Prog / Re: Prog 2381: A grizzly fate
Last post by broodblik - Today at 06:44:24 AMA good prog that was letdown by a disappointing ending to the Dredd story.
Dredd – I already set my 2 cents.
Aquila – A good episode that breaks away from the previous violence (do not worry we do get some awesome massacre scene as well) as Aquila is moving closer to his objective.
Prime – Well it ends, and I am not sure that I really want to see another series. This was ok but with the weekly run in most cases it just felt like I must re-read the previous episodes to keep track.
Brink – Wow another awesome episode especially that last page. It is amazing how in 5 pages Abnett can spin up 4 different scenes. This series has been in top form since it first series. Another great thing about this is where are Abnett taking us? This is not a rollercoaster but a slow burn.
Vex – The focus is back to Midnight and this episode on its own would have owned the prog. What happens next? Why must we wait another week? Also mister Lynch your art is fantastic

Last post by broodblik - Today at 04:21:40 AMI enjoyed the Dredd story but the last episode was "stupid". Again why as already stated do we need another cannon-fodder character rather than a new character. No explanation of what was Dredd's actual mission just a 6 episode wilderness chase scene.

In terms of shock value, though, this is perhaps as shocking as Liz Truss saying almost anything to anyone.

Last post by Jacqusie - 07 May, 2024, 08:24:00 PMQuote from: IndigoPrime on 04 May, 2024, 07:51:30 PMCould have been supporting cast. Could have grown. But no: dead. Yet another in the long, long, long list.
I was thinking of why some of the strips in Dredd's world and in 2000AD have worked so well and it comes down to character development and building personalities around a central figure, who with Dredd, isn't really all that interesting.
The Pit was a great example of this as John Wagner introduced us to a diverse cast who we really engaged with as did Necropolis with the Cadets, McGruder & Anderson.
Rob Williams has also given birth to a wonderful range of personalities, most notably in Low Life and some of the supporting cast in Dredd and MC1 have been the kind of characters you can get behind... before they all pretty much die.
It might be quite funny when in the script writing room, but I see this as such a waste and takes too much away from the story. Ok they are Judges, it's dangerous, we get it, but readers like familiarity and people we can return to over and over again to get to know and love.
Someone mentioned cancelling their subscription recently, I've done the same, I don't get much from stories like this now, Dredd's world has shrunk and despite the Editors wanting him to live for another 20 years (that's another story) I just don't enjoy these stories as I once did. I find myself getting winsome for the Wagner days and I'm not as excited as most on here by the new artists and writers, so perhaps it's a good time to bow out after 36 years.
Maybe Mr Williams could kill off another significant character in the Dredd universe and I would definetly pay to see that... I suspect that if he could get away with it, he would.

How can we not be angered by these people? They write "laws" to bind us and ignore any that bind them. Disgusting.
Fortunately, the ICC doesn't seem to be in any hurry to back down,

Events / Re: Lawless 2024
Last post by Doomlord66 - 07 May, 2024, 06:04:48 PMI'm still weighing up whether I can make this one. I'd like to as I've only ever been to one before and that was Bristol 2008. Back then at that one, I managed to get a lot of stuff signed and some good sketches - Dredd by Boo, Dredd by D'Israeli, Dredd by Dylan Teague and Nik Dante by John Burns so I'd love to get some more to add to those.
