I haven’t commented on the Prov thread for a while at I have been behind on my Progs. Now I had caught up, this really is a review of the current runs rather than than this particular Prog.
Best thing by miles is Chimpsky. That wouldn’t be the case if it was up against stronger thrills, but at present it’s the strip I look forward to most.
Close behind is Hershey, which is very readable and has great art.
If Dredd has to hark to a previous epic, then End of Days would be pretty low on my list. So not great, but passable. And I might be in a minority, but I’m not too sure about Flint’s new style. It’s not massively different to his old style, it’s more little changes, but I preferred his Chaos Day era stuff. Still great mind- after all it is Henry Flint.
Enemy Earth and Hope do very little for me. Not much has happened in the former and I haven’t found a reason why I should care. The later has just lost me. I have very little idea what is going on. Now normally I’d consider a re-read, but in my catch up I read each story as a whole rather than Prog to Prog, so I’ve already done that, and it still makes little sense to me.
Overall I’ll be happy enough when this current run comes to an end and we get new stories, but I assume that won’t be until the Xmas Prog. Which may well be my last physical Prog as I’m probably going digital when my subscription renews.
