Prog / Re: Prog 2382: Beware Iron Tee...
Last post by norton canes - Today at 11:41:23 AMYeah it's a thrill-powered five out of five this week, made even more impressive by each strip being so spectacularly different. Interesting quote from Dredd in the aftermath of 'A Better World':
"Forget personal independence. Compliant and obedient - that's what makes good cits."
It's almost like the Dredd scripting hydra's heads are really talking to each other.

Books & Comics / Re: SPACEWARP - New Venture fr...
Last post by IndigoPrime - Today at 09:57:36 AMLooking online, there was quite a backlash against his Roger the Dodger, which I think says more about the sensibilities of old fart parents than children. Lots of "this isn't the Roger I knew". Well, yes. It was much funnier and sillier, but still smart and mischievous. By comparison, the current Roger feels very safe and a bit dull. (Mind you, that in itself might not be the worst thing. The Beano has its own voice and feel, and that's neatly countered by The Phoenix, which to some degree fills the IPC/Fleetway equivalent from when I was a kid – more anarchic.)
As for The Dandy, perhaps that in the long run was a good thing, in giving DCT some razor-sharp focus. The Beano seems to be on reasonably firm ground these days, and The Dandy survives to some degree with the annuals. (I don't really count the specials, which are mostly reprint and staggeringly expensive for what they are.) They also just started flirting with Zoom, presumably following on from The Phoenix doing the same. Although the first Beano session was weirdly long and weirdly late in the day. I'm not sure how many of the target audience would be fully attentive during a 75-minute(!) video that didn't start until 7pm. Maybe Scottish kids have later bedtimes or something.

To be honest it might be a little to sit down at a table to be as much fun as hanging out at the bar has always been at cons I've been to in the past has been. But sounds like it could be a blast for those who have got tickets.

Last post by Barrington Boots - Today at 08:25:19 AMNo evening do for me I'm afraid mate, I didn't fancy dressing up! I'll catch you after for some drinks in the bar?
Looking forward to meeting some of you guys for the first time!
Last couple of years I've worn my heavy metal jacket for easy identification but it's hot and heavy for going round a con, so I'll tag up what I'm wearing on the day. I'm sure I'll be easy to find in a room full of similar-looking men.
