month, Judge Dredd: The Lost Cases, untold tales from the lawman's greatest adventures, scripted by Alan Grant, and featuring the art of David Roach, Anthony Williams, PJ Holden,

All well and good, total oppsite APU of the current Prog.

Updated the title to include the strapline.

Events / edinburgh Festival pintage anyone?

« on: 16 July, 2018, 02:55:36 PM »

How about organising a few pints o pimms over the Festival?

All you medja types will be up to 'do' Edinbra so how about it 

As far as I know there is no 2000ad related gigs to hang our collective hats on so its open season! who wants to backout first?

Off Topic / Does that work in real life?

« on: 19 December, 2017, 11:24:46 AM »

ooookay, there is a load of these and somewhere on the Tinernet it will be addressed, but I thought this is the place for this.

In movies there is stuff that happens that in real life I suspect would get you hurt, or looking like a twat.

The classic is jumping from something and grabbing on with your finger tips... really! I bet some poor bastard has believe that and came a cropper.

But there are things that I do wonder, would that work?

First off: shooting a lock?

Books & Comics / BATMAN White Knight

« on: 08 December, 2017, 07:59:24 PM »

soooo, finally someone writes a Batman story that asks a few questions and challenges a whole load of assumptions.
This is the first Batman story I've enjoyed since Killing Joke.
Sean Murphy's story telling and art are exceptional, unfortunately the reboot button will be hit by DC at the end or Batty will come out on top yawn... Sean address's so much that is crap with the whole Gotham thing, it might be hard putting this joker back in the pack.
