[2000AD Online]

When Alpha travels back to Earth with norm partner
Wulf Sternhammer at the request of the British
Government, he's returning to a place full of bad
memories of his violent and abused childhood at the
hands of his father, the bigoted Nelson Bunker
Kreelman. But now Upminster has a mission for the S/D
Agent that could alienate him from the very mutant
people he fought to free from oppression...

can't wait to see this... i can see that the recent 'headly foot' story - with it's comedy capers - was merely preparing us for some hardcore* action

thinky

* by hardcore i mean gripping and 'hard-as', not porn-like

This, I presume, was what Matt Smith was talking about when he spoke of something on level with Portrait of a Mutant.

Bloody nora!

Sorry for starting a new thread, but I couldn't get my comments to 'take' on the established one.

My verdict on Prog 1403 is: not as good as Progs 1400-1402.

Judge Dredd drags on a bit. This was a very slow episode. I know Dredd isn't normally given to self-doubt, but wouldn't it have been funny to have him turn over a card like a seven, and have him say "...and when I see the seven (oh stomm!) I am reminded of um... sector seven, where last week I broke up an organ-legging racket single-handed"? Alternatively he could actually have sat down and played cards. That might have kept the crooks busy for a while.

Strontium Dog wasn't at the top of its game this week, or for that matter during the whole run of The Headly Foot Job. Is it just me, or did anyone else find it distracting that Headly Foot kept going on about Wulf Sternhammer being fat when Headly himself was carrying a spare tyre?

ABC Warriors had a dire episode this week. It makes no sense, nothing's happening, and like the man said - what's keeping these Shadow Warriors? I'm getting bored with these kids whining about their stupid sky-dancer friend. Just shoot him already. What? He's dead? About bloody time then.

Caballistics Inc. is the best thing in the Prog. As I said on another thread, I don't buy this simultaneous adaptation of The Murders in the Rue Morgue and The Island of Dr. Moreau. But the attribution of the excerpt to Kim Newman was good for a laugh, and the sci-fi setting looked Quatermass enough (even if it's unlikely that Quinterman and Quatermass movies could exist in the same marketplace without a lawsuit being the result - I'd surmise that in the Cabs/Inc. world the Quinterman movies got made instead).

Bec & Kawl has won me over to the extent that I don't actually hate this storyline and I don't actually think it's the worst thing in the comic.
