Predicto: [spoiler]Middenface is going to give his life to the stone wizards to resurrect Johnny Alpha. [/spoiler]

Hmmmmmm maybe, just maybe....

Nice summary of the situation from our own Grant Goggins

thanks to that excellent double page splash it took milliseconds to read this weeks episode. :-(

but what a double splash page! magnificent.

Yeah meant to say its was bloody lovely. Yeowell really is knocking it out of the park with this Red Seas story, more so even than normal. Bloody great.

[BANG]

Well well well that was certainly a turn up for the books.

What a chuffing brillant Prog, that is of course no surprise at all. Dredd builds really well on last week and has a wonderfully chilling cliffhanger. Red Seas delievers on the action promised last week with a BANG. And speaking of bangs Savage likewise delievers on its promises and manages to do so with an even bigger BANG. All three are wonderful wonderful stuff.

Likewise Sinister Dexter turns things up a notch and it looks as if all the talking and double dealing is over and the gun play is about to start. Bit of a shame that as this has been a great story I've really enjoyed the politics of the crimelordss and bosses. Still great fun and I suspect a twist in the tale, I think [spoiler]Carrie didn't say a word of that conversation from the other room, I reckon its Sinister Dexter making sure things play out away from Downlobe itself.[/spoiler] Just a guess.

And then the big talking point of the Prog. The turn of events in Strontium Dog caught me completely off guard. I felt pretty uncomfortable with Middenface's actions, at first it felt a little out of character, but then its been clear that he isn't the man he used to be and he got the job done the best way he could. John Wagner wrote his reaction to what happened brillantly. Brillant brillant stuff.

Better than great Prog

So like can you giz a clue when... ohhhhh go on.... I know my wife really feels I need another 2000ad related tee shirt to wear about town!

Hello and welcome aboard - have fun

He certainly does remember when he went through that androgynus (why I've tried to spell that I'll never know!) phase

Anyway welcome aboard and have fun. IF you like Dredd you'll love what the rest of the Prog has to offer... androgynus editors and all.

Second half of this great interview with Grant Morrison talks about the movie he is writing and it sounds really really interesting. Skip to 9 minutes in if you don't want to hear Grant talk about his Batman stuff (well worth listening to but just in case)

Great interview with Mr Morrison here. Starts off with Batman Inc but then also talks a lot about his new movie which I have to say sounds very very interesting.

Edited as I forgot to say he has 2 years of Batman Inc planned - WAYHEY!!!!!

HAve to agree with Pete that the original hasn't aged well at all. Still a fun movie but for a film from 1990 its aged a lot worse than many others.

Welcome aboard - have fun

A sample page (I gave Rich Johnston a nudge about IP as he has worked with Edmund Bagwell and it worked):

Just seen this. It looks great. Another one I'm really rea... I'll not start again!

NO I mean REALLY REALLY (look capitals!)

Absolutely great news. James McKay is a great artist and he draws a mean dinosaur in 5 minutes flat. I'll try to get a picture of the one he did for me a couple of years ago on here.

REALLY looking forward to this. I mean REALLY!

I'd chuffing love one but I suspect Large 48 would track me down like a dog if I did!
