Congrats Mabs!

Thanks Bat King! I'm really excited and looking forward to reading 'Fatties', esp. going on your and PCB's excellent reviews. Never thought I'd end up winning a copy! :-)

Result! 

Great news indeed - thanks Matt! :-)

Thank you Pop Culture Bandit - I'm really chuffed to have won! 

Can't wait to tuck into it when I receive it! 

Nice one, cheers! I had never noticed that before!!!

You're not the only one shaolin_monkey! For weeks if not months I've been going "eh, where the drokk is this damage report that everyone seems to be talking about", its only when I googled 'damage report 2000ad" did I get a clue, the rest was quite fun! I'd never have thought that I outta look there!

I've never read Nemesis before, you never know I might buy a copy myself soon!

Whaaaaaaaaat?! You need to correct that immediately. All Nemesis is great (well, 96%) but the stuff covered in the first 'phonebook' especially is just about as good as comics ever get.

What!!! Can't believe you have not read Nemesis!

It seems I'll have to beg, borrow or steal a copy now! 

God I love Jesus! 

The banner on this site's main page advertised the Redondo feature with the headline JESUS SPEAKS! I refuse to believe it was coincidence that right next to these words was a Nemesis speech balloon saying "Kill all humans!"

Cheers

Jim

Lol. I wish that was in the Meg! They do however, include a panel on the first page from Nemesis with the words "death to the humans"!

That's great news, thanks for that Joe! I'll try and track that prog down. :-)

[Come on Tharg, make it happen!]

I just finished a really excellent Interrogation by Michael Molcher of Jesus Redondo, in Meg #296.

The guy truly is special. I loved the way he described his love of paper to that of photoshop;

"..perhaps if I am clever enough, it might be possible for me to learn how to use photoshop, but there is one problem for me - I like paper. I think it's very lovely to be able to hold it in my hands, the smell, the feel, I like very much. If you love a girl at a distance, it's like the screen. With a book I think it's like I have the woman in my hands. If I feel the skin, the smell, it's different. It's more intimate."

God I love Jesus! 

He also ends the piece by saying he'd love to work for 2000ad again. Come on Tharg, make it happen! Even if it's for a special one off, this guy is truly one of the greats and it's the least he deserves!

(on another note, Alan Moore if you're reading this, then you best reply to that letter Jesus sent you some time ago!)

Okay. I'll rectify that as soon as time and money permits me! 

If I end up raving about it, then I can thank you and Hawkmonger for it!

That kid looks absolutely terrified!

It doesn't? Oh balls. Might as well wait and see if someone's willing to offload a copy on here. I've never read Nemesis before, you never know I might buy a copy myself soon!

[Solomon Kane]

Solomon Kane (another character created by Robert E. Howard, albeit lesser known than Conan) I must say I really enjoyed it! The opening was strong but the ending was weak but the film was a solid actioneer/ fantasy pic at least 2/3 of the way through until Balrog, sorry Balrog's distant cousin turns up for a showdown with our brooding hero. I loved the potrayal of Solomon Kane by James Purefoy, his look is very reminiscent of Van Helsing, but more badass. I loved the look and feel of the film which was set in medieval (or should that be medi-evil) England. There were some standout moments like Solomon's encounter with the creepy transmorphing witch and some excellent supporting turns from the late Pete Postlethwaite and a brief cameo from Max von Sydow, both of whom bring some gravitas to proceedings. I miss Pete Postlethwaite, he was snatched away from us too soon. 

There's a copy on eBay if you're interested;

They have 4 copies to sell, brand new.

"Land down under without the Kangaroos"? Hmm, is it the land where Hobbits go on perilous journey's and Elves take the piss out of Dwarves? That'll be New Zealand then! 

Welcome on board! I'm sure you'll have a lot of fun on here! 

I've had my Dell Laptop for near 6 years now without a hitch, I think the problem lies with the users. It's obvious they have no regard for their library's property.
