Film & TV / Re: New Doctor Who series
Last post by The Legendary Shark - 11 May, 2024, 09:38:43 PMThere's a good idea at the core of this episode, and some of the pips are juicy, but the flesh is rotten.

Film & TV / Re: New Doctor Who series
Last post by nxylas - 11 May, 2024, 09:15:00 PMIt was bad, but not bad enough for me to stop watching. The frenetic pacing annoyed me, but Ncuti and Millie were great, and there were some good bits mixed among the panto stuff. I can do without the musical numbers, though.

Film & TV / Re: New Doctor Who series
Last post by Jim_Campbell - 11 May, 2024, 08:53:46 PMIt is a kids' show. I didn't like the new first episode... I couldn't even get to the end. But I've made my peace with that — I'd rather kids grew up watching Dr Who and loving it than having them make the show for fifty-plus-year-old-men like me. If that means that old farts like me stop watching it (and I have, now) then that's better, IMO, than the reverse...

Dredd plus Lawmaster equals DAKKA DAKKA VROOM VROOM...
Judge Dredd Mega-Special #5 (1992; Sean Phillips) - rather than use the onboard armament, Dredd's just using the bike to get him close enough to day-stick the punks. To be honest, this looks a bit like he's mown down some fashion victims from Miami. Loud shirt - three months, creep! This cover was special because the grey bits are actually metallic silver.
---
Hit the Sked (prog 1815; 2013; Darren Douglas) - again, has the slight appearance of Dredd just going on an extra-judicial rampage during a frustrating commute. His pose on the bike is a little uncanny valley, but points for having someone's teeth being ground out on the skedway.
---
Crash Course I (prog 1957; 2015; Jake Lynch) - a proper homage, this one. We've got pat wagons from Block Mania, a Manta Prowl Tank providing air support, Johnny Vegas block as a backdrop and Dredd once again opting for day-stick carnage. Oh, what a lovely day!
---
Summary Justice (prog 2239; 2021; Stewart Kenneth Moore) - a little busy, this one. Is it that the descendants of The Human Torch have turned to a life of crime? Positives: wheel goes squish.
---
Crash Course II (prog 2373; 2024; Stewart Kenneth Moore) - what Dredd thinks of seminal manga. Also: why is the tree hologram not there in the published version? Was it there on the printed one?

Film & TV / New Doctor Who series
Last post by rogue69 - 11 May, 2024, 08:01:59 PMWhat the hell have they done to Doctor Who? They have turned it into a really bad kids program that's clearly made for an American audience these are easily the 2 episodes ever!
Are they trying to kill it off like the Sylvester McCoy series

Last post by castle4 - 11 May, 2024, 07:15:27 PMIf we are done at 180, then presumably 148 is the Order, leaving one volume to guess (146).
I hope it's Strontium Dog the Star Lord years, plus any remaining straggler stories not yet collected.
Of course, there may be another 21 volumes to guess...
When are we likely to find out? When I first joined this forum a year or so ago, I started at page 1 and read all of the posts, and no, I don't recommend it! But I seem to recall messages at the time each of the expected final volumes came out, the first indication was often within Diamond Distributions solicitations for the following months showing the continuation, before anything was released by Hatchette.

Anyone else seeing this?
I wasn't going to open my copy yet, but one glance at your photo made me reconsider. Glad to confirm mine is fine, with intact endsheets.

Last post by Trooper McFad - 11 May, 2024, 06:56:44 PMHoagy both are great and I think the poses are what makes them stand out. Favourite is the Dredd cross armed one and I know it could be any judge but in my head this is Dredd doing a gansta rap music vid.
