Without wishing to sound paranoid, is it coincidence teh latest forum member is Sim.Bot! 

More seriously, how do they get by - thought you had to be granted privileges to post to stop that sort of thing?

Not to cast aspersions but on Sim.Bot's profile it has him/her/they listed as an Administrator. Either this is genuine or it may be how the bots are getting into the forum.

I really don't know and if Sim.Bot is genuine then i apologize!

[Dredd]

Dredd goes in all guns blazing and seems to make the situation much worse. As another boarder suggested a while back, perhaps Dredd is the Death character of the strip? Or perhaps not. Good episode.

Full Tilt Boogie does nothing for me at all!

The Diaboliks. This is the first episode I've liked (we're only three parts in). The artwork seems to catch my eye more so in this part, which isn't a complaint about the artwork, It's more of an observation on my part. Keep reading the strips your not keen on, it's only a few pages and you might grow to like it. I realize that same rule of thumb should also apply to Full Tilt Boogie but there's a lot about the strip I'm not keen on; Characters, dialogue, even the artwork. Others are enjoying the strip and that's fine.

The Order is quality of the highest order! Yes, it is too warm for a coat, etc. I wonder if Armoured Jeruubal is the unseen foe for Gideon?

The Out is a great new series. Visually striking with an interesting premise and lead character.

4/5 for me.

Cheers

[Dredd - Extraction.]

Striking cover by Paul Williams and Chris Blythe.

Dredd - Extraction. Dredd and Giant take a trip into the cursed earth to save a mining operation. Wonder minerals aside I do wonder where all of the cannon fodder Judges come? Stunning artwork!

Tales From The Black Museum - The Cackle. A tale of laughter and Plant-Thing Somethings that will possibly horrify you in more ways than one. It's a decent enough tale and the artwork is lovely.

Devlin Waugh - The Wolves Of St Vitus. Devlin and Dildo Titivilius go on holiday to Prague in this complete tale featuring Teens and a Werewolf. But not Teenwolf which is for the best. It's a decent enough tale with plenty of humor and a different art style courtesy of Patrick Goddard, with colours by Pippa Bowland. Very good indeed.

Blunt III - Part 8. Final episode in a series I wasn't sure of in the beginning but by the end has become one of my Meg favorites! This is despite them (seemingly) killing my two favorite characters and dashing my hopes of a Blunt and Conrad spinoff. Seriously though, great ending to a series I grew to love.

Lawless - Boom Town, Part 8. Kids talking politics and and some clown thinking he can put the squeeze on the locals. Lawless is another strip I wasn't sure on in the beginning but I have grown to love. The weaving of major disaster arcs with smaller character pieces is simply something to behold and it's always a visual treat.

The Floppy offers something different this month with a 22 page Tie-in for a Sci-Fi novel called The Chimera Code. There are also 6 Twisted Tales by the mighty Bob Byrne.

All in all - Outstanding!

Cheers

A question regarding the' Viewing who's online' - It shows People viewing topics and unknown actions but I've just come across this -

*Printing the topic "intercompany crossovers you'ld like to see".*

Is this an actual forum function or is it a bot? I'm not as computer literate as most of you and have no idea if this is something or indeed nothing?

Cheers

Utter Hosreshit!

I don't like Spam! I'm not a big fan of Luncheon Meat either.

Utter Horseshit!

Riddle Me Ree! - Bellend or Bot?

Just to clarify my Number 1 pick. It's American Reaper.

I actually consider American Reaper and The Reaper Files to be the same strip.

Cheers

As an aside, where was American Reaper in that original first post on this thread? Am I just being blind?

Yes you are right. I also noticed the list started at number 2). I guess that explains why. I totally forgot about. Might have to revise my list.

I too thought it was missing but saw The Reaper Files. One Google search later and this seems to be a recognized title for the (in)complete series.

I really wish this strip had been given another series. It was a new and interesting premise by Pat Mills and an eye-pleasing treat courtesy of Clint Langley.

Cheers

How do you spell 'nob' anyway?

In regards to describing certain individuals I've always used 'Knob' and variations thereof. I think the the 'K' adds more weight to the word/insult and 'nob' might be misconstrued as Nobility, which in themselves could also be Knobs.

Cheers

[Doom Eternal]

Doom Eternal. Loved the last one but struggling slightly to get into this one, although I've only done the first mission so far. Maybe I shouldn't have gone straight for Ultra-Violence this time?

Stunning game and Ultra-Violence is the lowest setting I'll play on. Currently stuck on Chapter 9 where things have gone mental and even with the full arsenal of weaponry and a host of upgrades I've acquired I'm left as a puddle on the floor. It's a hard game and I wouldn't want it any other way.

Pros: Beautiful graphics, fast and fluid gameplay, It's Doom.

Cons: None that I can think of.

Cheers

Did you turn 42 today?

I did indeed! Well done, sir. I'm now on the fast track towards CodgerVille.

Did somebody mention biscuits? I'll have a couple of Ginger nuts to go with me cuppa.

Cheers

I am the answer to the Ultimate Question!

[Dredd - Plunder, Part 3.]

Before we talk strips I'll mention the Obituary to the late, great, Ellie de Ville. Unsung star of many a strip who is missed by many!

Lovely cover by Karl Richardson.

Dredd - Plunder, Part 3. Final part of this and as much as I enjoyed the tale I was hoping to see more from the sunken (Again?) city. Stunning artwork!

Devlin Waugh - A Very Large Splash, Part 3. Devlin is the star of the Meg this month with an episode that is hilarious and horrific in equal measure. An outraged talking Cock, Face eating and playing with matches - Sounds like fun!

Blunt III - Part 3. Blunt continues to brighten up the Meg with its tasty artwork and incredible Alien-Creature designs. Still not sure how this will end but it's an entertaining read none the less.

Zombie Army - Last Rites, Part 2. Lots of bullets and exploding heads followed by a bit of chat in a shed. As I've said before I have never played the games this is based on but that may actually be for the better as I've no pre-conceived notions of what is or could be going on. All waffle aside, I like this strip.

Lawless - Boom Town, Part 3. A day in the life of Badrock and tensions mount as Monsters are discussed and a riderless bike drifts in to town. Glorious stuff!

other text pieces include an Interrogation with Martin Simmonds and a new book , Battle Stations by Hugo Pratt and Donnie Avenell.

Top Meg!

Cheers
