[Judge Dredd: The Complete Daily Star Newspaper Strips]

Judge Dredd: The Complete Daily Star Newspaper Strips
Just one volume collecting all the Wagner/Grant ones.

Would love to see this one and also a Harlem Heroes (original series).

I'd also like to see more stuff from the Meg as I don't get it but there are a few things that I'd love to read, Inserection and these Untold Tales stories currently running among them.

Oh and a Missionary Man omnibus.

I have now missed 2 Progs in a row. It's getting increasingly difficult for me to get to the shops midweek, and if I go into town at the weekend it's a special trip just to get 2000ad.

I'm going to have to turn to Tharg's Future Shop for my missing issues anyway, so I think it may be time I started subscribing again.

Looking at the subscription ad it would appear the only way to exercise the £130 one-off payment option to receive both titles is to send a cheque to the warehouse in Malden. Or is it possible to do this by credit card over the phone? The subscription ad doesn't say so.

I paid for mine over the phone about 4 months ago now so unless somethings changed hopefully shouldn't be a problem. Also as I recall Denise lets you pick the issue you want to start from so you may well be able to include the issues you're missing into your subscription rather than make a seperate payment for them.

Oh man oh man the Bendis Avengers brings out the sore nerd in me. I'm a massive traditional Avengers fan full runs (well if you include the Essentails up to 120ish) up to 320 of volume one, Full run of volume 3 and stuff like that. I REALLY gave the Bendis Avengers a full chance 'cos it was quite good comics BUT after issue 48 I gave up and let the death of [spoiler]The Wasp[/spoiler] be an end. It was an ok comic that wasn't the Avengers as I understood them. I completely accept that I'm in the minority as its so massively popular so I just need to get over it.

...write a Dynamite title worth reading!

Big fan of the other Wagner's Zorro as it goes... of topic I know but worth mentioning.

Well happily I got my Prog too today. I'd had to avoid this thread up to then to stay spoiler free for the two big conclusions this week.

Funnily enough last when reviewing last weeks Prog someone said in reference to 'Strontium Dog' sometimes when a series is very good its hard to get an ending that matchs the quality. Well this week we had two ending that were completely wonderful and more than fitting to the quality of the fantastic series they rounded up. Both 'Kingdom' and 'Shakara' ending superbly.

I hope that isn't it for 'Shakara' but suspect it might be. There's one thing in there that gives me hope that there's more to come but if not the series has a satisfying conclusion.

Dredd continues well enough. I feel a little sorry for 'Sinister Dexter' as the continuing plot threads are being pushed along in short burst after short burst. I feel as though Tharg uses it as filler determining story size to fit the gaps he gets at the ends of runs and Abnett has to manipulate his story to suit. Utter speculation of course but I really wish 'Sinister Dexter' would get a good solid run to complete the current story. Mind having said all that still really enjoyed it.

'Necrophim' was fun but while I normally like Lee Carter's art but I felt it lacked the dynamitic edge to carry the combat in this issue. Shame cos overall I enjoying this story.

Great Prog with much of interest.

Its a kinda wonderful thing that people have so much time on their hands (says the man who has somehow managed to read 37 Progs in a week... not sure how...). Some of them are brillant.

I'm lucky I live in Sheffield so its the 69 bus for me. If people are coming up by train etc let me know and I can certainly meet you there to show you the rest of the way.

So I take it from that you're a bit excited too then!

Well I'm now insanely excited cos I've been invited along to the Sheffield shoot to help out.

Christ I'm such a nerd I'm having to take a day off work to hangout outside in the middle of a Sheffield winter for nowt and I'm a bit giddy!

Anybody else coming along?

Completely off topic but Tordelback quoting Tom Waits now that is class!

Err what would that be then????

There's a load of Judge Dredd ones at Play.com

http://www.play.com/Search.aspx?searchtype=clothingall&searchstring=judge+dredd&page=search&pa=search

Some of which are new I think?

While having a virtual back and forth with Alex Ronald (see thread in the General Section) it turns out there's going to be a sequel to Outpost that he worked on earlier in the year.

Always a little nervous with these things but it'll be interesting to see where they decide to take this story as there are clearly a number of avenues that could be explored.

Who are the creative team on the Captain Britain strip?

For those of you so inclined there's Comics Should be Good is running another of its top 100 polls. This time they're asking what the top 100 storylines ever are. If you fancy why not pop over and show 2000ad some love to try to remind the American comic buying public that there is a world outside their window (with apologise to the numerous fine folk from America who post here). Linkie to rules

Off the top of my head I'm going to vote for Nemesis Book 1, Zenith Phase 3, a Dredd epic (still debating which, Cursed Earth, The Pit...hmmmm) and possibly a few more... in fact I might try an entirely European vote just for the heck of it we'll see...

Anyway lists always fun.
