A good solid prog with both Hook Jaw and Skip Tracer ending next week.

Dredd – With all the role-players and plot lines introduced the battle for hart of the simps can start. Niemand weaves an interesting story with some good art by Steve Austin.

Stickelback – As the battle for London is fought by the goliaths the outcome is watch by all interest parties. This episode is all about the battle, but this might only be a setup by mister Holmes to commence the next sequence in the fight.

Hook Jaw – Action packed, violence and blood-fest from start to end. The wonderful, rendered splash-page sums up this episode. Leigh' art is such a highlight in this episode I almost forgot about Alec's great script.

Skip Tracer – The story is almost done, and we are setup for the final confrontation. As always, the story is quite readable and still feels like we are back in the 80s.

Fiends – The fantasy elements are still heavy in the story. The story continues to intrigue and are wonderfully told by Edginton. Tiernen's art continues to impress.

Does this prog even exist?

Maybe not on paper but as signals or data expressed as series of the digits 0 and 1

That's a smashing cover - no prog here yet. Glad to see Matt has proceeded to the next round of the Favourite CURRENT poll.

Another terrific wee prog, everything works.

I'd make particular note of the following:

- Edginton and Campbell sneak some very naughty words into this week's luminous Stickleback. Very naughty indeed.

- You know when you read a story about a giant shark, and you don't really get to see the shark properly for like 7 episodes, getting weird hybrid monster versions, and odd blurry glimpses instead,  and you think, well maybe sharks just aren't as interesting as they were in the '70s,  or maybe the artist just doesn't want to draw sharks?  Well, this isn't that story. Wow.

- Check out that opening panel in Dredd. Fab teamwork from Austin and Blythe.

Not guilty! All inter-dimensional eldritch horror's dialogue is the artist's own!

Translation please I am not well versed with inter-dimension beings language

I'll just leave this here. You'll see why I thought Jim must be the culprit.

That would only have happened if Bey had been facing off against an interdimensional Pete Wells, although he'd probably have shouted:

Somewhere in a box are a set of letters my teenage GF and I use to write to each other in Dwarfish Runes (as set out by Tolkien in the front of The Hobbit).

[Something Fishy]

Has this had a delay this week?  no sign of it and it's very rarely not here by release day.

Well, I'm quite proud of myself - I managed to work it out without having seen your transcription or knowing what script it was.  But I probably wouldn't have tried if you hadn't mentioned the naughty words - I once got a week's ban here for calling Nigel Farage one of them
