Good to see Talbot back in the prog, his Nemesis work is pure class... not sure about the digital colouring though.
On a side note... isn't this the type of story that should get announced on the official 2000ad website first... seems odd that 2000ad is linking to a story on another website about 2000ad??
Just a thought.
(of course, if this has already been announced here then feel free to give me a swift boot in the klinks)

Excellent news! The colouring job on the samples makes it look very 3d - could work well imo.

That looks... fantastic. But about as far from Bryan Talbot as you're likely to get! I'm a little dumbstruck seeing that; I've come to love Talbot's work over the years (despite never having read Luther Arkwright and thinking The Gothic Empire "not as good as Kevin O'Neill" back when it was published in the prog) and the annual Grandvilles are now something I look forward to almost as much as Christmas (which is when I get them. For myself.) But this is a whole new thing. It looks, at first glance, very much like a video game, but I can't base much on two panels.
Glad to see that someone I respect greatly is still surprising me. And a Michael Carroll strip, too. Jolly good.

Class. Seems to be a little thing going on of getting old school stars back in the prog at the moment. Long may it continue, I can send a list of requests!
Also good Mike Carroll of these parts getting some more Dredd's in. Really enjoyed the ones he did earlier. Must be very exciting to have such a great drawing your stories.
YAY Bryan Talbot! One of my favourite artists of all time. That looks stunning, very cinematic.
I don't usually like computery art too much, I'm more of a pen/ink/paper sort of old-fashioned sod but that looks like it's going to be gorgeous.

Fair 'nuff
Sorry, don't like the look of that. You can tell his son's from a video game background.
Bryan Talbot returning to 2000AD? Wow! His Nemesis artwork was incredible!
Just hope he doesn't give Dredd a small chin! :P
In the last few months we've had Brendan McCarthy and Liam Sharp return to Dredd. How about Steve Dillon next? :)
Good gravy... That's the first I've heard about this! :P
So, one of my all-time favourite artists is teaming up with my all-time favourite me - I'm actually having heart palpitations...

Just read that Dredd has a son!

This is a shocking development. I hope Joe Jnr isn't a wimp like his dad. :lol:

Ha Ha! That's brilliant. You'd have thought they'd have told you first.
I know it's supposed to be an exclusive, but even so...
Holy crapoly! That's great news! One of my fave artists of yesteryear. Bring it on!

Your CV of artists who have worked on your scripts is looking impressive already. :)
David Roach mentioned working on your black museum script and how enjoyable it was at the Cardiff comic con btw.
has Flintlockjaw seen all that lens flare? Tssk.
Looks very un-Talbotlike, not sure if I like it or not. I'll reserve judgement for now.

I'm always surprised to hear about this type of thing. It just goes to show that being a professional is so much different than I'd expect.
Must have been an incredible surprise!

Absolutely! I could always ask The Mighty One who's working on my upcoming scripts, but I quite like not knowing because I get great surprises like this!

You're a lucky man Mick.

Yup, I always imagine a telegram presented by a robotic footman, and then daily viewings of the rushes to look forward to, as well as a lifetime on the comps list. It really is just oil, furtive typing in the cubicle and the electro-lash, eh?

Well done on that - I'd recommend a quiet sit down in a darkened room, until at least April. ;)
I think I've just come.
OOOOH. And again.

Looks good to me. Would rather have 'vanilla' Brian Talbot, but meh, I'll settle for this! :P
Well done that Mike, you jammy bugger.
I agree that Talbot's heavy shading is the thing I'm most drawn to but it's a sweet team-up and the colouring is class as a harse (horse?)
Well this is fantastic news. The previewed Artwork looks magnificant.
It's thrill factor overload for sure. :thumbsup:
I likes it. Not sure if I like the overall style, but I've never seen any art like that in any comic before, that's why I likes it. One of my favourite things about Tharg, the Eccentric Grand Old Duke of Scifycomicanthologishire, is his willingness to embrace new artistic processes.
Looks interesting, but I must confess that Talbot is one of those artists that I've never really 'got' - never really been a fan tbh.
Talkin' bollocks but that Lawgiver is in semi-stage-morph towards Urbanisation:

Looks rather spanking in my opinion :)
Be nicer if it was just Bryan Talbot on art duties, but the colouring has been done incredibly well and i've a feeling we might just get a shiney new art droid out of this...
And yeah, if possible, can we have Dillon back next please? ;)
Just had another look and it's really grown on me. Looking at the high Rez versions has certainly won me over. I reckon Team Talbot will be one to watch...
That really dose look fantastic, it will be great to see Talbot back in the prog. You are a lucky man Mike.

I AGREE....
Yeah, the story-ville of Bryan's work will totally shine through all of the writing and nurture Mike's words like a good and wise adoptive parent. Then his son's life-schooling is going to be an absolute treat! I love the thugs being dispatched. I can't wait to see a lone Dredd panel too.
I'm very excited about this.
This is excellent news! Can't wait, quite frankly! :D
Excellent news! :D
I'm not sure what to make of this artwork really. I want to see it on the printed page before passing judgement but it looks a bit too much like a still from a videogame for my liking.
Here is an interview with Alwyn Talbot:
http://www.creativeboom.co.uk/north-west/lookbook/alwyn-talbot/
It includes a Dredd picture but this is actually an old one of his that he has given a more recent polish to:
http://neubius.cgsociety.org/gallery/955654/
His pen and ink work is pretty good:

http://neubius.cgsociety.org/gallery/604300/
I wonder if we'll see more of him in the prog, flying solo this time.
Bryan's making two appearances in Scotland this weekend, if anyone wants to catch him. He's at Forbidden Planet Edinburgh at 12pm this Saturday, where he'll be signing copies of his new book, and then hotfooting it along the M8 for a signing and talk at Glasgow's Plan B graphic novel bookstore, from 4-6.
I dare say there'll be a smattering of droids in attendance, most likely at the Plan B session.

Lovely stuff. Good to see the Talbot droid back at 2000AD, this is going to really stand out in the prog.
Done a quick Q&A with Alwyn Talbot for the website.
Hopefully I'll get it back tomorrow and can post it up. Liked what I saw artwise on his website and seems like a really nice guy too.
Really interested to see how this strip turns out.
And can I add another quick congrats to Mike!
