As has been said many times over the last few years it seems that the Judges of Mega City One are crap, unless they are Dredd. How on earth did it become the dominant city on the planet!

Oh I don't know, if you cut and paste ANY modern police force (upsized to suit) into Mega City One in place of the Judges I reckon they'd implode within 48 hours. I just think they suffer from Stormtrooper syndrome a bit too much sometimes, I actually cringe every time I see a Judge die in the prog now, bit like seeing a Panda dieing, ain't many left to go around!

Paul Giamatti in Ironclad. What a very odd casting choice.

Odd, but inspired. The very definition of scenery chewing.

Goaty, is that image from prog 1811? Just want to check before I click it.

I enjoyed Ironclad, but I'm not surprised in the slightest it made so little money, I think the first ad's I saw for it were for the DVD.

Whilst I love Batman (most of the time, sometimes, like all American superheroes, he's terrible) I think that DC are suffering from a wounded ego over the success of the Avengers, and that this will crash and burn. Not getting my hopes up!

(Not a big fan of Superman either, incredibly boring character and concept, but I do like what I have seen so far with Man Of Steel...)

No, in the VAST majority of cases films are made to make money, simple as that. The bigger the fanbase/societal awareness of a character/concept, the better, as it will hopefully make more money.

So where was it then?

Yeah but the Jack White/Alicia Keys theme was absolute tripe. Quite like the Chris Cornell one though.

I'm really enjoying this, the acting may not be up to scratch at times but the action is good and it's enjoyable in the 'webisode' format they're showing it in. Shame it wasn't picked up for the full series.

(I loved the BSG reboot, but agree that it seriously lost its way in the last couple of series.)

I see it that same way radiator, they were playing games with one another.

Having read it again I'm wondering if Bachmanns speech via radio to Hershey is meant to mimic the current economic situation we're in at the moment. She tells Hershey that [spoiler] spending billions to prop up an outdated 21st century societal model is never going to work, what's needed is a complete game change [/spoiler]. Even if it wasn't deliberate, it's creepily close to whats going on in many countries at the moment, effectively keeping society on life-support with money in the hope that things will get better even though you haven't actually changed anything.

I'm greener than your Speed Triple sat here looking at that helmet.

After last weeks late delivery this turned up smack on time.

Another stunning prog, really really good stuff from the Dredd world strips, and I can't wait to see it all come together next week. In comparison ABC was boring and kind of went out with a whimper after the shenanigans of weeks past, and I must (sorry!) say that Brass Sun was the same. It started off great yet this past three progs has just devolved into a talking head snooze-fest, with the end of this book being marked by nothing more spectacular than an old bloke talking binary and a [spoiler]mirror mirror on the wall inspired villain[/spoiler].

Must say again though how good the Dredd world strips are, I love all of them and they continue to elicit laughs and shocks in equal measure.

That helmet is just AMAZING. I want one.

Mine finally turned up. And WOW Dredd has kicked up a gear, fanastic stuff, and a brilliant final panel. Also loved the bottom left panel of Dredd on his Lawmaster, with his lower head hidden by his arm, looks totally badass.

Must say I prefer the Simp' depiction of the Black Ops personnel to the fly-eyed ones from Dredd, but it's a minor quibble.
