[2000AD Thrillcast]

Interesting to read your replies everyone. Thanks

I have a few comic book podcasts that I like to listen to but generally, I only listen to them once I have recently read the issues or books that they are about to discuss.

Here's my podcast list and where I'm up to reading-wise in regards to them

2000AD Thrillcast - Subscribed and up to date except for the Stainless Steel Rat ep as I'm waiting for my copy of the collection to arrive via my local comic book store.

Space Spinner 2000 - Subscribed and am currently stopped at where they discuss approx Prog 500 as I'm trying to read collections from that era so I can get what they are discussing. Almost ready to start again as I have read heaps of collections lately.

Mega City Book Club - Selected episodes mainly the 2000AD related ones to listen to once I've read the related collections.

Then Eamonn from MCBC did some cross-over eps with the Never Iron Anything podcast so now  I have some mainly non-Tharg related comics and collections to read lol. Selected episodes here again and have downloaded some single-issue comics from Comixology just before the 4.0 update to read and then enjoy their discussion.

Then we have the  Wait, What? podcast people who discuss Dredd collections so I am working my way through them as well. I only listen to the Dredd eps from the Wait, What? people.

Plus am starting a re-read of the Hellboy and Mignola-related titles along with the Hellboy Book Club Podcast and am working through the Brubaker bibliography with The Undertow Podcast as my guide.

Combine that with quite a few purchases of trades from local comic book stores to support them during the Pandemic and you could say I'm right for reading options for a while yet lol.

Oops, just subscribed to The Phantom Never Dies podcast but I think it's just a general discussion not specific collections phew.

It all started with 2000AD and the Thrillcast with Molch-R, Conrad and Fox on Space Spinner 2000 and then Eamonn on Mega City Book Club for doing a great job producing entertaining and informative shows on these books.

Right, off the internet and get reading lol

I'm a digital Prog and Meg subscriber for a few years now and lately have been reading other stuff ie Older 2000ad collections, Mignolaverse books, Brubaker crime comics, plus some DC and Marvel while letting my to-read list of progs and megs start to grow.
I also am wanting to read some other stuff like bios, some fiction etc this year.

I have until recently been keeping up by reading the Progs and Megs as they are sent out digitally by Thargs droids but this year am thinking of letting them pile-up on my ipad. Maybe even for a year or so.

Was wondering if any of you ever do a big prog reading catchup and what you do to manage keep up with 2000AD reading as well as other books, comics etc on your reading list.

Finally got around to finishing this one!!

Not a fan of The Order , (has never really clicked with me) but everything else was fine

My Top 3 for Prog 2262

1st - Proteus Vex - well done by Carroll, Lynch, Boswell, and Boland. Liked how the action was being described on the Citheronian Homeworld and shown in the panels with Proteus Vex doing his thing. I like the design of the Imperium spacecraft on page 1 too

2nd -Dexter - liked it . Well done and its a Christmas tale too lol

3rd - Kingmaker - like Proteus Vex, good to have this one back

[The Out]

After looking up my Top 3 posts for each prog this year, doing a quick spreadsheet, and allocating 3,2,1 pts, etc, my results are in:

1st. The Out - 27 pts
2nd. Thistlebone - 21 pts
3rd. Proteus Vex - 18 pts

Scarlet Traces unlucky to miss out on 17 pts

Plenty to enjoy amongst this year's thrills with Durham Red, Dept K, and Aquila as well amongst others
