I never tire of saying this, but the extraordinarily erotic The Amazing Maze Dumoir.  To my young eyes it was a sort of comics version of Some Like it Hot crossed with Penthouse Forum.

And it was reprinted in the 1989 sci-if special, which has a bit of a risque cover- making my little cheeks blush twice (buying it from the female newsagent, and my Gran asking me what I was reading in a slightly concerned tone) :)

Ah come on Trout, there's no personal attacks in that post- I love Wagner & Ezquerra's stuff about 99.9% of the time, with a slim margin of error.

I'll re-summarise my position- I personally liked 'The Final Solution' & Stontium Dogs more than any of the three 'Life & Death of Johnny Alpha' books.

Time will tell if there is more to the 'resurrection' story than is currently apparent, but from what I've read so far, I can't see that happening.
Everyones entitled to an opinion, and if other readers are enjoying this storyline, then Grud bless 'em.

it'd be a bit odd if Wagner just killed him off again.

Quite frankly, it'd be disgraceful.
This storyline has shat all over a lot of other work (by Grant, Ennis, Hogan and Abnett- all well written stories IMO) and the established continuity since 1990.
I wouldn't mind so much if this new series was mind-boggling good, but I can honestly say its not. Its tepid and mediocre at best. And I'd feel the same way if it was 1986.

I'm not having a go at Wagner (or Ezquerra), both of whom have provided some of the finest reading experiences in my life (and continue to Thrill, particularly with Dredd) but I genuinely get the impression that this series was commissioned to allow its creators have their final say with its main character- not due to the undeniable desire to tell one last great Johnny Alpha story.

For me, Johnny died in Prog 686.
And Tharg's integrity diminished ever so slightly in Prog 1689.

Could be worse Klute...I've to pay the exchange rate banking charge and Amazon don't deliver for free outside the UK.
As for actual shops: Dublin still has Tower Records for the less mainstream titles, but they're robbin b@stards, so I may as well succumb to the unbendible will of my Amazonian overlord.

QuoteAnd just how old was Purity Brown when she started bonking a demonic human-murderer with a horses head?

That was one of the things that went over my head.  For a long time I thought they were just good friends.  Who did Terrry eat, by the way?  Don't remember that bit. 
There was also Zenith more-or-less [spoiler]shagging his ma[/spoiler] in Phase 2.

If memory serves, Terri started chomping on the bodies of some of the bad-guys that were perusing the Warriors in the time tunnels. She was taught to do it as an efficient means of recycling.
Classic Toothy moment where Hammerstein is disgusted by it, and Blackblood nonchalantly declares that "they're a valuable source of protein".

And yeah, Zenith shagged his ma and a young Ruby Fox in the kinda ménage a trois that you just don't expect to be exposed to at the age of 12.

My older cousin told me what that FOAD graffiti meant...I was completely oblivious!
I was always shocked by Terri's casual cannibalism in that story too.

"Rouge" Trooper?

Interesting is not the word. And I imagine he would have a fairly exotic fanbase, lol !

I dunno...having Jessica Chastain & Jennifer Lawrence portraying a sexually ambiguous Venus & Rafe I may be persuaded to part with a few Groats...

It might be a good idea to hire private security to keep him away from Greggs too, by the look of this.

Drokk you for making me watch that wretched f*cking clip Sauchie!  :lol:

Would you believe that I've seen some petrol stations in Dublin selling Tim Hortons goodies?
Probably not the same as the Canuck stuff though...

Cheers Colin.
I think the Williams Droid has been crafting some very good Dredd's as of late, so looking forward to that.

It always comes back to Greggs with you people.

As if you never considered moving to London just to be near one!
