Looks good Nightbook. Really got the toughness coming through. I wouldn't want to mess with your Armitage!

I love Brink!

Not sure about Halo Jones. I need a screen grab with a circle on it!

I like the way Bridget's hair is wafting about in zero-G, but Dougie's got that tight 'fro. Nice attention to detail. And people are just... floating around. I'm surprised Bridge hasn't seen gravity slums before on other habs. Obviously money is a still a thing on the Brink - presumably food isn't provided for free, in general? There must be a relief effort for all these homeless people. Presumably some population numbers could be derived from that?

Reading the digital prog here, and Intestinauts is a struggle. A lot of the lettering is difficult to read. At 100%, the entire comic double-page spread can be viewed on my big monitor, and text is usually legible. Intestinauts needs double-magnification to read, because the lettering on the call-outs and building-alarm-voices is ... not good.





I don't know much about lettering, but aren't those I's just not really fit for purpose?

The red-on-white ones are not easy to read in the hard copy either. The 'I's are distinct at least.



The green-on-black ones are easier to make out. The text is still too narrow and tight for comfort though.

I did my best to collate all the Corann and Lesley Ryan stories.

I will check that out, thanks

...  Anderson.  Well I enjoyed the first half of the book, the Karyn stories seemed written a bit chaotically though I did like the Hotdog run story as well.  ...

That Hotdog Run story reads really well collected - it didn't click at the time (The gap between Meg issues doesn't help). I didn't realise Corann and Lesley are the twins from the classic Grant / Ransom era 'Triad' story that I read when I subscribed to the prog so long ago. Top callbacking. The book is a decent collection all round. Nice to see some strip art from Roach and Robinson.

Bit dark, JW

Apologies – I got carried away. I forgot that you were ill and delicate and thus less likely to appreciate misplaced frivolity.
It is highly unlikely that Hachette warehouse staff are even now surrounding your house with crudely fashioned weapons in their hands.
Highly unlikely.
Rest easy and get well soon.

 

This made me laugh, which was much needed, thank you!

The torn pages were a warning.
These people hate you and they have your address.

Bit dark, JW

But noted

Given these limitations, his culpability is certainly highly questionable.

Thanks for the in-depth analysis! I feel the same way, hence the question. I'm not sure what the alternative was to nuking East-Meg 1, other than surrendering MC-1. And his recommendation to get boots on the ground to investigate prior to DoC was overruled.

I've put in for a replacement, thanks. Bizarre how such an issue can occur really.

Oy. Sounds horrible John.

We're well to the south of England and surrounded by hills... but no street lights here, so it could be made out from the village at midnight:

Missed the Northern Lightshow last night - am still fending off my first COVID infection. A real smorgasbord of symptoms. Was not expecting to be covered in hives (days 1 and 2) have swelling in hands and feet (day 3) or today's skin sensitivity. It's like the 12 days of COVID. What will tomorrow bring. La Fink has it too, but hers is more boring.

Really love those submissions Hoagy. Great poses, expressions and colours 

Contents of Anderson NWO:



The intro says it contains 'the final multi-part Anderson strips' by Alan Grant, Dragon Blood and NWO. There's also Jordan Ramzy's Kitchen Nightmare.

Other stories - Undertow, Martyrs, Spa Day and The Dead Run.

My copy is missing the usual endsheets but only at the front of the book, and it's made a right mess of the opening page:



 

Anyone else seeing this?

Brain transplant?

His brain is very old. I prefer the biochip idea. Maybe someone did an imprint back when he was younger - after Necropolis?

That MC1 would be screwed without Dredd, even though he's ultimately largely responsible for the city being in bits?

How so (genuine question)?

(I agree with the first bit. I don't understand how he's ultimately largely responsible for the city being in bits)
