[Punisher: Soviet #3]

Punisher: Soviet #3 was every bit as good as the previous two and we're getting to the meat of the story now, figuratively and literally.

Frank Castle really seems to bring out the best in our ex-droid Garth Ennis and his continued strong writing and the fantastic art makes this an essential read.

Well that was a badly edited dog's dinner! 

One word review: Crapula!

I got the opposite impression - it's nice to see the old brands get an airing, but beyond hoping Roy Race gets a boost every time the sportball fights are on tv again, I don't see any long-term strategy beyond gouging existing fans of their dwindling pension money.

What, by publishing a hugely broader range of titles, targeting multiple interests and age groups outside the core 2000AD-reading demographic, and actually getting those titles into high street outlets?

Yeah, that's precisely the sort of thing we should be greeting with studied cynical ennui.

Yeah, Grud forbid Rebellion try and cultivate new readers and a broader audience!!! 

1: Machine Law
2: Guatemala
3: Control

The E-wing Droid is a great loss to the prog, TMO should kidnap him back from the yanks, even if it upsets The Donald. 

TMO has only gorn and done it! the E-wing droid will return! 

Maybe not the last we'll see of the Ewing droid in the Prog either, at least according to his Twitter account! 

Did anyone catch this?

I enjoyed it despite most of the Pertwee edges being shaved off.

Random musings HERE!

Yeah, loved it!

Hope we get more!

Another fantastic John Williams score too!

The last John Williams score (for Star Wars, at any rate).

Yeah, read that too!

Must be hard to come up with anything fresh on the composition front and nine films is a pretty good run, so I reckon he's more than earnt his retirement from the franchise! 

Hopes for a positive resolution to this worrying situation!

[The Rise Of Skywalker]

I won't labour the point but I greatly enjoyed The Rise Of Skywalker, considerably more on the second viewing actually, and I found it a satisfying conclusion to this trilogy.

Daisy Ridley's acting was far more assured and consistent in this film and the storyline hit many effective emotional beats for me.
The movie was paced well and there weren't the lulls present in the previous two.
Sure, there were plot contrivances, but the entire saga has suffered from those, so it's unfair to level that criticism at this film alone.
Also the film benefited from real emotional heft, something the prequels almost totally lacked-that coupled with the tying up of most of the plot threads, makes it something of a minor triumph for me.
Another fantastic John Williams score too!

What terribly sad news!

Thanks for all the letters Ellie.

RIP.

I read my Prog in story printed order and like to savour it over the week (can't have concentrated thrill-power, too dangerous) and usually finish it on the Tuesday ready for Prog release day on the Wednesday, where I pick it up from my local thrill merchant!
