Prog / Re: Prog 2383: Blood Work
Last post by Colin YNWA - 18 May, 2024, 09:39:30 PMWell after we had set up last Prog we get pay off and how this week.
Dredd brilliant stuff. For me Dredd here works, cutting to the case and being dick as he's all about the crackin' on is very Dredd. Loved this one.
Intestanauts well its always been fun, but this one double downed on the fun!
3riller - Blue skies over Deadwick like a lot of 3rillers we kick off with a blinder. Engaging imaginataive and just superb. The trick with these things is keepin' it up and sticking the landing but David Baillie has good form havinf written my favourite ever 3riller so I'm optimistic.
Brink - I mean its brilliant is it. And am I over reading things by seeing Halo Jone and Toy page 1 panel 5?
Proteus Vex - I mean it runs Brink close its that good. Wow loved it - why is this ending!
Superb Prog.

Film & TV / Re: New Doctor Who series
Last post by IndigoPrime - 18 May, 2024, 09:34:09 PMGood grief. That was like a totally different show tonight. Fortunately, it was a much better one. But the tonal whiplash is quite something. Back to RTD next week, though, and so I'll set my expectations accordingly. Nicely done by Moffat this week though.

Creative Common / Re: Does my Art look big in th...
Last post by Nightbook - 18 May, 2024, 07:13:22 PMThanks Jay, that's kind of you to say so. 
I have something of a soft spot for Armitage. For whatever reason I find him a fun character to draw. I like the artwork in the new series but I'm not keen on the artist's take on Armitage himself. I think aesthetically it's diverged a bit too far from the original concept. He just looks like a fairly generic old guy now. I've not read the Megazine for a long time so this may not be a new development - but the cover art by John McCrea is a pretty on-point if stylised take so I don't know. The disconnect between character on the cover art and the one in the strip seems a bit odd (I know they're different artists but still).
Anyhoo, one more for luck:

Last post by Leigh S - 18 May, 2024, 06:45:20 PMN-AI-Mand leaning into Dick-Dredd with this one.
Does anyone "like" their Dredd to be such a wanker? I mean, he's a bastard, and he is morally dubious and I dont look up to him in a Garthy way, but when he is blowing his own trumpet about how cool he is it's just plain and simple unlikeable.
Make me hate Dredd by having him oppress the masses please, not having him having a daystick swinging competition with people he would recognise as useful allies.

A place in Space sometimes ballsed up my order.
Comic Biz were, in my experience, absolutely terrible.

Prog / Re: Prog 2382: Beware Iron Tee...
Last post by Funt Solo - 18 May, 2024, 04:35:20 PMReading the digital prog here, and Intestinauts is a struggle. A lot of the lettering is difficult to read. At 100%, the entire comic double-page spread can be viewed on my big monitor, and text is usually legible. Intestinauts needs double-magnification to read, because the lettering on the call-outs and building-alarm-voices is ... not good.
I don't know much about lettering, but aren't those I's just not really fit for purpose?

Prog / Re: Prog 2383: Blood Work
Last post by IndigoPrime - 18 May, 2024, 03:13:48 PMHard to argue with that. In all, this was a fantastic comic. It's issues like this that make me quite cross more people aren't reading 2000 AD.
Dredd ramped up the horror and intrigue. The last page was chilling and creepy. The so-far silent enemy is leagues ahead of anything Judge Death has been in recently.
Intestinauts was fantastic. That CYOA section was imaginative and chaotic. Everything about this was great.
The 3riller showcased great imagination and craft on the part of its creators, but also how 2000 AD just burns through great material. In the US, these pages would have been well over 20. Maybe more. But what a wonderful start. I hope it sticks the middle and the landing.
Brink continues to be brilliant. Again, it's five pages of mostly talking heads, and yet relentlessly compelling.
And then things finish off with a history lesson of sorts on Proteus Vex, which is just superb.

QuoteIt might not be its finest but it is damned close to be sure.Indeed. For all people wanging on about the good old days of 2000 AD, here we have a Prog with only one 'classic' strip and yet five grade-A crackers. Top work, everyone involved!
