If at the very least it gets more Americans into Dredd and 2000 AD, that can only be a good thing.

Right on.

Brendan1- What became of Fonky's body?

FTFY

All hail Sir Nolan saviour of the superhero franchise 

If I can be so bold as to quote Crowded House; 'heeyyy now, heey now'
- lest we not forget the very original and gothic conception and redesign of batman and his universe, not to mention the Joker in Tim Burton's original 1989 film?Just comparing the two strains of the same franchise; I still hold Batman (1989) to be as good as The Dark Knight (though I have to admit this maybe due to nostalgia reasons perhaps), and I think Batman Begins is just as good as Batman Returns.
With The Dark Knight Rises about to come out, I wouldn't mind Burton taking up the Bat-mantle or at least
giving an interview to state where he would have taken the franchise if he had continued and made a trilogy in the 1990s.

Judge Blake, I'm afraid- Ahem- you're going to have to hand in your badge. And your Lawgiver.

But again Marvel had already laid a somewhat solid base with Iron Man and to some extend Captain America/Thor DC atm don't really have that bar Bat Man but again if this is truely the last for Bale and Nolan there isn'r much of a foundation unless henry Cavill take's on the mantle

Bale likely won't be back as Batman, [spoiler][/spoiler]but there could well be a new screen 'Batman' by the end of Dark Knight Rises[/spoiler]

Has great potential.
Although the obvious benchmark for comic book games is 'Arkham Asylum' / 'Arkham City', this could be comedic gold.

Another succinct round-up Buttonman, Let's hope TMO keeps those Letters pages going- they normally have more quality content than a Durham Red / Cadet Anderson strip.
The end of the road to 10,000 is almost in sight, I certainly hope 'Paisley's favourite son' is sending enough weekly correspondence to ensure he tastefully features in that landmark Prog.

IRISH RAPPERS REVEALED IS ON BBC 3.

Geh a feckin loife Godpleton!

It mightn't be what some would consider cool to admit, but I actually really liked Swierczynski's 25 issue run on 'Cable' a few years ago, and would genuinely think he's got a handle on how to write gruff uncompromising old men with big guns. 
I agree the promo art shown thus far could've been better, but I will give this a try- if it measures up to some of the recent Megazine Dredd's I might even stick with it.

Agh.

It's here anyway...

Lookin good. Real good.

I fell in love with Marjorie Liu after googling and seeing only one pic of her.

Was it this one?

I'm gonna photo-shop my pasty Irish self into that pic, replacing the (sock-covered?) tree.

[WALKING DEAD: A LARGER WORLD]

IS this the right place for this? Can't find a LAST COMIC or TRADE READ thread?

Anyway, WALKING DEAD: A LARGER WORLDI right enjoyed this despite it having a beardy character who refers to himself as Jesus in it and some of Andrea's dialogue sticking a PLEASE KILL ME NOW sticker on her. 

There are some nicely played out fight scenes, some nice character beats and the introduction of, as the title would suggest, new communities and "a larger world". Some nice Carl moments as well. He's an intensely disliekable child.

Rick goes through two remarkable turnarounds during the course of the 100 odd pages. The first, where he suddenly decides [spoiler]"that maybe we should trade with The Hilltop people[/spoiler]" in the middle of slaughtering zombies is a bit of a stretch to believe and rushed but the final conclusion of [spoiler]"we can build an army and start living not just surviving"[/spoiler] is a nice and natural progression.

I'm always a sucker for the art and graytones (a few mutated views of Paul/Jesus face notwithstanding).

The wait between trades is killing me(I'd love to buy the comics to get up to speed but that'd just muck up my bookshelf),

I couldnt wait for the next trade either, so downloaded the next few...1/2 price this week on Image / Comixology App.
Though the bookshelf would be a problem going that route I suppose!

Saw these in Forbidden Planet today and as I quickly looked at them all I thought was they feel flimsy, god haven't comics gone up in price and don't they look a bit pants.

The 'self cover' craze has led to the majority of comics having the structural integrity of a tea-soaked Hob Nob.

Mods,  can you spoiler tag LINK PRIMES spoilerific reply please. I've seen it but maybe you can help some other unfortunate soul.

Sorry man, I genuinely don't know how to 'spoiler tag' it, and I can't modify it now.
Its not that big a secret though is it? I mean, anyone that's read or even knows the general premise of 'Knightfall' is aware that its a probable DNR plot template don't they?

What, you mean the triangular chest-plate hinting that its the Azrael-Batman?
