I think this is more a financial choice since Disney has lost a lot of subscribers on Disney+.

Cover B/W and Colour:

Just a question it was mentioned in prog 2329 that Kek-W and John is working on a title called Nightmare, New York!, is this his last work or is his retirement effectively immediately?

Thanks Alec, just to say I am looking forward to more Durham Red

I also love this series. Just had some issues purchasing the latest one.

The more interesting thing is I cannot the last few years remember anyone except Annie Parkhouse lettering Dredd.

Annie's been unwell recently — she's recovering fine (as far as I know, from a brief communication with Steve P) so Simon and I are keeping her seat warm between us until she's ready to resume her duties in the Thrill Mines once again.

Sorry to hear get well soon Annie

Talking about lettering, I just noticed that the Dredd strip is lettered by Simon Bowland. The more interesting thing is I cannot the last few years remember anyone except Annie Parkhouse lettering Dredd.

From Kenneth Niemand's twitter:

Well, the Battle-Action/prog merger special event is officially a success, and so we're doing another - different - one next year.

Now to figure out what the theme's going to be...

Here is interview with Ian Edginton and Disraeli related to Helium:

Interesting about what Ian is saying about Brass Sun:
After Helium, Matt and I will be working on a Scarlet Traces prequel and then the LA story if it gets approved! We do have designs on more Stickleback at some point. Ampney Crucis or a variation thereof will be cropping up so keep your eyes peeled!

I keep on meaning to get back to Brass Sun. I have it all laid out right to the very end. I just need to sit my arse in the chair and get on with it!
