Yes you are correct.

But even in your mild rebuke, you also re-enforce the point, given you can't remember two of their names - sort of. (Humanoid Martian consciousness doesn't count as a name).

Scarlet Traces - Well, this bizarre story moves on, not my favourite but it's never dull. I think it suffers from a surfeit of spindly bald men, I've lost track of which one's which.

Very much this. Would it really be that hard to make different characters actually look different? It really makes it difficult to follow when you are going "who's that again?" half the time.

I have the IDW Bolland Edition.

Given I thought it was meant to be a prestige product, it is actually a big disappointment IMHO.

Where's that modify button when you need it?

No more confusing I mean.

It would be no less confusing than the average episode of The Order or Indigo Prime 

I wonder if they will dump this continuity of Dredd now that the chance of a sequel has died and we are getting a different continuity of Dredd with the new TV series.

Not sure I follow the logic. The new Dredd TV series is two years away at least. Movie Dredd comics are now a thing in their own right. Don't see a problem with continuing with them, for now at least.

Have to disagree with that one - the announcement of a 7" record got this:

Allow me to make the most annoying comment in record collecting: I've got the 12inch. Wish I had one of the giant size posters that were fly-posted around town when that (crap) single was out, though.

You can go back to talking about the prog now.

Pretty sure I managed to snag the 12" as well at some point - did you see video for that?

I had never seen that before - I think Suggs sums it up nicely at the end "what a load of old grot" - and wasn't he one of The Fink Brothers?

Does that get the prize for the worse Mean Machine costume of all time?

And who was that scarecrow bloke meant to be???

Love that movie and even more so, as it is set on the same street I used to work on. And their premises features in the PS2 game The Getaway (albeit in different form, but it is there in"real life".)

It might just be me but I found the switch to Henry Flint on Havn completely jarring. I think Jake Lynch had it nailed, now it looks like a completely different strip.

I know, I know....never thought I would complain about having Henry Flint on art duties on anything.

Lawless just goes from strength to strength.

Dredd and Anderson were, for me, a bit disappointing compared to last month (but that is probably because last month's episode were so good and these are merely ok).

Oh my. Utterly devastated, his Indigo Orime run was a huge draw factor for me staying with the prog in my formative oeriod in 2011/12. This is what it must have felt like to lose Ron Smith, i'm at a complete loss.

Yes shocking news about Edmund Bagwell. 50 is no age at all.

Not sure what you mean about Ron Smith. Last I checked he was very much still alive.  (?)

I liked it. It was pretty funny in places. It didn't take itself seriously at all ( which actually became a bit of a problem ). Overall style over substance really, but as my brother put it a "feel good movie".

I've posted it before (and got pelters ) and I'll repeat it here:

Brazil is my least favourite film. Of all time.

Please don't make Judge Dredd Mega City One like it. In anyway. Whatsoever.

For me the most important thing is to get the tone right. The comic does everything from black comedy, to police procedural, to war, to political thriller, to horror.

It works in the comic so I guess it can work on the box, but I guess It is going to require a lot of skill to incorporate all of that and make it consistent.

If Karl Urban can commit to appearing in most episodes then great, but if not I would rather they went for some one else. But hey, bigger movie stars than him have done long runs in TV shows. Martin Sheen and Kevin Spacey come most readily to mind ( and Kiefer Sutherland).

How about going for the original look from the very early Progs, for the eagle and shoulder pad? I.e. when they were much smaller than today. Would still be authentic to the comic and more practical than how it is now depicted.

Quite a lot like the 2012 costume, you mean? All they really did was turn the eagle into a motif, added some (OK, a lot) of armour, and took away the badge chain which, even if easily detachable (which it's never been shown to be), is a bit of a daft thing to have in hand-to-hand combat.

Er...yeah...you could put it that way...just make the eagle stand out a bit more and you're there.

I'm not usually a fan of Deadworld but the strip this week was phenomenal.

Re: Brink, I'm a bit confused about what's happening here. [spoiler]When did Junot Snr go missing?
What was in the last Brink run?[/spoiler]

Re [spoiler]when did Junot Snr go missing[/spoiler] - it is mentioned in the dialogue in the first episode of the current series.
