I enjoyed that as well, particularly the discussion about the nature of violence in comics. It's particularly an issue in the film adaptations. I've got a quite few concerns about the way Marvel markets to younger viewers.

Yet ANOTHER progless Saturday  :-(    its happening far too often here in cal-hab, Ayrshire district ) 

This squaxx is not amused  at the poor service by the royal mail  :-(

Mine arrived in NE Cal-Hab on Saturday, so sounds like it is a problem with your local service.

My copy also had the problem with 1 and 6 on Lawless.

That's certainly an "ambitious" price.

It works for me.

Will you be selling signed copies via post as before, Dan?

Speculating on some of the cuter Episode VIII rumours (POSSIBLE MAJOR SPOILER[spoiler]intelligent puffin natives on Ach'too[/spoiler]) with the Boy during our morning run yesterday, I was struck afresh by the fear that this Mature Readers! take on SW is all that the 'fans' will accept from now on. Which, fun as Rogue One is, would be awful.

I totally agree. I watched Rogue One with my nephew and, while he enjoyed it, it's certainly not a child-friendly film. I worry that the internet has made the opinion of moody teenage boys too powerful. Not everything has to be "dark" or knowing. Sometimes things can just be fun. Of course 2000AD has struggled with this historically as well.

I'm enjoying Hope for the Future. It's a welcome change of pace, tone and art style to the rest of the prog.

Kingmaker is shaping up to be excellent as well.

VCs in the floppy. The seemingly never ending SinDex run is over.

He always came across as an honest and decent guy and was one of the few pundits worth listening to.

Young Death's tone veers wildly between horror and slapstick/comedy. In other words it's perfect for Wagner and Doherty. Definitely worth a read.

The writer went on to do a few fill-in issues of Spawn.

Is that the same guy that did the Badrock Vs. Violator miniseries? Nothing like an apprenticeship in the House of Tharg to set you up for the Big Three!

And an issue of Vigilante. I wonder what became of him?

State-funded eternal life seems like a pretty big perk that potentially undermines that principle completely: makes a bit of nookie or a backhander seem trivial.

Although as I think we discussed in the aftermath of Carousel, perhaps an endless life of 24 hour days with no prospect of release is the greatest sacrifice imaginable. Sssstory possibilitiessss galore and all that.

Judges seem to have an absurdly high mortality rate.  Rejuve wouldn't be much of a perk.

Needs a few random pictures of objects photoshopped in for the full "90s Dave McKean cover" effect.

Not sure what this talk of soft reboots after mega-epics is all about - having a long story doesn't mean everything has been rebooted, it means that the major events in the story had consequences.

I agree. "Soft reboot" sounds like a complete misunderstanding of what both the comic and character are.
