Good to know - is that the special BOLT-01 annual?
If it is is it possible to save one for me?
Hi saw the "unboxing" online and it looks superb.

It is, and we have about 15 to sell first come first served. £25 cash on the day!

Rogue Trooper remains the highlight, as it has been since Part 1, and I'd have been happy if he just went home on the very last page, as Ennis is the best war comic writer out there today.

Dredd was a nice set up, let's see how it goes, but blimey it was a dark set up!

The Out has always been brilliant if rather odd.

Durham Red looks great and continues to impress.

Just had to share Leonardo Manco's ARSOM cover. Sod misery guts "Niemand", Manco is a genius artist.

Easily cover of the year so far

Keeping people up to date.

Printing paid for today, so we are well on track for the LAWLESS launch, which is a relief.

The proof copy is really nice, and I think people will be impressed and very happy with the quality.

There will be 200 copies, initially available to backers and attendees to Lawless and Enniskillen cons. Any remaining (there's 50 extra printed) will be offered online. There will be no reprint. I may raffle the proof copy as it's unique.

Anyway, thanks to everyone who backed, we should be be able to donate about 2500 to SOBS

Dredd was a fun read, helped by the Scots dialect and art. I wish they'd just got on with it, though, instead of continuing it some time in the future.

Durham Red is really cool, with awesome art, it's a treat every week

Rogue I like, and there's still six episodes for Ennis to pull any rugs he has. Either way I'm happy with it tbh

A decent issue.

DREDD keeps rolling along, but the plot is not much fun.

DREADNOUGHTS is the best thing here, glad it's back.

ANDERSON has a decent start, and I look forward to more of it.

Very glad SPECTOR is finally being completed, and so far it's great.

DEVLIN WAUGH was a real poop fest this time, and I usually enjoy it, just boring.

Whilst I love Nick Percival's art, DARK JUDGES is a no from me, a real waste of his talents.

The DAVE GIBBONS interview was good, looking forward to seeing him at the LAWLESS convention next month. Still tickets left...

Dredd was ok, lift scene made it


Durham red is shaping up very nicely, and the art is ace
Rogue Trooper is a time travel story as it's probably the only way Ennis would entertain the idea. I'm liking it, though, and Paddy goddard is amazing

Yes, backers can pick up copies there if they wish. Nothing will be sent out, physical or digital, until after then

Still a few days left! :D

I dragged myself through the first 100 pages and was skipping far too much in yawnful boredom. That was enough for me, it was just a history lecture.
#72
And still 9 days left on this. I've finally seen the completed thing (digitally) and it's seriously amazing. it will be strictly limited and the only guarantee of a copy is via kickstarter. Go for it

Made this mistake or reading this straight after Time Bimb comics "Harker: The Black Hound"

The sheer quality difference in storytelling, character and dialogue was jarring.

Dredd was okay, nothing more. Lowborn High added His Dark Materials to Harry Potter as something it's rippung off. AGain, it's okay but I felt like it shoild have got it's own special rather than take up the lions share of this. The Future Shock was, surprise, okay. Mayflies I find it hard to care about that much, it really doesn't benefit from the time gap. Loce the art, though.

I've happily championed these editions, but this one was quite boring and shows that better writers are seriously needed, or at least script editors who can punch up the often flaccid dialogue we are getting.

Rowling? Zero chance, she is not a good enough writer, simple as.

So there.
