Title: 2014 Sci Fi Special review
Post by: Bad City Blue on 20 May, 2014, 01:35:22 PM
i would have posted this in the reviews section, but I can't post or reply there. I have no idea why.

Anyway, here's my relatively spoiler free review of the return of the Sci Fi Special.

Interesting review of a long awaited return to the 2000AD summer specials.

Not sure if you are saying this is the first Judge Dredd summer special story written by a lady or if its the first JD story written by a lady? If the latter, thats incorrect as she co-wrote 'Suicide Watch' and more recently her debut as a lone writer was the Dredd story 'Ferals'.

Ah - I misunderstood the blurb. it is a story from the "first female writer to write Dredd", not her first story.

Bit confusing. Now edited  ;)

Looking forward to reading this when it hits the shops, especially after reading the review of the Dredd story. May have to dig out the Stront story for reference ;)

It probably doesn't help that I've recently re read my Stront collection and it was quite fresh. A good, funny story, featuring very early Colin MacNeil art (I think he is the first to draw SD in the prog aside from Ezquerra)
