Last post by sintec - 24 May, 2024, 05:08:08 PMThat sounds like a bleak place Jade. Hope you've managed to get some better sleep. Have been up and down a lot myself recently and I know poor quality sleep has definitely been a factor in that.

I saw "Drown & Out". Newsthump had fun with "Rishi Sunak still not dry".

Last post by Funt Solo - 24 May, 2024, 04:51:02 PMOne has to assume that this is not how they wanted things to play out (re. Regened), so they're making the best of a bad hand. Like Devlin, they're making a good fist of it.
In terms of the economics (re. the idea that they could cut out a bunch of stuff and still have it be viable), I assume the bean counters at Reb-Central know their shit from their Shinola.
Lastly, cast your minds back to March 2000, and Megazine 3.63. After two years of Preacher reprint (and Daily Star Dredd, with only one new story per issue), we were heading for a relaunch. The event was marked by a Wagner-scripted Dredd analogy of the Megazine's woes: J.D. Megson: A Near-Death Experience. "Half of it's recycled - old fittings they picked up cheap from Ennis Dillon Conapts."
Twenty-four years later, it's still standing.

They missed a trick by not announcing this merger with a "Great news for all our readers" headline.

Last post by nxylas - 24 May, 2024, 02:54:53 PMAm I the only person who wishes they would lower the page count and ditch the filler? I guess there must be some economic reason for preferring a 132-page magazine padded out with creaky old Robot Archie strips to a 64-page magazine (or whatever it would be with all the reprints and text features taken out) with all-new material.
