Reading along with you guys is the closest we’ll ever get to experiencing this stuff for the first time: can’t wait for you to get to the rest of this story.
Just wondering if the 2000AD shop has ever discounted the digital editions of The Complete Judge Dredd Case Files?
I've the physical editions up to 17, but I'm hoping at some stage to collect them all digitally as well.
Its fascinating that folks are so opposed to this. I understand the idea that interrupting ongoing runs would be bad, but the issues suggested, I'd guess, of course I don't know, will be at natural relaunch points.
As for the stories lets wait and see. While we do lets not forget that many of the stories hailed in these parts from the early days are aimed at kids cos 2000ad was a kids comic. So to be opposed to these stories on principle of who they are aimed at seems odd in my eyes. Anyone who is a fan of stories from the first 500 issues (we can wrangle about the specifics later) is a fan of kids comics.
I don't think you can seriously compare the tone of some of the stuff that we had in the first 500 progs with that of a 2020 all-ages comic.
We're also not 12 (delete age as applicable), the memories and nostalgia we have of those stories are all tied up in our childhoods. Something that's new doesn't have that.
I always find the statement '...can't seriously compare' or similar a funny one as to compare is to pull out the contrasts not just the similarity. Anyway I'm being petunlant and unfair to Steve there.
The point I was trying to make was not that it will be the same as the first 500 issues, I wouldn't want it to be... well I would be we shouldn't... as we have those. The point I was trying to make was to dismiss something because you are not its direct audience is odd to me. A well crafted comic tale, be it aimed at child, or whomever is a well crafted comic tale and can be enjoyed as such. I site the first 500 issues as examples of just that. That isn't driven by nostalgia alone, but appreciation of good craft and storytelling for many who enjoy those stories there is no nostaglia. Just as a good kids movie is a good movie. A good kids book is a good book... etc etc
