General / Sideshow Vote: Igor, are you a loyal servant?

« on: 23 March, 2022, 03:36:55 AM »

Now we all started reading the prog a different time, some of us left and came back to the fold. So, what type of reader are you? Are you one of those golden boys who started reading at the very beginning? Or did you start and then left and returned? Or started but never left? So how loyal reader are you?
-   I was there at the beginning and here I am still reading
-   I was there at the beginning and lapsed but I am back
-   I started in the 70s and I am still reading
-   I started in the 70s and lapsed but I am back
-   I started in the 80s and I am still reading
-   I started in the 80s and lapsed but I am back
-   I started in the 90s and I am still reading
-   I started in the 90s and lapsed but I am back
-   I started in the rebellion years, and I am still reading
-   I started in the rebellion years, and lapsed but I am back
-   Well to be honest I read the prog on and off
-   Well, I only get the collections
-   Never heard of the prog but it sounds cool

For the fun factor that is if the grey matter still can play along what was your first prog? and if you lapsed which was your returning prog?

General / Sideshow Vote: Wow you look good for your age

« on: 09 March, 2022, 03:39:32 AM »

Many characters in the world of Dredd have been around for a long time. We also know that the world of Dredd is moving along time no reboots (thank you for that Tharg) or re-imaging of the world (thank you again for that Tharg).

So, what are we voting about this round it is quite simple we are revering to a certain PSI Judge’s age Cassandra Anderson? The question do you believe that the way she is “illustrated” should reflect her age or not:
-   Yes, let’s see her as a mature woman
-   No, let the artist/writer have free reign
-   Do not care, I just read the stories
