Was that the one where George Clooney knocked Vienna up?  If so, I didn't think it was too bad. Definitely no classic but not the worst.

No, no, it was Vin Diesel face changed to look like George Clooney who knocked up Vienna

Thanks everyone for your replies.

I think Travellian had started on Indigo Prime before I stopped reading. Lovely stuff.

Broxton, Kendall, McConville and Niemand are all new names to me.

I've loved Rob Williams writing in tooth and the meg. Probably haven't read much/any of his Dredd.

Since my first post I've reread Total War and Blood Trails, and I'm sticking into Origins now

Yeah, I've seen some of Ian Culbard's other work. Great stuff. Looking forward to Brass Sun!

You are Ian Culbard's mum and I claim my £5!

I guess if I hadn't stopped reading 2000ad for 9 years I might understand this...

Thanks all for your replies.

Just read all of it.

This may be the way forward 

I think I'll reread Origins and see how I go from there.

Still wondering peoples opinions on this question:

Any new writers or artists that have been break out stars since I've been away?

I wonder if tooth has space to foster very much new talent, even in a decade, as they have so many highly talented regular writers and artists. Still, surely there have been a few popular breakout stars?

Thanks very much for your reply!

Enjoyed what I read of Kingdom very much. I definitely read some of Ichabod and loved it. I am excited to check out Absalom. Looks great.

I'll have to check out all the new stuff from Rennie, Edginton, Spurrier, Ewing, Williams and Abbnett, or as much as I can. (Damn, that's probably a lot in 9 years!)

I fell away from reading the prog around 2010. Kept buying weekly until I realised I had a two year backlog!

Last Dredd storyline I can definitely remember is Tour of Duty, but I think I read a bit further than that.

I'd like to start reading the prog weekly again, but would like to catch up on some of the stuff I missed in between.

Will the Day of Chaos, Trifecta and Dark Justice collections catch me up with the majority of important events?

Are there any other Dredd stories that you would recommend I'd track down either for continuity or just for being great stories? (Trades ideally or digital back issues maybe, depending on how much that would cost).

Also, what are some of the popular new non-dredd series that I've missed out on? Any in that period that are screaming to be collected but only available in back issues?

Thank you!

Nigel Auchterlounie has posted a short 2000AD related comic.

I'm hoping there'll be more.

(apologies if this has already been posted. I did google to check)

I really like the cover designs. Minimalist with nice font choices. Unfortunately the spot red isn't very red on my book. It has a slightly wan tone to it; almost pinky. A tiny complaint that only the pedantic among us will even notice.

Probably won't get any beyond the introductory offer.

Why?

Because I'm broke  and have some of the stories in other formats.

Btw... for people checkin in about where it's available... I looked in a few places around Swansea yesterday but couldn't find it.

Got it in the market newsagents today and I would guess WH Smiths have it in now too.

Picked this up today. Hell of a book to get for two quid. Probably won't get any beyond the introductory offer. This is obviously something they've considered but I do wonder how much of a loss they will be taking on the first issue.

Looking forward to rereading these stories. Colin rocks
