They've arrived! Thanks, Thargy-boy, that's my weekend sorted.

Still nothing here. I'm starting to fret that the postie's had away with it.

Loved this week, apart from the return of SinDex which is ho-hum at best. Dredd was exceptional; so much detail in the art, so many nods to past stories (my favourite being the child assassin's Fergee doll), and a script as good as Wagner himself could produce. Great stuff.

Where are we after issue 2? Is that the end of series 1 or do I need to get the third in order to have the full picture? I've read series 2 in the prog, but there seems to be a gap in the story - the loss of the diary etc - that I'm not sure is deliberate or not.

Hot on the heels of the Spectator piece we now have Brass Sun being praised in the Guardian.

That's good to know. I didn't want to be a grumbler, but I was getting worried my order had been lost. I look forward to comicy goodness soon.

Has anyone's sale goodies actually arrived yet? I expected some delay given the likely sale rush, but it's been ages now.

Your a pedant. 

Is it any good, then? My FLGS now has it in and it is tempting me with its shininess. Should I?

I got Too Cool to Kill and loved it, so I'm looking forward to 3 lots more. I'm sure I'll manage with the continuity jumps, and I can read it all in order at a later date when I've picked the others up. Does anyone know whether they're going to appear on ios anytime soon? I know digital copies are available on the future store, so it shouldn't be too difficult.

Has The Dead been done yet?

I missed the whole of Dante, so I'm delighted to have picked up three volumes at a bargain price.

A slight thread highjack, but I can't see where else to ask. I'm thinking of starting with the Meg once more but am inclining towards a digital subscription. I assume that means I'll miss out on the supplements, but I don't know for sure. Who can clear it up for me?

I have a fear that it's heading down the Sector House 9 route. I hope to be proved wrong next week.

I loved The Haunting of Sector House 9

So did I, but I want Traumatown to be it's own story, not a reprise of a classic.

A bit of a mixed bag for me. I'm not normally a fan of Slaine, but this series has really won me over so I was a bit disappointed by the continuity gaps that have been highlighted above. Not bad, but not up to the tight scripting that the rest of the series has shown. I felt the recent ABC Warriors series had the opposite problem in that it was woolly and meandering for the most part but drew it together for a strong finish.

Dredd is one that could go either way. It's a story with great potential and it's beautifully drawn, but I have a fear that it's heading down the Sector House 9 route. I hope to be proved wrong next week.
