They were Daily Star strips, coloured in by Alan Craddock.

There's much more story than Fury Road, but is recognisably set in the same world and ties into that film really well. Hoping it leads to a sixth film!

But if that had happened, we would have missed out on some outstanding art by Will Simpson.

Yes, that one!

On your first request, we do already have the full colour art in the Ultimate Collection.

I hate it!

I suspect you are in a minority of people who would be interested in reading that sort of thing.

Ordered.

I loved this episode of Intestinauts! Simple but very effective.

I'd be quite happy for Rico to take over and go back to using his original name of Dredd, but I think Wagner said in an interview that he wasn't interested in doing that. 

That's a fair point, but it would be a bit of a cop-out. Everyone gets older in real life, and just saying that Dredd is a young man again because you can do anything you like in science fiction feels like ignoring reality, and fiction usually needs to have some grounding in reality to be believable. (Also why would that make him less grumpy? He would still be the same person with the same memories and experience.)

That sounds even worse than I remembered! I used to own that book, I gave it away to a charity shop.

The next one is better!

Who is it?  What do they want?  Why have they got it in for the Intestinauts?  How does this link with the incident in the lab?

Given how multi-episode stories usually work, aren't these questions which we will find out the answers to in the next episodes? Would it really be easier to follow if we were told the answers before this character showed up?

It's never pretended to be anything but a kids' show for kids. (The spin-off Torchwood was marketed as Dr Who for adults, but it turned out to be less popular than Dr Who.) It's just that some writers are better at writing all-ages material than others.
