Howdy,
This is one of my first ventures outside of the prog-reviewing threads, so please forgive a bit of shameless self-promotion on my part. I've been writing about music and games for a few years now, but late last year I started tentatively moving into the comics criticism sphere - thought a few of you might be interested in the stuff I've done so far. I'll no doubt post up new stuff as it's done. I have a (hopefully) regular blog at PopMatters (http://www.popmatters.com/) called "British Invasion" which as you might expect is going to feature a lot of 2000 AD-related musings.
First off, I did a feature on "Bloody Mary" (http://www.popmatters.com/pm/feature/130957-bloodletter-ennis-ezquerras-autopsy-of-the-female-action-hero-genre/), the series Garth Ennis and Carlos Ezquerra did for Helix back in the late 90s.
Recently I've reviewed a new Zorro comic (http://www.popmatters.com/pm/review/135650-zorro-the-defeat-of-destiny-love-never-ends/) from the new Australian indie publisher Silver Fox comics. I commented that the art is rather Leigh Gallagher-esque to me...
And here's British Invasion #1 (http://www.popmatters.com/pm/post/134545-/): it's a quick introduction to the wave of British creators who made waves in the States in the 80s, and has an introduction to the British comics scene now, too. #2 is going to be about the "Muzak Killer" Dredd stories from the 90s... and how they connect to The X Factor!
Would love it if you had a peep, any thoughts would be appreciated, and there's more coming soon!
I've done another British Invasion blog (http://www.popmatters.com/pm/post/136328-/), this time about Garth Ennis' "Muzak Killer" Dredd stories and The X Factor...
