It's in the Thrill Power Overload article in Meg 380 -2nd last paragraph (what you haven't read it???  :lol: ).

Anyway, quote from Ian Edgington:   <<<major spoiler>>>

"At some point we are going to have a[spoiler] Sherlock Holmes[/spoiler] strip in 2000AD.

I think it might also have been mentioned in his panel last Saturday.

I re-bought 261 yesterday (for £1 - bargain!!!) just because I cut out the coupon for Griddles spoiling the last panel of Robo-Hunter

Have you read Fever Pitch? Nick Hornby would skip friends Weddings to go to Arsenal matches and they happened every week.

That Dredd story was a corker, fantastic stuff and hopefully an introduction to an interesting recurring character

Ok...so is someone going to tell him, or do I have to? Seems like your territory Frank.

A decent prog all round, I think. I was a bit puzzled with the Pause character in Kingdom.....

Er, this is the Meg thread. :lol: :lol: :lol:

It's all this talk about Strontium Dog....

I'm more bothered that we've got two (presumably separate) secret factions by different writers on the go at the same time.

Might be an idea to put at least one of them to rest soonish.

Sorry for being thick - so we have Sector Zero in the Michael Carroll stories, but what is the other secret faction you are referring to? (And which writer?)

There is a recent thread covering similar ground.

You might want to check it out:

I don't think this is the best comic ever or even Wagner/Grant best story but it's nice book with amazing art.

I was going on "it's written by Wagner and Grant, and drawn by McMahon" so of course I'm going to like it.

Bit like ok "I'll buy all of Rok of the Reds blind just because it is by Wagner and Grant."

I have just ordered the hardback limited edition. I have never read this before and was going to get the soft cover, but some how couldn't resist the art print.

(I have heard some say it is "one of the best comics ever" and someone I was chatting to on Saturday said it "wasn't all that. Guess I will find out for myself soon enough).

This week's Dredd epitomises everything I find wrong with Carroll's take on the story....

..Hinging a whole two part story on it forces you to treat it as An Important Revelation.

Now I do generally like Carroll's Dredd, but I agree with you on the "hinging the whole two part story on it". There was nothing in this story or indeed previous Carroll Dredd's to give any clue about it - it was just plucked from the ether at random as far as I am concerned.

I am going to chose to follow Bolt's advice and treat it as as just a one off for now and not read anymore into it (until such time as Michael Carroll follows it up I guess).

I'm in two minds about that reveal.


I know it has been said many times that [spoiler]the Strontium Dog world is a possible future for Dredd's world, but I don't really want the strip to move more towards that. I have taken the view to date that the Dredd - Alpha cross-overs we have had so far were just a way of shoe horning the two characters into the same story, just because it would be a bit of fun*. I have never really taken them as canon.**[/spoiler]

*[spoiler]yeah I know "Judgement Day" and "fun" isn't necessarily a combination most would think of.[/spoiler]

**[spoiler]yeah I know #2: can-opened type situation risked.[/spoiler]

Or just Kingdom, which somehow manages both at the same time. 

That's why Dan Abnett is a genius.

Case in point: last month's VC's floppy which came in in the middle of a long ongoing story and still managed to make perfect sense.

Don't get me wrong, I would dearly love to understand it as I think there is actually a good story underneath it all, so thanks for the summary. It's just that a number of re-reads in I still "don't get it".

Someone posted on the 40th event thread that they got Kek-W to explain it to them. To which all I can say is, I wish I had thought of that!
