Just read the Dredd in smiths this week.  

High explosive the bitch dredd.

[The Monarch]

dredd: heh heh heh alien queen heh heh heh

v.cs finally i can say its good at last

future predictable err i mean shock: seen it coming although the git deserved it heh

telguuth: hmm thats all i can say really

atavar: pish still not bison level pish but its getting there

[Richmond Clements]

I just got my prog today, so..

It's all pretty good, except Telguuth, which was dull dull dull.
Dredd was brilliant, great last page!
I liked the layout of the first page of the FS. The story was predictable, but not too bad.Liked the artwork, though.

>...Which then desn't quite work when inside the border is whiter than white.  It just sort of jars heaps every time I look at it.  Does anyone else agree or am I complaining at nothing?

One of the best covers of the year, actually looks like some thought went into it. So I?d say you were complaining at nothing.

I think the cream border is very classy nice, and the rendering is superbly done too - of course.

But what is the picture depicting? Certainly nothing from the story indside...

There's an odd white sky, which suggests we're on a planet, and one of the chaps is stood on an alien tree whilst the others hover behind. Smith has his hand over the gun barrel (surely a bad idea) and is kneeling beside a smoking hole.

So, despite the initial plaudits, to me the cover is flawed as it seems only to depict the VCs carefully approaching a gaseous rabbit warren.

... which makes me think that this was supposed to be a Banzai Battalion picture after all!

[Tu-plang]

fairycake might like to change his icon, unless... yeah, maybe...

They should have just made this a Banzai cover - who cares that they're not in the prog?  not me.
