Off Topic / Re: And so it ends...

We all have to choose what works for you and what does not. As it stands currently I cannot see any reason for giving up on the prog. It has now even become a ritual when I get up early on Wednesday download the prog and read it before the big working slog starts. It is something the look out for me.

I have read Watchmen a few times but I still struggle to get it placed in my top 10. I cannot really put my finger to it and I might get "cancelled" here but I feel it is a bit overrated. The art as is always is top-notch from Gibbons

Quote from: Funt Solo on 13 March, 2024, 06:12:27 PMFor me, Regened just felt more and more bland the longer it went on. ..........

I agree with the bland statement. I also did not like the fact that we now get a 20-page story in every edition (and if you do not like it then 50% of the prog was a lost cause). I understand the idea was to get a collection done as quickly as possible (maybe it was already decided by then that the regen might be done and dusted). I liked it more when we had more stories thus a bigger change of something to your liking. I still believe scheduling is the bigger problem waiting for months between editions was a problem.

That is why I think it will work better if the schedule for it is done in a more flowing manner - this should never have been part of the normal prog run. Currently it broke-up the prog's run and we had these awkward breaks.

No news of more BUT we now know that issue 2375 will be an extra length soft relaunch issue. I slot that would surely have been the first Regened of the year AND the promise of 3 more of these to come. Maybe times and page counts have to be booked at the printers in advance. Who know but I don't think we're getting Regened this year are we.

I just in a preview the following statement which is quite interesting: The Fall of Deadworld Retribution comes to its scrotnig finale next week, paving the way for some fantastic new stories to commence in the bumper Prog 2375, the first of four 48-pagers scheduled for 2024. Now that's something to really look forward to!

For me regen should exists in one form or another, why do they not try the same formula that exists for the Battle Action series. Release it as serialized form with maybe one or two stories carrying over and the rest one shots

I also felt like Dredd was quite distant in this saga almost that he just did not care. Maybe the death of Maitland rattled him at the end thus directly taking on Hernandez

for me if Maitland's plan did get implemented it would have ended Dredd as we know it. I just cannot see how the world would have moved forward for me. I excepted this type of ending but not the end of Maitland (no Hersey moves here please). I can see that some interesting development could spawn out of this - maybe a coup, maybe so limit Maitland projects or even Dredd changes how he do things. Lets see and hopefully we will see some repercussions from this.

QuoteI have read Asterix/Tintin in two different languages (French was not one of them). I must say that maybe I am biased but I did find the jokes worked better in my language than English. I will ask my one friend whom is quite versed in French if that statement held true

Yeah that would be interesting to hear about. As a none French speaker I can only say the English translations are really good. I can get clues in the names which suggest the translations work better, but as you say that's my singular perspective.

My friends answer: I do think it is better in French. Especially Asterix. But the English translation are good
