Prog / Re: Prog 2005 - The Claw at War!

Gerhart's appeared several times since Titan, Goaty, most recently in prog 2002, as part of the squad Dredd led in the mission to retrieve former Chief Judge Sinfield from the Sovs.

Since the events seen in the first part of Act Of Grud happened several months ago, is it safe to assume the Sinfield mission was a response to those events? Presumably, East Meg 2 got a lot more out of Marty than the location of Smiley's secret tunnels, but why would Sovs want to silence Tony Hilary Arthur Benn?

Brexit means ... at least one more vote (probably several): http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-37857785


Before the hallelujahs and goading begin, please remember how obnoxious you found it when Brexiters did so a few months ago.

If there's one thing this and the repellent US election should teach us it's that folk who want everything entirely their own way are the real enemy, and that grown ups resolve their differences by discussing the facts, listening to opposing views, and arriving at a compromise.

Which is what should have happened here in the first place.

There's no problem with the digital edition - I read mine yesterday. Are you using the app? Someone mentioned last week that the latest prog wasn't showing up at the top of the list, but was down the bottom right instead.

If that doesn't work, go to your account at the shop on this site. Your log in details are the same as for the app:

Let'a put this to rest for good, the horse DID exist. See THE MAN COMES AROUND for citations

The story when a delirious Dredd only ever sees the horse*, rather than the story where he thinks he mounts and rides it for a couple of episodes?

The fun thing about the horse is that nobody knows whether it's the Dredd strip picking up the magic realist strand last seen that time Dredd met a chatty moggy, a hallucination, or just Henry Flint wanting to draw Dredd on a horse because he's been going through a Frank Miller/Dark Knight Returns phase for the last couple of years.

Embrace the ambiguity of the indeterminate signifier.



* for just four panels

All digital subscribers owe it to ourselves to stay up till midnight then discuss the latest developments in the prog for the next 12 hours.

Done, although I'm unsure whether Neil from Chronos Carnival belongs in the positive category.

McMahon and Bolland used to have long discussions about whether to represent Dredd's eagle as a moulded, solid object or something constructed from moving parts. I imagine you went through the same process regarding Trump's hair.

Congrats on the gig and making the news. I remember buying something similar around the time of the OJ Simpson murder - they're fun: https://www.mycomicshop.com/search?TID=498361

I bunged you an extra 5p* because I enjoyed the raunchy sex romp. On that note, Michael's introduction is a candidate for Up The Arse Corner.

The Bear can draw comics; the David Lapham line compliments a natural sympathy with landscape, while that thing Carlos does where he splits a single image into two panels and the Elektra Lives Again staircase effect demonstrate confident storytelling.

Reads great digitally too, with most pages divided into three sections that fit the screen of your phone or tablet.

Seeing the cover has spoiled it for you.

(The Judge Child is a) classic Dredd tale, that is so often overlooked. Which considering that ALL three artists was firing on all cylinders, and the story itself which is top notch, is kinda odd.

Not to mention all the classic characters that were introduced with this tale

McMahon in particular pisses all over anything in Cursed Earth or The Day The Law Died; the stories and characters are funnier, more inventive, and more interesting.

The overall narrative might be seen as less satisfying. Unlike the Apocalypse War and the epics listed above, it ends with Dredd *not* doing what he set out to do.

It's like The Searchers if John Wayne had told Natalie Wood that pigtails and fake tan made her look too tarty, then flounced off home holding Jeffrey Hunter's hand.

The speech patterns of that character don't match Dredd, neither do the gloating tone nor the broad, toothy grin. The page following that scene, where Dredd describes his preferred method of putting the fear of Grud into juves as fixing them with a silent stare is much more in character:

I'm in the process of collecting Titans Charley's War (only have the first two) but might hold off collecting the rest to see what Rebellion is going to do with the series

"Titan Publishing have previously published and will continue to produce some material licensed from the archive"
