A rotten indication of the coming year is the departure of the much admired John M Burns of Judge Dredd, The Order and various other publications. Another 2000AD Alumni treads the boards no more—condolences to his friends, family and work colleagues at 2000AD.

The worryingly titled 'Bomb' is the next movie from Ridley Scott—no hostage to fortune there.

It looks like the deal, whatever it is, has been done between Games Workshop and Amazon.

Awful news. Ian Gibson's distinctive style was unique on Judge Dredd, Halo Jones or Robo-Hunter—a damn shame. Another legend becomes immortal, so condolences to his family, work colleagues and all those at 2000AD/Rebellion.

Fallout Trailer. It looks perfect for a TV adaption.

The face of this robot does look a little familiar. The excellent Alex Palma shows he may have partially succumbed to 2000AD's subliminal messaging.

Chandler Bing, best known for his recurring role as transatlantic jobbing actor Matthew Perry.

Matthew Perry was only 54 years old. He stated he'd possibly spent around 9 million dollars trying to get sober. It is an unhappy end to a career defined mainly through one role, Chandler in Friends, but Friends is one of the most successful TV programmes ever broadcast. Not many actors can claim they were in the zeitgeist show of their times.
