Forthcoming Thrills!

[I, Cosh]

Yeah - that Greysuit cover is really striking and works well. White backgrounds do seem to stand out.
272 pgs is a hefty volume, could read a lot (as opposed to a bit) better collected.

Especially as there have only been 192 pages of it so far. Does that late 2016 release date indicate a typo another story next year or just Amazon placeholder values not being updated?

[Colin YNWA]

Yeah I really like the Greysuits use of two styles. The only thing I find a bit weird is the grimdark* images under the big painted image seem to be forming a heart. Now this might be me seeing to much but once you have it in ya head its either a deliberate juxtaposition or the must violent valentines since 1929.

*If you've read the Superman vs. Batman thread you'll understand why I've used this term... and will probably a few more time until I get bored of it!

Surely it's a butterfly. Like the one in the actual title of the book. And the picture of one just above it.

Well yes but it looks like a heart. Even if its a butterfly its a pretty grimdark one.

[Fungus]

Took it as a butterfly too. It could even have worked if done more subtly...

Planet of the Damned and Goldtiger are both in my pre-order queue and those covers only make me more excited.

Now up for pre-order at Amazon UK:

Judge Dredd Year Two: The Righteous Man (Kindle Edition) by Michael Carroll, 15th January 2016
As the Judges cart Rico Dredd away for questioning and exile on Titan, his clone-brother Joe comes under scrutiny. They're cut from the same cloth; can Joe Dredd be trusted? An investigation begins, and Dredd is shipped off to an iridium-mining town in the Cursed Earth, which has come under pressure from mutant raiders.  But everything is not as it seems. When the reason for the raids becomes clear, Dredd will have some tough decisions to make.

Judge Dredd Casefiles 27  – 19th May 2016, 320 pages, paperback.
The madness of Mega-City One comes to light once more, as Judge Dredd fends off a mob of sex-crazed robots, battles corruption in the Mega-City fast food championship and takes a tough stance against the latest Mega-City fashion trend – the peek-a-boo pants!

And now back to Bob in the studio.

Of all the many things I'm really looking forward to from the House of Tharg, Goldtiger is the runaway winner.  I can't wait to read that.

Sure I saw Rob Williams say something about a new Sensitive Klegg outing on Twitter recently.

Cover is up.

New cover:

[Bolt-01]

Is it just me or are all of those poses lifts? I mean it is a nice cover, though why is Rogue looking a bit pale and someone has pulled Alpha's arms a bit. But the whole thing looks like lifts...

TMO- was that part of the brief?

[The Adventurer]

That's a Mike Allred cover? Definitely doesn't feel like one of his best.

Also, maybe its just the image, but does it look a bit narrow? Like it's US comic sized?

[TordelBack]

Lifts alright - Rogue for definite (almost looks like a cutout pasted on), Anderson perhaps not.

But I actually really like it! Very bright and fresh, which is to say very Allred.

[Hawkmumbler]

Dredd's a lift of a Bolland scan as well.

I like it though, Allred is a good sort.
