Just take a look at the background of part two of Chopper. Lovely, isn't it. Incidental details that don't get in the way of the actual story telling but just give it a nicely Meg feel.
Fatties, weird fashions, elbow pads, robots, aliens, Boing, Sump co, the Harlem Heroes...
This is what the Big Meg should be like.

Makes the story better doesn't it, especially on second+ reading. Just shows how many more untold stories there are out there to be told.

Oh, and additional details like the fact that the lad in the Harlems vest being visible on the page before making his way towards the big yin just strengthens the story telling sooooo much.
Plus if you re-read episode 1 you'll note the accomplice is onboard the flight with Chop.

I'm with you.
I was gutted that I missed the chance to buy G&T art at Dreddcon. Next time, make yourselves known, lads!
As I said on a prog review thread, I'm very much enjoying watching their work develop.
I know neither is exactly new, but as a US-style art partnership, it's blossoming into something very nice indeed.
I always go for detailed art like this.

Is that a Dylna Teague colouring job in this weeks Dredd? It's very nice.

Top marks from me as well. It's nice to have little background details that provide extra information but that aren't intrusive.
This episode of Chopper would be a fine calling card for any Batman work.
I like the way that they've managed to make everything look real - the kneepads and shoulder pads and funny fashions look right on the people in this story in a way that they don't look comfortable on, say, John Burns* or even some of the David Roach stuff in the Judge Dredd story this prog. A lot of the Roach pencilled Mega-city fashion just reminds me of bad sixities and seventies fancy dress parties I attended.
Don't get me wrong, I like Burns' art, I just think he's better suited for some things than others - the madness of Mega City isn't one of them.
I also liked the colours in both Dredd and Chopper. I think colour is one of the things that makes Richard Elson's art (A.H.A.B) look a bit samey - again fine art, I just don't think his use of colour brings it alive or helps the story along in the same way as Chopp or Dredd this week.
