I think in this weeks Thrill-Mail they actually said they were from the Eagle reprints

Blimey! Well, let's hope they don't follow the reprints too closely...!

Evidence of crimes against comics (or CAC) right there.

Bloke on bike was tactically inept. A showboater. They get you killed.

It just occurred to me that this might be a Dirty Harry reference. In The Enforcer, Callahan drives his car into a store in order to defeat the armed gang within.

Is this a modern writer distancing the character of Dredd from that of Dirty Harry?

Am I stretching?

Bugger. It's that kind of Toxic.

Ah, I made an assumption, and made an ass out of "U" and "umption".

[Thanks to The Long Kiss Goodnight for that joke.]

Yes, and I noticed that Gatwa looks nothing like original Doctor Tom Jones. The casting department need their eyes tested. Perhaps an optician can help?

I like the idea of ending on a deliberate high note, but it is a cool universe.

I've read Toxic before, but I don't remember much about it

Well, it started pretty strong:

From:

Star Wars - 1950's Super Panavision 70 makes me think of what I imagine a bad trip would be like, although if I was actually on 'shrooms I'd probably think this was the most genius thing I'd ever seen, and that the AI must've been tripping balls when it made it.

"Watch out, R2 - eyes are melting off faces!"

I did my best to collate all the Corann and Lesley Ryan stories.

What I think of as New Who is now over two decades old. There was a big US audience - my teaching demographic (high schoolers) knew all the lore. Now if I mention Doctor Who, I get "huh?"

Anyway - best of luck to the show. It's not been my cup of tea for an age. The last time I was really into watching, it was "unlimited rice pudding".

Edmund Bagwell using a pseudnym IIRC

Listed as Edmund Kitsune & Richard Preston.

Is Richard Preston a real person? Perhaps a colorist on this?

Dredd plus Lawmaster equals DAKKA DAKKA VROOM VROOM...


Judge Dredd Mega-Special #5 (1992; Sean Phillips) - rather than use the onboard armament, Dredd's just using the bike to get him close enough to day-stick the punks. To be honest, this looks a bit like he's mown down some fashion victims from Miami. Loud shirt - three months, creep! This cover was special because the grey bits are actually metallic silver.

Hit the Sked (prog 1815; 2013; Darren Douglas) - again, has the slight appearance of Dredd just going on an extra-judicial rampage during a frustrating commute. His pose on the bike is a little uncanny valley, but points for having someone's teeth being ground out on the skedway.


---

Crash Course I (prog 1957; 2015; Jake Lynch) - a proper homage, this one. We've got pat wagons from Block Mania, a Manta Prowl Tank providing air support, Johnny Vegas block as a backdrop and Dredd once again opting for day-stick carnage. Oh, what a lovely day!


---

Summary Justice (prog 2239; 2021; Stewart Kenneth Moore) - a little busy, this one. Is it that the descendants of The Human Torch have turned to a life of crime? Positives: wheel goes squish.



---

Crash Course II (prog 2373; 2024; Stewart Kenneth Moore) - what Dredd thinks of seminal manga. Also: why is the tree hologram not there in the published version? Was it there on the printed one?

Next: Ricardo Montage-ban...

Prog 2382 has a wrap-around cover!

Shit! I mean, "And so, the list grows!"

this forum needs a "Love" button

 

So, standard smoke and mirrors, or unexpected development?!

It might be someone that doesn't know. I was watching someone give a presentation on UX the other day, that didn't know what UX stood for. Fun presentation.
