I think you're refering to Shadows.

Not much info on Barney alas

But a really fun story from Milligan and as a yet perfected Elson Droid

Mulligan dosn't look like the type who has gone through 15 years in the toughest school on earth.

Just like Anderson!

Meanwhile, I might be picking up a second Tharg (at retail price) and was thinking about gifting it to a 2000AD creator... I dunno.  For some reason I thought it might be a nice gesture to stick it in the post to Mills, Wagner or O'Neill - just to say thanks for all the Thrills, and for bringing Tharg into the world.


Bloody hell that would be a very generous thing to do. Pat Mills is the original Tharg so he'd be a very cool choice to boot.

Was there even a hint at when that annoucement might be? I mean can I be blindy optimistic and think it might be this weekend at San Deigo?

Oh, its nothing San Deigo size (I dont think). Its a new ongoing 9 parter coming up in the prog that the writer and artist were cool enough to send me the first part of and come on and talk about it.

Ohhh I see. Intrigued to hear more when the time is right.

Well that's certainly yet more interesting stuff and continues to give me confidence that this film is at least starting out well.

Some said that Ma Ma Clang might be a typo and lo it is. Ma Ma Clan makes a lot more sense.

I'd also put my weight behind Carey Mulligan for Anderson. But time will tell.

I'm pleasently optimistic about this whole thing now. Fingers crossed and all that.

Scary to see The Dandy is down to just under 19k:

Isn't 'The Dandy' now some weird bastard child of what it once was? I mean Dandy Xtreme whats that about? 19th Century fops sky diving on snowboards or something?

Making Anderson a rookie sidekick hands the mandatory 'character arc' side of things over to her, which is a pleasing idea in that it (hopefully) frees Dredd up from learning the value of friendship and humility, or whatever.  It also raises the possibility of her reporting on what's going on inside Dredd's head without the need for the man himself to emote.  

Yeah I think this use of Anderson has is pretty encouraging possiblities. We get a good character who Dredd can introduce the harsh realisties of Mega City One too and the audience can empathise with, leaving Dredd to be the hard bastard of the piece.

As long as we don't close on the line.

'Oh Cassie I've been such a fool and you've openned my eyes to what a grumpy old grump I've been. Giz a hug'

This could work.

I reckon that sounds ok. Not my dream movie but it seems a workable premise.

Have to say all the shiney shiney pictures I'm seeing of this make it look like the most exciting mainstream comicbook movie for a while. I'm no fan of Thor but this looks like it might be a whole heap of overblown fun.

I'm sure everyone is already aware of this but no harm in mentioning just in case. Those remembering 'Scream' fondly can check out a brillant collection of '13th Floor' stories produced by our own Maryanddavid. Its fantastic.

DDD thanks for posting those adverts never seen them before and a couple are really good.
