Contact your mp and ask them how many innocents killed in a nuclear fire would be too many.
I think I know the answer my MP would give already (in the last year he's become famous nationally and internationally and bears a resemblance to Ben Obi Wan Kenobi).

Of course, there's a possibility that one or two might get through, but this is fucking Russia we're talking about. Have you seen how those guys go to war? You think they're not OK with a little retaliatory damage on their side?

Still plugging away on post production.

If anyone is attending LFCC, they're showing Minty and we've provided a 50 second(ish) teaser for Strontium Dog.

Cheers

Steve
Is that the trailer that was being shown at the Southern Contingent the other day?

I must admit, the Arkwright Integral collection does look very tempting. An upgrade for this material would certainly be worth the purchase.
Does anyone know if it includes the first Arkwright story ('The Papist Affair')?

It's included in the Brainstorm collection, the only time it was reprinted to my knowledge.

I have a copy of the Papist Affair, but it isn't in the Brainstorm collection, as I don't own that.  The one I have is similar to the ARKeology comic, but a few years later, and printed in a more small-press manner (you couldn't mix it up with a publication from a mainstream publisher).

I was lucky enough to be on board the first time it was completed (the Valkyrie publication, as opposed to previous editions where the original story didn't get finished).  I'm not familiar with the Arkwright Integral edition so don't know what gets included in there - does it have the ARKeology material which was published just after Issue 9 of the Valkyrie Press Arkwright?  That had a sketch by Grant Morrison, amongst other things.

Heart of Empire - entirely different but still worth reading.  Can't imagine trying to stop reading the Adventures if it's all available in one book - bit like Maus in that respect.

Just in case it isn't ARKeology (incomplete).

Annoyed I missed the signing and gathering. I finished work and was toying with the idea of catching up with folks as I figured some of you would go for a meal. Then I fell asleep and woke up 23:45.

Might head into town and buy the Cursed Earth later today.
Good luck finding it anywhere - sold out appears to mean sold out (though do tell the board if you find any in Forbidden Planet or Orbital).

It was a disgusting affair. It was a good job that someone civilised showed up to add some class to the whole sordid gathering.
Was that before or after the bar manager / possible other punter told you us to put our shirts on (even though only one person didn't have a shirt on, and while you were putting a shirt on)?

After CF's generous offer I have 167 cards and have (by my reckoning) 133 to go.  Wonder what the tally shall be after I receive Ghost MacRoth's delivery?

Got my copy of the regular edition yesterday and it is a thing of beauty for sure. However, my cover seems to have been stuck on upside down - anyone else had this happen?

Given that the book has sold out I don't think there's anything I can do about it, and to be honest it doesn't prevent me from reading the book so who cares, it's just a curiosity.

Sure does make me yearn for some more early Dredd reprints with the colour centre spreads, though!
The person next to me in the queue at Gosh! today had one like that (as I saw while Mick was signing it).

Another great showing, and with welcome interlopers from the Northern Contingent and the Dredd Screening Drinking Club!

p.s. 167 cards down, 133 to go - thanks CF (though I am waiting for that delivery I told you about)!

Is there anybody with spares who's due to be at a Southern Contingent meeting in the near future?

I looked at your list and decided to just give you any doubles that I have, rather than go through the lot, so I'll be bringing 150 cards up this Saturday, so make sure you have a container  ;)
Message received!

Considering the dicking around over FCBD that 2000AD had to navigate, we should be thankful that we got both.

As I understand it, when the FCBD prog was shelved, the material was going to be rolled into the summer special, but then it was back on.

So it's possible that the special is 32 pages because of that.

Ah yes, the FCBD prog which was never sent to my local comic shop and which was swiftly stuck on ebay by, apparently, every other shop....mumble....grumble.....
Did you local comic shop order any copies?

Definitely time for me and the S.O. to brush up on our foreign languages (Berlin is nice this time of year - and will shortly be full of British tech ex-pats).
