MECHANISMO V MEAN MACHINE ANGEL

IAMTHESYSTEM · 04 August, 2008, 09:10:59 PM

Did the Robot law enforcer Mechanismo ever face down Mega City 1's finest cyborg psychopath the Mean Machine Angel?

Now that would surely be a contest worth having. Two maniacs for the price of one.

No that never happened. Mean Machine did team up with Judge Death a couple of times though, so you can get "two maniacs for the price of one" if you read "The Three Amigos" or "Judgement on Gotham," which are both graphic novels.

Yup, it did happen! In Megazine Vol 3 No 74.

It was a Harke and Burr tale by Grennie and Paul Marshial. The original artwork was on eBay for it just last week.

I think I'd trade not having read Judgement on Gotham in exchange for wiping all memories of the dire Vendetta in Gotham.

Oh man, Vendetta in Gotham was cool! Dredd and Bats fighting in the park was great!

It was the Riddler one that I thought was shite, to this day I still don't know what the end was all about! Doomsday or somesuch - anyone like to explain it to me?

It was about extending the crossover series, to provide enough time for Fabry to get his stuff in for Die Laughing (which was supposed to be the sequel to Judgement on Gotham). In the end, they just got other people to finish that off.

I agree. It was the best of them all. Die Laughing had some good moments, but Vendetta got just about everything right.

Did I read the same Vendetta as everyone else? Thirty pages of Dredd and Bats having a punchup in a park followed by the world's stupidest exposition ([spoiler]Well, Batman, I started this crossover fight solely because we're going to have another, more exciting crossover later on and I need you alive for that.[/spoiler]) does not an excting comic make.

No it was filler of the highest order-though it did feature some great Cam Kennedy art, so it wasn't all bad. Die Laughing, on the other hand, was great.

Now, it has been a very long time since I read Vendetta, but would it not have been simpler if Dredd had used one of those riot foam back pack things?

Playing Devil's advocate you could argue that Batman would have found a way out "because he's Batman". Presumably Dredd knew the kind of guy he was and realised he would have to do it himself.
