General / To Flesh or not
13 September, 2022, 10:21:39 AM
I do not know if anyone can remember how Flesh ended in its last arc (prog 2001-2010) but it ended with the words "to be continued". I would like to see that at least it is concluded but then again I would rather see more Brink/The Out/Brass Sun etc

On twitter I saw a question related to Flesh (and an answer from Pat)

Q: Any chance we'll ever see closure on Flesh?

A: I was tweeting about this recently. There's about four problems currently in the way. The first one is Clint's availability. He's still working on Joe Pineapples.  Ultimately it's about whether Rebellion are keen to make it happen. Currently, I'd say they're not.

Prog / Prog 2298 - The Nightmare Man
07 September, 2022, 05:13:18 AM
Another good prog as all the stories are heading for the finale

Dredd – I like the way the story is told out of the droid's viewpoint how he struggles to comprehend who he should be and what he should be doing. We are also getting closer to the big idea. Rob has constructed a great Dredd tale

3rillers – This is getting creepier and creepier, and we now understand how the Crawly Man gets summoned and what the real reason why the girl is important. This has been a great 3riller so far one of the best. Hopefully the ending can land it properly.

Skip(aroo) – Nolan saved by his daughter, and he is literally heading for Valhalla by sacrificing himself. Let's see how this wraps-up next week. 

Sin/Dex – At last we find out what the speech bubble effect is in Ramone's head is and this is most possible how the story will wrap up but not before we have a grand finale face-up between the two gun sharks. 

Jaegir – Another great episode as many secrets is revealed and we see the return of a familiar face. The episode ends will a real humdinger.

Prog / Prog 2297 - It Thinks......Therefore It Kills
31 August, 2022, 04:21:24 AM
A good prog after the regen issue, a good Dredd an interesting 3riller and all the rest setup for their finales.

Dredd – Another story that continues out of the Atlantis arc. This round the Soviet war droid has survived and is heading for MC1 chaos and destruction ensued. A good start to the story which point to some "fun" moments as the droid has a big idea

3rillers – A new creepy dark tale as we start with a kidnapping and soon not everything is so straightforward. This one lean more towards a Thistlebone folk-lore type of story and has a solid start.

Skip (me)– As everything looks quite grim for our hero it looks like it is daughter to the rescue. At this point we cannot wait for the grand finale in two weeks' time (this you can read in the way you feel about the story)

Sin/Dex – Steve Yeowell is back for the final part. This episode is very much just very talkative, and it is difficult to see how Dan will rap this up in two episodes.

Jaegir –[spoiler] Atalia has been rescued by an unexpected third party as Klaur-and-team meets up with the Captain.[/spoiler]  Solid episode and we now move into the final jig-saw puzzle to get the final corner piece that has been missing.

Megazine / Meg 447 - Monster Smash!
17 August, 2022, 07:36:52 AM
This was a great meg with only 3 stories but it delivered the goods.

Dredd – Another wonderful one shot by Niemand and some gorgeous art by Googe.  Again, it is a case of Niemand creating another possible return set of characters as the story focus on a Death- fanatic.

Anderson – We have a new head of PSI division. The story felt a little bit rushed even the art felt rushed. It is a pity since the story was quite interesting. It could have done with 2 more episodes

Lawless – Wow what an ending and to an absolute gem of a series. Yes, we will get another series next year with the whole landscape completely altered. The whole meg devoted to this last part of the arc a whopping 34 pages of Lawless. It is like a dream come true for all our fan boys' pity for people picking up the meg for the first time. 

The meg also features a great piece on the great man Alan Grant.

If you have  not read Feral and Foe the floppy feature the first arc and it ends with a message that "The story continues in the Feral & Foe trade collection, on sale January 2023"

The original Rogue Trooper certainly forum-wised got some real mix feelings but does not matter where you sit on the fence it is one of the classic 2000AD characters. In many cases we do have a series or story that just drags on for too long and can become stale. After Traitor General should Rogue continued or not?
-   Yes, I loved every bit of it (even the Hit series).
-   Yes, but GFD should have continued on scripting duties (we would have been saved from the Hit series)
-   The Traitor General series was a good point to stop the series
-   Maybe after the Horst series they could have stopped Rogue
-   Never liked the series to begin with

With more than 40 years of reading material available it is daunting task to know where to start reading Dredd. The main "problem" with Dredd is the fact that he never had a reboot which can be marked as a new begging to start from.

If you can recommend to your new friends where to start reading Dredd what will you answer be:
-   Well easy take the latest prog and start reading from there and the rest will come with time
-   Wait for a jump-on prog and start from there
-   Way wait pick-up the nearest jump-on point and read from there
-   No pick-up the Judge Dredd Cases file number one and start from the begging – you will have years of entertainment
-   There is a new Essential Collection out pick that up and start from there
-   What about the new best of 2000AD
-   Pick-up the classic epics like Apocalypse War, Judge Child, The Curses Earth, Day of Chaos, Necropolis but remember to skip the City of the Damned

We all were there at one stage when we complain about a strip or the state of the prog. Sometimes we continue to infinity and beyond complain about the same subject repeatedly.
What is the most annoying thing to hear constantly complains about?
-   Sin/Dex must end
-   Skip Tracer sucks
-   Let's kill off Dredd
-   Rogue Trooper is to meh for me
-   The Order is incoherent and does not make sense
-   The prog is not as good as the 80s
-   You know I just scan trough the prog and since I am not reading it must be bad
-   Anderson looks like a 20-year-old babe
-   Why do I have to pay for the regen when I have a sub
-   Why do the schedule get broken down by the regen prog
-   Hah, I will throw a hissy fit whenever I want
-   Complain Department. About which complain do you want to complain?

One of the most popular British comics characters is Dredd. Dredd is an American but for some reason the Americas just do not either like or get the character. Why is this the case:
-   Wrong writers to portray the character. Try a British writer like Al Ewing to do the character until it can be established.
-   Well, the Americans are in love with their superheroes. It is almost like the only material that sells in the States.
-   Well, the Americans does do not get the satire behind the world of Dredd.
-   Wrong publisher who does not understand the character at all.
-   All off the above
-   Well, I believe they love Dredd
-   Something else like..............
