Maybe I need to get out more...

But then you'd draw less. Maybe you should stop going out altogether.

...making this discussion irrelevant but entertaining fanwank.

Yes but that's what the Internet is for (besides porn).
It's hard to believe that Alpha's generation wouldn't remember Sabbat and a global zombie war, which is why Judgement Day seemed like the most likely suspect. But you do have a point about the fact that lots of people have been messing around with history, so we can always chalk it up to something we just don't know about.

I forgot he was born in 2150. So chronologically he'd be 70, but physiologically 61. Middenface would be far too old though. Date should have been 2200.

I'M NOT USING SPOILER TAGS, so if you haven't read it yet then move along.


I loved this week's Dredd story, which for me is the stand-out of the prog (although Roach's art was fabulous too, and I liked the way SB Davies's art was used for one panel in SinDex).

Don't try to over-think Dredd. We don't really need to know why all these Cal clones are around so many years later, just go with it. (Incidentally, this story is the first time Dredd has actually killed Cal himself -- previously that was Fergee and Darien McKenzie.)

I don't have a problem with Dredd and Stront being in the same universe / timeline, whatever. I quite like it. And as others have pointed out, Alpha is only in one of Dredd's possible futures. (That said, the Doc's explanation in Back to the Future Part II doesn't apply here, because if it did, then Alpha wouldn't be able to come back and see Dredd post-Judgement Day, assuming that that's when the timelines diverged.)

As for the date 2220, while that's a bit further in the future than I'd expected to see, it's not so implausible. If Alpha was aged around, say, 20 when we first met him in 2180, then he'd only be about 60 in this story, or even younger given that he was dead for ten years.

Nice to see Bolland do Dredd again.

I still haven't got over that!

The problem there might be that artists are given pictures of a character as a reference or guide to how to draw them, and they're probably not updated. So artists draw a 50 year old woman as if she's a 20 year old girl. It's something the editor could sort out fairly easily.

IT MATTERS MORE THAN THE REAL WORLD!!!

Seems a bit of a departure.

Not when the whole city is at stake. Security of the City Act and all that.

Never mind, just saw it on the other thread.

How does Dan Dare Corp still own Doomlord?!

I loved writing Doomlord. When Eagle folded, the story should have been taken into 2000AD, and made darker.

Now you can, Alan. Now you can.

Can we see photos of the tattoos?

His appearance in The Graveyard Shift is an error, since he was dead by then. Although I don't think you see his badge, so it could just be another bald guy who looks a bit like him.

That Cadet Anderson story which names Shenker as head of Psi-Div is just wrong.

There is also the point of ' HOW did Death come back to this realm' to rescue his buddies in the first place, that's not been explained properly yet .

Yes it has, the Sisters did it.

I think that Frank on the previous page may be into something. Maybe PJ Maybe wasn't in that story at all, and that guy we saw was just another sap who thought he was PJ, and the black voice is the symptom of his brainwashing. If so: poor guy! But that would be brilliant.

Did we ever find out what that was?  I really can't remember.

It was a baby demon left in his head by the Stone Wizards. He tricked it into jumping into a Kreeler general's head and then got rid of it with a time bomb.

This was something else. Proudhuff might be right with his psychosis theory, and it's just unfortunate that the black speech bubbles remind us of another story.

Or it might be the result of whatever happened with the Dark Judges. It seems odd that we wouldn't find out what happened there, which is why I can't be 100% sure we've seen the last of PJ. As someone else said above, [spoiler]that "bomb" might have been a teleporter.[/spoiler]
