Happy birthday, HoU!

34 is good - you'll enjoy it.

Finally managed to buy this prog yesterday, and then got my first sub this morning - so it's twice as thrilling.

Dredd - great opener, and Flint is one of my favourites.
 
Cabs - this has never really done it for me, and particularly not the Hammer Horror theme, so I'm glad it's over. Giving someone a big gun and a funny accent doesn't count as characterisation in my book.

Asylum - great art, where's the plot?

Robohunter - weaker episode this week, but the whole Samantha Slade thing is working well. Gibson either seems to go for superb micro-detailed backgrounds or none at all, but I'll take the whiteouts to get the body expo pictures.
And can anyone explain - what use is a robotic cigar?

SD - excellent stuff, but distracting continuity issues: why does Wulf stop in the middle of running to the rescue to put his longjohns on?

And the Dreddcon plug, just to rub it in if you've started a new job and can't get the time off.

Thanks, Trout. Looks like mail order is the new order. I used to live 5 mins from the comics shop in Swansea, and it's one of the things I miss most.

I went into the Dundee shop a while back, and they certainly are creepy.

I'm supposed to be saving money by living out in the sticks. Still, needs must.

I've just moved from the city (Swansea - good comics shop, plenty of newsagents) to Scotland (Fife), and as well as having my regular comics supply cut off, it's a tooth dead zone! How do people manage here? WHS (the only local stockist)don't get their delivery till *Thursdays*, and when I mentioned the Meg, they shook their heads and claimed never to have seen it.  

Subs here I come.

(And they have this weird thing called 'early closing'. How 50s.)

OK - a quick intro to what I've been bottling up while lurking:

We need more real aliens in comics. Sin/Dex is crud. A strip with a talking cigar in it is an insult to the intelligence. VCs is much better than people make out. Too many six- or eight- episode strips are over-stretched and run out of steam after two or three episodes. Asylum - what's the point?

No, I feel like everyone is looking at me.

Hi everyone! I've been lurking for a while, but the Trout has flushed me out of hiding.


feridian

I'm all dizzy - one minute you're lurking quietly, drifting along with the flow, the next Trout outs you and you're iconed-up and posting!

Thanks Cybermax

feridian

..and thanks!

feridian

How can you do that so fast?

Drokk! How does this work?!http://img33.exs.cx/my.php?loc=img33&image=croc.jpg">

Cybermax, any chance of an icon for me too? Here's a suitably feridian-like image.
