My copy still hasn't turned up! Who do we contact about missing sub copies these days...?

The email addresses remain the same - shop@2000adonline.com and subshelp@2000adonline.com

The phone number for subscription enquiries and lost issues has changed to 01865 797 022, the details have changed on the online shop and I'm sure the new PICKLZ droid will be delighted to help you.

Nicely warm and fuzzy anniversary Prog. Most of the stories are fluff but stellar art throughout lifts the whole package. The highlight for me would be O'Neill's Nemesis, which is absolutely sublime. Any of the artists providing the linking pages would be welcome back in my Prog but it's McNeil, McMahon and Cook who impress the most.

Of the stuff which isn't just there for the big round number, I'm not too enthused by Rogue/Traitor General. I think Rennie's spin-offs are far better than their inspiration and would rather see more Jaegir or 86ers than Rogue himself. However, the focus on TG (did he ever have a name?) might be enough to freshen it up.

I liked Tharg's comment about the importance of ending on something new and I'm cautiously optimistic about Counterfeit Girl. Hopefully the infodump is over in the first episode and we can get into some more actual story. Contrary to the "Ewins" comment somewhere back in the thickets of this thread, I'd actually say this is the first time I've looked at Dayglo's art and not thought he was simply mimicking someone else's style.

I loved the Albion bad guys, a really memorable design.

2000 AD reports Prog 200 sold out. For pretty much anything on the newsstand these days, that's a big achievement.
Impressive. And it's only taken 35 years! ;)

Nah didn't get 2001 in Sheffield which is such a shame as I was really looking forward to seeing how they followed up the big celebration issue. Its an attractive line-up but guess I'll need to wait until Monday to find out how it goes down.

Apestrife

Picked it up at inf. beyond in Shrewsbury today just before the signing.

Great stories with a funny bubbleverse story inbetween.

Marveled at how good nemesis was. Brilliant all the way.

Dredd/Alpha team up was a good one. Fun one off. How their meet ups should be done. Same with Anderson and JD. Counterfit girl seems really promising, teally enjoyed the art.

Getting to meet and getting stuff signed by Edginton, Wagner and Winslade was a blast. Got all three to sign my prog, as well as Ian his stickleback sketch in the back of Vol 1, Wagner America and Rok of the red 1. Had a great time :)


DrRocka

Just got back from Shrewsbury myself, Apestrife (I was the guy in the cowboy hat) - what a brilliant afternoon! Lovely fellas, all three of 'em
Never ever bloody anything ever

Magnetica

No not got my Prog 2001 yet either. Guess with all the shenanigans around Prog 2000 they are a little behind (?).

No prog 2001 here, or for anyone I'd say given there's no thread for it yet.  :'(
