Forthcoming Thrills!

I thought pa and junior surviving had been retconned ( is that a word?) out of the strip? I'd like to see mean go up against Dredd one last time even give old Joe a bit of a kicking .

[Steve Green]

I don't know, have they?

[Frank]

Not mentioning something EVER again isn't the same as saying it never happened.

The Spurrier Angel Gang series in the Megazine were both subtitled Before they wuz dead; the few in-strip references to the Angels since have been very much in the past-tense and certainly suggestive, at least, that they aren't an ongoing concern; and a year or two back Tharg categorically said on the letters page that Awakening of Angels was a mistake, and to all intents and purposes never happened.

Not to mention the fact that if they were really alive, what the bloody hell have they been doing? I'll have been reading 2000AD for exactly half my life next year, and the Awakening of Angels story - which was before my time - ran so long ago I'd never have known it had happened if not for occasional online mentions. Seems fairly safe to just ignore it rather than feel the need to 'have' to explain it after all this time.

[Steve Green]

Didn't Tharg say that the rebuilding of MC2 never happened, but it was mentioned in California Babylon?

I prefer Michael's approach to the 'let's never speak of this again' route.

The only time I think the resurrected angels were seen again was in a strip called Hell's Angels , they were locked up in iso block 666 with the devil from the classic story beat the devil, it was pretty dire as I recall

Pye Parr reports he's sent prog 1900, with the new look logo, off to the printers. I expect this one to be more divisive than the succession of the prophet.

[Colin YNWA]

New logo BUT I HATE CHANGE...

[SuperSurfer]

I hope it's a radical change – along the lines of the designs he Tweeted a few months ago.

Doubt it's a new look logo though. New look masthead maybe. Hopefully!

[Frank]

Yeah, it's what Parr calls the banner component which has received an update.

They're in The Three Amigos.

yeah forgot about that, As much as I loved Pa and Junior was never keen on them coming back

[James Stacey]

Is the three amigos counted as canon? Though it was a clearly defined what if

That's certainly how I choose to see it.

I think the opening caption calls it 'the never before told story...' So take from that what you will.

[I, Cosh]

No idea. I only read it for the first time in the latest Case Files so I don't know how it was presented at the time. However, it was published in the latest Case Files so it's as canon as The Midnight Surfer and Judge Planet for me.
