Intestinauts return in 2000 AD Prog 2382, out 15th May!

Tharg wanted him on horseback but here is the full article: https://2000ad.com/news/2000-ad-covers-uncovered-fourth-times-the-charm-john-mccreas-prog-2380-cover/

Here is another one:

Alternative Cover:

It is not that I find Indigo Prime as bad it was always a strip even when John Smith wrote it that it is something that is not really to my liking. The power of anthology at play here anyway, the rest are top-notch.

[Dredd]

A great prog again. Very difficult to choose what is the favourite this round


Dredd – I wonder if we will ever know what Dredd's mission was. The survival series continues unfortunately this one is not presented by Bear Grylls anymore since the big bad bear ate him in episode one. I still enjoy this for it is and Guera is one hell of an artist.

Aquila – This is like the previous episodes, an all-action episode with no mercy blood galore action-fest. Just awesome stuff. PS – I think Brink stole all the words in the prog nothing left.

Brink  – This is a letters nightmare with more speech-bubbles than number of progs released but boy this is great.  We are still very much in setup territory here. I do not think we will reach Luna everything will happen on Belleholme habitat.

Indigo Prime – (that like something or) story the get will you slightly up temperature the turn just and salt of bit little a add we If.

Vex – This was one awesome episode as Carroll adds much more backstory and nuances to the world of Vex. Lynch art as always helps to great this great world. This is the first time that the story focuses purely on Vex and we get shown some of his history. Top-notch story my fav by far.

Never heard of this but it looks quite interesting

Coming to the prog in July:

Incredible SF action from the Eisner-nominated UK anthology! A mysterious stranger comes to Mega-City One in Judge Dredd: "The Bam-Hunters" by Ken Niemand & Neil Googe, and then there's a robot uprising in "Machine Rule" by John Wagner & Colin MacNeil; Bridget obsessively interrogates in Brink: "Consumed" by Dan Abnett & INJ Culbard; Rogue Trooper follows a voice on the airwaves in "Souther Belle," by Geoffrey D. Wessel & Dan Cornwell; and there's two new series in the shape of folk-horror thriller Herne & Shuck: Suffer the Children by David Barnett & Lee Milmore, and alien apocalypse "Silver" by Mike Carroll & Joe Currie!

I'm a bit dubious about this year's Sci-Fi Special, as I was never a great fan of these Elseworlds-type crossovers. I will buy it (to show solidarity and all that) but don't have very high expectations as, for me, these 'alternative' stories never seem to work.

I feel the same but at least they are trying something differnt with the specials. Dooing something based on a theme

The truth is out there:

Cover by I. N. J. Culbard:

Do you read all issues in landscape mode, or switch between portrait and landscape?

I read portrait mode and when we have a double page I just swing to landscape mode. I do not have a problem reading the prog/meg itself. I also download the CBZ to my computer for easy access afterwards.

The pity for my is that their is a few of the New Eagle strips I would like to get a reprint on: Doomlord, Bloodfang and naturally Dan Dare
