No More Heroes is my recently-launched debut comic. Here's the teaser ad for it:



It's a four issue mini-series with a twisty turny plot and lots of dark humour. Even if you think the plot's a bit guff (it's not! Honest!) I can safely bet you'll like Caio's artwork (I might have to chain him down to make sure he finishes the issues before a publisher nabs him).

You can read the first ten pages for free on our website: http://nomoreheroescomic.wordpress.com/.

I've been reading this since issue one and can easily recommend it. The art work is stunning and ridiculously detailed and the story's a fun, inventive romp.

Stokoe's 'Wonton Soup' is also worth a read. It's a crazy sci-fi story about a gifted chef who travels across the universe looking for things to, well, kill and cook. The two TPBs can be picked up on the cheap.

That beard's fooling no one! We all know it's a woman underneath.

Or I have watched Life of Brian too many times..?

Tour of Duty's definitely at the top of the list. I've read America one and two, plus the PJ Maybe stuff up 'til the point he became Mayor - does that give me enough backstory going in or are there some stories I should read before going in? I'm happy to 'do the groundwork' if it makes Tour of Duty a more satisfying read.

Thanks again everyone for helping out - as sauchieboy said, it would've been a hell of a daunting process trying to dive blind into such a big pile of missed issues. You've made things so much easier!

Thank you for the welcomes and lack of beatings for leaving the fold. Do I get bonus points for identifying the "Stay awhile..." quote from Impossible Mission? (ahh the good old days of waiting ten minutes for my C64 to maybe load a game depending on how it felt at the time).

It was around Prog 1450 - 1500ish period that I stopped reading 2000AD and the Meg, so a hefty chunk to catch up on! Thanks for all the recommendations - I'll start with the Dredds, of course, and then maybe Cradlegrave, which I've seen pick up a lot of good reviews recently. Zombo sounds like a must-read too.

It's good to be back. :D

Hello. I'm Gordy and I have a confession to make. I am a lapsed 2000AD reader (please don't hit me!). I stupidly let my subscription go during dark, dark days of unemployment and evilness.

But I'm back! A friend told me I had to read Dredd: Origins. I did, loved it, and am now dedicated to returning to the warm glow of 2000AD.

So could anyone please help me out by telling me the key Dredd stories I should track down from recent years to get back up to speed with what's happeneing to Old Stoneyface? Also, recommendations for other stories, TPBs etc I should pick up would be greatly appreciated.
