Good luck Sharkie, or that's the spirit as Roy Battie would say.

But then there’s City of Courts. I’m trying again. It’s full of ideas, but I still find this strip a borderline incoherent mess. I guess we’ve got three more months of this.
Please Grud NO!! I have no idea why padding like this is in the Megazine (money?) hopefully we won't be getting the Grasscity Dredd, that was truly awful.

A Saturday Megazine - can we begin to hope Tharg's Rigellian Hotshots have done the trick?
The Dredd is intriguing and convoluted in equal measure this time - a very odd premise, but taking its time, which isnt a bad thing here.... still not convinced this shouldnt be "Wagner only" territory, but I;m going to assume he gave some sort of nod to it as the gent he is.... Lets see if the odd premise lleads to a clever twist/resolution!(as an aside, who else could imagine an Al Ewing version of this having the One Eyed Jack sections revert to 10 panels a page story telling)
Tonally, maybe running Storm Warning, Waugh and Death is a bit too horror heavy - of the three, the only one I'm really digging is Waugh.
Surfer remains the highlight, but that's only expected - MacNeils art always shines, but really looked lovely this week - Blythe being at least a good chunk of that with his colours
Overall, think do prefer the new Big Meg format, but mix it up a bit with the content I would say
This ^^^ plus bring back the contents page please Tharg! so much better than a random starscan stuck in between stories.
I skipped the death metal and storm warning. Death is such a tired old war horse, please stop flogging it, and the time jumps in Storm show this troupe has timejumped the shark.

« on: 19 January, 2023, 02:28:13 PM »Dredd – Enjoying this, was a bit wary at first, thinking there might be some serious stereotyping coming down the line, but no! A great story, great art and a great Dredd. Not too verbose for me: the action he takes blasting kidnappers away etc then giving a stock 'we're investigating' reply made me chortle.
Joe Pineapples – glanced over, just comes across as dated, tired and nonsensical.
Hope – read and enjoyed, but would like it rested for a bit now.
The Out – glanced over, but have lost interest, feels like its fumbled the ball a bit.
Proteus Vex – glanced over, just want to see some resolution to all this!
So not top proggage for me, where's the GRennie droid when we need him!

Prog very patchy in the East Lothian Radlands too.
Not the posties fault, 600 million to share holder and senior execs in one year! then the claim they are losing 1 million a day due to posties, why does no one hold these barstewards to account?
