Saturday Prog!
Dredd still absolutely rules, I am hugely invested in this story. The Domo stuff looks to be more or less wrapped up, but I don't think it is for a second, especially with boyd-controlling snuffbots being highlighted last week. Meanwhile Maitland really shines this week. Instead of being a passive character whilst the story awaits for Dredd to either save her or meet her end, as soon as she gets suspicious of Hernandez she basically works it all out straight away and takes steps to resolve. I think Hernandez is in trouble, and it looks like there's still a reveal to come.
The English Astronaut wraps. This felt a bit slight overall, accentuated by the art with its large panels and open backgrounds, but also an easy and enjoyable read. Not 100% sure I followed the ending but that doesn't matter.
Full Tilt Boogie also felt like a slight read this week with a lot of big, sprawling panels and light dialogue, but some terrific scenery on display and I'm still digging this.
Enemy Earth finale. I'm not unhappy this is done, but at the same time the ending did feel a bit quick - not Black Hole or Meltdown Man rushed, but I think it could have paced itself better? I hated this series when it started and although I never got into the art, on a reread I ended up finding it a decent, breathless read with soem good ideas, so the last couple of pages definitely worked for me.
Thistlebone remains fantastic. Callum looks doomed. That last panel- magnificently creepy! Can't get enough of this.
