Wow. Drokk me that looks good! And Del Toro at the helm too, not to mention Ron Perlman (who is fast becoming the De Niro to his Scorsese!). I cannot wait for this.

Zombo - Planet Zombo Part 7

Absolutely hilarious stuff! My favourite moment had to be Simon Cowell and the Presidents Thumb war! That had me laughing out loud! The last page and Padre and Zombo's suicidal leap into war on an Endor-esque planet filled with Disney's dastardly hordes, was plain awesome.

Waaaaaaaaaaait a second - ! I literally only just figured out why the army is Star Wars-influenced. Talk about slow on the uptake... 

Don't worry Dark Jimbo - happens to us all! 

Hi Rascal, glad to have you on board! 

What are you? Some sort of twee girly boy? Sunshine is ace.

One of my favourite movies full stop. Danny Boyle works magic in every genre he dips in.

Without doubt! Sunshine is an outstanding film, one of Boyle's best and very much near my top 10 sci-fi films. It's like a jalgemation of all the great sci-fi films; 2001, Alien and so on. And Boyle pulls it off brilliantly, hell I even love the head trippy ending!

Wow thats news to me! Thanks sheldipez, i just might invest in them! 

Nice Lone Wolf and Cub collection there, SM.

I agree, those must've cost a fair bit! I've always wanted to read Lone Wolf and Cub.

Wow, you loaned Blacksad from your library Dan? Result!

These are the comics I currently have on loan from my local library in East London;



Days of the Bagnold Summer
Judge Dredd Case Files 11
The Mammoth Book of Crime Comics
Billy The Kid And The Ghastly Fiend of London
Marvel Zombies 2

 

A superb wrap-around cover from Ben Willsher. Loved the colour tone and the sickly almost sepia toned back ground. The detail in the artwork was excellent.

Judge Dredd - The Forsaken Part 2

P.J Holden's artwork is the strongest point here, the story however is not as enjoyable as previous Dredd stories sadly, even Carroll's own 'Wolves' storyline a while back which was far more fun. Still i did like the first part so hopefully it'll pick up in the next episode. 

Tharg's 3riller - Gunheadz Part 2

More awesome artwork from Boo Cook with some interesting developments in the story aswell. We start to learn more about the Gunheadz and the mysterious Mr. Aitken. I thoroughly enjoyed this middle instalment and look forward to the concluding part. I must say The Gunheadz reminded me of another Boo Cook starring comic; Elephantmen with hybrid creatures much like the Gunheadz here created for war, then left in limbo with a whole set of problems.

Dandridge - The Copper Conspiracy Part 8

This was the final episode of the series and I must say I was a little saddened to see it come to an end. I havent taken to it like i did with The Red Seas, but it was still enjoyable. The series  started pretty low key and started getting interesting midway through especially when we met the villainous Max Beta who for me was one of the most memorable characters of recent memory.  My favourite moment in this episode had to be Dandridge's fight atop the bus against a horde of deranged Robo-coppers and Shelley's head hop! This was followed by some dark goings on in high places involving the Prime minister. The story ended in low key fashion but a nice one at that.

Stickleback - Number Of The Beast Part 8

More great stuff from Edginton and D'Israeli. It took a while in my view to get going, but Stickleback since the last couple of Progs, has been very enjoyable. This time it's a race against time as the 'scaly skinned shitehounds' (according to Stickleback!) come a-calling.....in droves. D'Israeli's artwork is again top notch here.

Zombo - Planet Zombo Part 7

Absolutely hilarious stuff! My favourite moment had to be Simon Cowell and the Presidents Thumb war! That had me laughing out loud! The last page and Padre and Zombo's suicidal leap into war on a Endor-esque planet filled with Disney's dastardly hordes, was plain awesome.

Thrills of the future: delighted to see Brass Sun in the line-up, can't wait to see it back in the Prog!

All in all, a satisfying thrill with Gunheadz, Dandridge and Zombo being the stand out for me.

4/5

Panel of the week;

A digital edition sounds like a great idea. That way for someone like myself who hasn't read all the stuff, I can die happy in the knowledge that i have read the entire series - for me The Red Seas is just awesome.

Interesting stuff, Skullmo. Thanks!

Oh yes!!! I see the zero stories are coming to the floppy soon - I remember loving these!

What are the zero stories if you don't mind me saying? Was it something in the mould of Tharg's 3riller and Futureshock? 

I'm midway through reading Hawkeye: My Life As A Weapon Vol.1, and i dunno, i feel a tad underwhelmed by it. I had high expectations going in especially with all the positive words surrounding it. I'm just about to start #4 (The Tape), so hopefully things'll get more interesting.

I also finished Judge Dredd: Case File 11, the standout without doubt was Revolution and Oz. The latter was absolutely thrilling! I was on the edge of my sofa reading the Supersurf 10 race, so drokking thrilling - almost as same as watching  a live action race, no lie! And the finish was one i did not expect, but having said that it was very refreshing. How many times will the hero end up winning something like that in an American comic? [spoiler]In fact his loss increased my respect for Chopper ten fold.[/spoiler]

And how cool is this, by Steve Dillon?



Awesome stuff.

Looks great! Looking forward to watching it! 

Jim was saying earlier in the thread that Minty and co deserve a medal for their magnificent endeavours in getting the film realised, and i wholly agree. If i had my way i'd have you guys knighted! Awesome work from everyone involved. On this evidence, i'm certain i'm not alone in saying that i want to see a drokking sequel!
