I did my best to collate all the Corann and Lesley Ryan stories.

What I think of as New Who is now over two decades old. There was a big US audience - my teaching demographic (high schoolers) knew all the lore. Now if I mention Doctor Who, I get "huh?"

Anyway - best of luck to the show. It's not been my cup of tea for an age. The last time I was really into watching, it was "unlimited rice pudding".

Edmund Bagwell using a pseudnym IIRC

Listed as Edmund Kitsune & Richard Preston.

Is Richard Preston a real person? Perhaps a colorist on this?

[23 - Hi-Octane]

23 - Hi-Octane

Dredd plus Lawmaster equals DAKKA DAKKA VROOM VROOM...


Judge Dredd Mega-Special #5 (1992; Sean Phillips) - rather than use the onboard armament, Dredd's just using the bike to get him close enough to day-stick the punks. To be honest, this looks a bit like he's mown down some fashion victims from Miami. Loud shirt - three months, creep! This cover was special because the grey bits are actually metallic silver.

Hit the Sked (prog 1815; 2013; Darren Douglas) - again, has the slight appearance of Dredd just going on an extra-judicial rampage during a frustrating commute. His pose on the bike is a little uncanny valley, but points for having someone's teeth being ground out on the skedway.


---

Crash Course I (prog 1957; 2015; Jake Lynch) - a proper homage, this one. We've got pat wagons from Block Mania, a Manta Prowl Tank providing air support, Johnny Vegas block as a backdrop and Dredd once again opting for day-stick carnage. Oh, what a lovely day!


---

Summary Justice (prog 2239; 2021; Stewart Kenneth Moore) - a little busy, this one. Is it that the descendants of The Human Torch have turned to a life of crime? Positives: wheel goes squish.



---

Crash Course II (prog 2373; 2024; Stewart Kenneth Moore) - what Dredd thinks of seminal manga. Also: why is the tree hologram not there in the published version? Was it there on the printed one?

Next: Ricardo Montage-ban...

Prog 2382 has a wrap-around cover!

Shit! I mean, "And so, the list grows!"

this forum needs a "Love" button

 

So, standard smoke and mirrors, or unexpected development?!

It might be someone that doesn't know. I was watching someone give a presentation on UX the other day, that didn't know what UX stood for. Fun presentation.

Sometimes news is interesting: Obsolete, but not gone: The people who won't give up floppy disks

In a brutal calculus, Dredd was correct in his choice of cadet. He survived, after all.

I'm calling this one of the strongest Dredd stories ever. Tragic, yes, but I'm not following the notion that it somehow shouldn't be allowed, or has broken any rules of character or setting.

Yeah. Of course, Dredd's character would push back against the idea, I suppose. It'd be a horrible irony if his mind was forced into a Mechanismo unit.

What if the strip was still called Judge Dredd, but it was just about Mega-City One? You'd still have Fargo clones knocking about, but he'd be retired, or CJ, or teaching at the AoL, or dead.

(We already know he's got invulnerable Rebellion-IP Plot Armour +5, +10 vs. Aging, so you can take that as read.)

Brain transplant?

And Cal, and how!

Ah, and so we agree!

It is a recurring theme, yes. Ever since tight boots, right? And, I know, fridging be bad. (I sometimes wonder about catching myself on, though, when another black side character dies and I face palm. Like, are black side characters *not* allowed to die? Anyway - different debate.)

Some right-wing politicians being horrible ass-hats seems to me an argument for democracy, not against it.

As for "those who believe in government" - that (for me) is nonsensical. Government exists right now. It's not a belief, it's a fact. (I realize it's only a label for a particular structure, but the label and the structure both exist - really whether one believes in them or not.)
