That's a great find Norton.

Beautiful work Pictsy. A lovely feel of Monet about it.

[Dredd]

I'm enjoying this Dredd story. Will Simpson does good chaos. His combat scenes on the last two pages are particularly energetic and frenetic. Compare that with Ben Wilshire's Durham Red art work which is at the opposite end of the spectrum: tightly choreographed and beautifully draughted.

It sums up what I love about the prog that only a page turn separates these two styles. Both of these stories are working for me for different reasons. 

Slaine is thoroughly enjoyable. Pat Mills is on a roll here, and Manco's art is fantastic. I love his full page bleed with floating panels.

Proteus Vex has to be top thrill for me at the moment: a bonkers storyline, brilliant characters, great dialogue, lovely art.

I love these. Are you handcrafting them or generating them somehow?
Either way the results are gorgeous.

Ah here, Ron Smith without a doubt.

I'm going for craftsmanship on this occasion: Cliff Robinson

I have to go with Simon Coleby. His evolution has been fascinating.

To get the USA on board I'd go for the all conquering Harlem Heroes. They do like their winning teams. Take your sporting hero and put in Inferno and we obviously know where Giant's blood line leads.
You could also throw in Mean Arena for more future sporting carnage.

"All or Nothing: Harlem Heroes". Amazon need to commission this straightaway.

"Mummy's Boy" in Buster, although I believe it started in Monster Fun, (in which every other story related to some kind of actual 'monster'), so maybe the sinisterness was intentional.

Well done MIK. I was wracking my brains on this one over the weekend.

[The Terror]

I will never - NEVER - forgive you lot for not highlighting The Terror sooner.

Binged Season 1 there on the (amusingly named) RTE Player over the weekend.
Fuckin hell, what a show.

Thanks for the heads-up. I didn't realise it was available there.

Some elevator pitches for Netflix tv shows to get the MCU (Mega City Universe) rolling:

Al's Baby - "Pregnant Tony Soprano. Bada bing, bada boom!"
PJ Maybe - "Dexter Howser, M.D."
Cadet Dredd - "The Inbestigators with mild violence!"
The Helltrekkers - "Star Trek in the Wild West" (geddit?)

All of these would lead inexorably to:
Dredd 2
Fargo: The First Dredd
Dredd 3
Death: The Dark Judge
Armageddon: The Nuclear Winter
Justice Department: Civil War
Hershey: Far From Home

As for a Noam Chimpsky sitcom; am I the only one who hears the Seinfeld bass guitar riff whenever I imagine this?

Lordy...
On the basis of who's collected editions I can reach from my current location without having to stand up I will say Dave Gibbons.
