[but why is Mean Team so popular, isn't it a bit rubbish (quite a lot ribbish?).

overwhelmingly, surely, belardinelli?

was a sporadic reader for much of my life (it always irked me that the prog was on sale on various planets but not anywhere in central or eastern europe - and i am allergic to digital comics). the summer offensive repelled me for a long time, anyway. and while nothing will ever again compare with moore and belardinelli, i've had a weekly fix for a few years, now, and i guess we should always remind ourselves how lucky we are.

when i committed to a full-on return to the prog (basically because the prog was clearly entering another golden age) i must admit that i was almost put off completely by some of the higher-profile fan output (not in this parish) being so insufferably negative and intolerant.
so much (but not all) of the original golden age of 2000ad was unsubtly satirical, progressive and a glance into what dystopias might await us if we continued blindly into the night of the far right. i don't know what the anti-woke brigade were reading when they were seven, but i know what i was reading. judge dredd is america. halo jones's hoop is pretty much here. invasion and savage? ukraine.

i haven't lost the order entirely. it lost me. beautiful to look at, but needlessly tortuous and conceptual.
it gives me a headache. it makes me feel stupid. and it has little discernable sense of actual character.

outlier, on the other hand, was alright.

the constant and deliberate targeting of children.
it would be truly sordid to give the time of day to any supposed justification for this. the only possible explanation is genuine evil born of extreme sociopathy.
