As Lenny Zero doing well and nice to see it back, with new story of The Simping Detective on the way!
As there was returns of Fresh and Strontium Dog  ...
I was read a old graphic book today, The Ballad of Halo Jones, it's brilliant! Wish for book 4 to that!

Any old 2000ADs you want comeback?

Shako! Clint Langley, or another artist going for a similar 'photo-real dynamism' in the art, and lots of gore to cause some public angst!

Rogue Trooper, the original, Friday or even a new reboot i dont mind.

Although I haven't really missed it now it's gone, I remember really liking Dead Set at the time, and hoping for more when it finished. An interesting twisty mind bending premise. A sequel needs to be done right though so as to not to fall into cliché territory.

They tried that. It wasn't very good. Sorry to all involved, but... yeah.

Whatever you think of Alan Moore and his stance on creators' rights, it's to 2000ad's credit that we were never treated to Mark Millar's Book 4, where Halo is resurrected as a hard-as-nails cyborg.  Or Zenith: before Maximan, for that matter.

There's no reason why anyone couldn't write decent new Rogue Trooper stories, and I'm sure there's a number of great artists who'd kill to illustrate them, but that's been tried so many times- and failed- that it seems better to let it lie. I'm sure that if the proposed film ever materialises, market forces mean someone else will be given a go.

Generally speaking though, I'd rather read a new idea that doesn't quite work than something that relies on thirty year old memories to make it work. Having said all that, I can't think of a single reason why Pat Mills is hawking Marshal Law round other publishers when Kev O'Neil's art and 2000ad were made for each other.

They did. I suspect the character ran its course when he caught the one-armed man - er, I mean the Traitor General.

The return of GFD at Christmas was pretty good, but (just IMO) there's not much life left in Rogue.

Emperor

Tyranny Rex, Necronauts, Sancho Panzer and some more I'm sure.

[edit: Brigand Doom!!]
if I went 'round saying I was an Emperor just because some moistened bint had lobbed a scimitar at me, they'd put me away!
