I love the cover on this by Cliff Robinson, I wonder if this is the alien version of Rufus getting his tats done?

General / My Cellar of Dredd
29 April, 2008, 08:17:31 PM
Well I have finally bothered my arse and decided to try and put some of my collection on you tube.
This is my first attempt at doing some filming in the cellar and then uploading it (it took bloody ages). I shall be doing some more filming in the following weeks so you can see my illness in all it's glory.
I had my mobile next to the camcorder playing the Dredd trailer, I suppose I shall have to figure out how to add the sound later so it sounds better!
Anyway feel free to give me 5 stars, lol...

General / John Hicklenton on Radio 5
01 March, 2008, 05:41:44 AM
Did anyone hear this very informative interview of John's last night at about 00:38, which ran for a good quarter of an hour as it was superb.
He went into a lot of details and feelings about his MS and held nothing back.
He compared being told about it like this, when you have sat in a cinema for three hours in the dark and you then go outside into a sunny day, well it's the exact opposite.
I look forward to seeing his film when it comes out in the near future even more now.

Film & TV / Rufus on Discovery Channel?
22 February, 2008, 07:58:00 PM
A mate of mine who knows my love of all things 2000ad told me, that while watching a programme on one of the Discovery Channels he saw a bloke talking about Dredd and he was drawing and selling pages of art.
He mentioned spikey ginger hair, to which I added did he have lots of tattoo's on his arms. The answer was yes, so this proves it was Rufus.
Did anyone see this programme and if so, what actual channel was it on and what was the programme called!

Prog / Kingdom Come? prog: 1574
18 February, 2008, 06:16:23 AM
I thought that the cover had too much purple on the beasts to make it striking enough for me. I would have went with the last page of the Kingdom strip itself as it has more impact.
Only really read the Dredd strip and it's great to see all the strands moving ever closer to their conclusions each prog as the detective work continues apace!

Links / Caballistics, Inc. Podcast
17 February, 2008, 03:33:34 AM
I was prompted towards this site (Pantethicon) due to the 2000ad related pancast. What you have on their first ever pan(pod)cast is a decent review of Caballistics Inc.
Have a listen and hear all the nice things being said about Dom and Gordon's creation.

Help! / TV card????????
25 December, 2007, 09:06:20 PM
I had a analogue/digital TV usb stick (with ariel) given to me for a present and I have just tried to set it up on my laptop.
Now it has installed okay but it says that I have not got a TV card installed. Is this something extra that I have to buy and if so are they of a reasonable price.
Remember I am slowly building my knowledge of this stuff up so be gentle with me.
Cheers  John.

News / Judge Dredd Bust
03 November, 2006, 03:53:05 PM
I`ve just been to my local comic shop and I was told as I picked up my Comics International No 200 the following. In one of his trade mags he had seen an advertisment for a Judge Dredd Bust for about £37.99 or near abouts. Does anyone else know any more. I reckon It must be from this new range coming up but as he was emptying loads of new stuff with his wife I did not want to disrupt him to much.

Books & Comics / SFX - Issue 149
25 September, 2006, 02:56:00 PM
Just read my new copy of SFX (amazingly the post has not damaged this issue. The first in many a year) and in the Objects Of Desire section there is a good but small write up of the 6 new 2000AD T-shirts.

They go on to say a little birdy has told them that 6 more are in the pipeline for the near future.

What with this and last months SFX covering Dredd does this mean that 2000AD is actually managing to get advertised elsewhere for a change. It makes a change from the overpowering US stuff in everything.

General / Cliff Robinson Art
17 September, 2006, 12:51:40 PM
Having just read Meg 250 with another excellent cover by Cliff I was wondering has he ever drawn a full strip.
For the life of me I can`t seem to remember him doing one in any of all the publications.
It just seems a bit strange that if he hasn`t, his art always looks good and very meticulous in all the detail he includes.

Prog / PROG 1506 - A Man Apart
17 September, 2006, 12:41:39 PM
Cover: A good picture of Malone with the clown hovering over him. Quite moody by Dylan Teague.

Dredd: As the team move into the Cursed Earth it reminds me a bit of the trip to Mega City 2 in the Killdozer. I don`t understand why the life of a child means Dredd would let his juniors dictate what to do, especially as from what`s said implies that not all the info has been passed onto them.

Malone: I`ve quite enjoyed it but now it`s ended I wonder where the main character will go from here. Also as I was basically given a Fatwah on the other SPOILERS thread I won`t say anymore.

Stone Island: Very interresting version on what I presume is an alien take over of the planet. The picture of David looks extremely painful. What is going on in Simon Davis`s head.

Banzai Battalion: Sad ending but the war must go on no matter who falls by the wayside. Captain Stomper is my kind of robot.

Nikolai Dante: It was about time Dante used his huntsman rifle again. I always thought it was underused. The art works perfectly for the strip ( I know a lot of people hate it ). I normaly like crisp  realistic`ish art but I think the rough drawing compliments the character and his lifestyle. A main character dies but as I`ve already got one fatwah I`ll leave it at that.

Overall: 8 out of 10

Prog / PROG 1505 - Origins - Dredd Rides Into History
10 September, 2006, 09:35:12 PM
Cover: Brilliant. It`s the Bolland preview from last prog. Need I say more.

Dredd: So a tissue sample from the same DNA as Joe is in the box. The thing is it`s from someone who lived through most of the last century due to the age and levels of contaminants absorbed. The killer punch is that it was taken from a LIVING organism. Superb art by Carlos and the story is everything we have waited for. Roll on next week.

Malone: Is the past catching up with Malone as someone tracks him down. Also why is he saying, I`m Malone, I`m Malone, I`m Alone...........

Stone Island: Another gorefest as more people are killed. Dave seems to be connected to the beasts due to the fact he is surrounded by them and saying "I`m their favourite son". SPOOKY

Banzai Battalion: The robo-ratter reduces the ranks but Captain Stomper manages to take control of it with an ambush. The battle is now moving to the house humans. Is this a sympathetic view of one robot succoming to a nervouse breakdown, BOLLOCKS It`s just hillarious as Stomper is leading his depleated troops on his crazy mission.

Nikolai Dante: The Dragons sweep through the pirates but Dante is about to save the day standing in an Errol Flynn pose in the last panel. I expect many tears as I think Dante might become an orphan soon. Which will be good as he can go back to being a scoundrel with no-one to care about but Little Dante in his pants.

Overall: 9.9 out of 10. This prog is near perfect.

Prog / PROG 1503 - His Fathers Son
27 August, 2006, 07:57:10 AM
Cover: Excellent by Jock, Nice lip action.

Dredd: Come on Joe your reactions are getting slow, shot again! Hopefully the body armour has saved the day again.

Malone: I agree it looks like A History Of Violence, but looks can be deceiving. I liked the Godfather speak on the gay sausage quip.

Stone Island: I`m still waiting to see where it`s heading at the moment.

Banzai Battalion: Fantastic, just one laugh after another as the destruction hots up. Captain Stomper is well and truly gung ho as he leads his men (and woman) on a systematic route of Pest Patrol. Only the intervention of the grandaughter saves them. Pah!

Nikolai Dante: I`m enjoying it, but it seems like the old Flash Gordon serials when at the end of each weeks episode it looks like Flash has been killed. Just substitute Flash with Nikolai.

Overall: 7 out of 10.

Prog / PROG 1501
14 August, 2006, 02:08:40 AM
Guns & Roses cover by Cliff Robinson is excellent.

Banzai Battalion is the best story this prog as it looks like they will have to do battle with the new outfit in the garden who have taken over their turf.

The other stories are all okay, just building up for their respective pay offs.

News / Rogue Trooper Statue
10 August, 2006, 08:26:56 AM

Prog / Prog 1500
06 August, 2006, 12:15:51 PM
I Didn`t think having the 1500 and Tharg so large was a good idea as it swamped the 2000AD logo which is smaller than usual.
 I thoroughly enjoyed seeing who I could name in the crowd as Dredd, Spikes, Anderson and Hershey rode past with Guthrie marching.
 Well done Boo.
 Over all it`s good for the fans but I don`t think it will attract new blood to our beloved read.

  Anyone got any more info...........

Other Reviews / Dredd Case Files 3
10 April, 2006, 06:59:48 PM
Is this a joke. I got my file No3 this morning and next to the other 2 it LOOKS SHIT. I know it is thinner but all you have to do is stretch the title to fit the previous 2. Yet again NO THOUGHT has gone in to an item that fans collect. This really is poor planning and design work and we have to suffer. Anyone else feel the same.
