Not really a review , I'll leave that to better wordsmiths - my problem is that my issue came today but without a floppy copy of Death Planet. Anyone else got there copy without it?

Never thought to phone Rebellion , d'oh!
The chap on the phone has just told me the issues have been posted early by mistake and without floppies inserted. They'll now be posted separately hurrah!

A very quick flip reveals that in an interview with Tiernen Trevallion , there's a familiar picture of someones commission....

I'm afraid it didn't take long to read.

The lead Dredd story is good enough, although kind of light. It's about Jeremy Kyle coming to the Meg. I'm sad to say I spent much of it predicting, correctly, what was going to happen next.

It's the last episode of Armitage, and the final panel made me grin. I'm not sure my suspension of disbelief stretches to the theory that [spoiler]judges' DNA can be booby-trapped,[/spoiler] but it's all science fiction so I'm not going to worry about it.

American Reaper isn't for me, I'm afraid. It has, at least, ended for now. It's back in the "fall".

Again, Strange and Darke is (IMO) the best thing in the Meg. It's now openly referencing the Wicker Man, which is kind of a relief as its influence is so obvious. But it has lots of great ideas in it and I'm loving the uncontrollable extra voice. It's a bit exposition-heavy this month, but hey-ho. Colin MacNeil drew it, so I'm happy.

Next month: the return of Diggle and Jock! Thank Drokk for that.

Forgot to add: no floppy here, either. I don't often read them, anyway.

No floppy here too. Assumed my copy of Death Planet had been sent to Garth Ennis just to prove it could be collected.

As per strontium71's message earlier, the printer screwed up and subs will have their floppies dispatched separately within a few days.

American Reaper's coming back???

American Reaper : Autumn 2012, Snapshot next month.

Re: The floppy - Any idea if we have to let them know, or do they already know who hasn't got them?

Cheers

Forget the floppie - who's in the Dreddlines?

The snapshot is 16 pages long.

I assume all copies went out without the floppy ?

Steve Green · 22 February, 2012, 01:46:58 PM

Oh right, I thought it was longer than that.
