I'm sure there's been a multitude of, "don't you know who I am", type utterances from Dredd throughout the strips history, I really don't see a flaw in Rennie's interpretation of the character.

Oooh! One other thing. Has anyone heard if/when Bandetti Vendetta is coming back? Loved that strip!

I really dont share many of the negative attitudes directed towards The Meg, from many boarders.
For me, the publication is maintaining a very high quality at the momemt, especially when compared to the decline of the mid-nineties.
The lead Dredd story is of a very high quality and has frequently been better then many of the multi parters in the weekly, of late.
Fiends is also a classy number and I dont find it's reduced page count each month a huge problem.
Now to Black Siddah. While it's fair to assume it's an acquired taste, it's one this particular reader has. It's something a bit different and quirky-and for that reason, I'm prepared to tolerate it.
It has settings and characters I'm unfamiliar with and that's one of the main reasons I enjoy ir, despite of any shortcomings it may have, in the storytelling departments.
Overal, taking these factors in to account and combined with the feature articles and the small press stuff, I find the Meg excellent value at ?2.99(not even a pint).
Felt it was time to offer a possitive opinion for a change.

I really enjoyed America 2, too. But the fact that it wasn't fully painted, really was to its detriment. Here's hoping pt 3 will have Macneil's super sexy painted stuff!

Holy goat fondler! I can't beleive it! That's very good news! That should increase the Megs circulation. Before I do lynch you, though-you did mean Wagner and Macneil, I hope(sharpens axe).

Hold on! You America 3, As in America, that landmark Dredd story? If so, that will me mighty cool. As long as Macneil is prepared to paint his own artwork this time.

No worries, Sixmo! It hasn't turned up yet, it's coming from the States. But if you still want it, when it arrives, give me a shout.

Like an idiot, I was so concerned of missing #2, I ordered 2 copies! The second copy hasn't arrived yet, but if you want it, I'll sell it, on its delivery.

Shit! Nearly missed issue as it must have passed my radar somehow. All the usual outlets I used had sold out, was lucky enough to find a copy at www.thecomicguru.co.uk, phew!
Great issue, by the way. This really is a cracking little title-highly recommended.

There's been so many superb artists, it's hard to pick a favourite. Bolland's got to be in there somewhere, with some of the most iconic Dredd imagery in existence. Accompanying him, must be: Steve Dillon, Carlos Esquerra, Ron Smith, Trevor hairsine, Jim Murray, Mike Mcmahon, Greg Staples, Chris weston, Mike Collins, Cliff Robinson, Ian Gibson.
I'd dearly like to see Ron Smith make a return and Mike collins has been away too long too!

Gotta say I trust Nintendo far more on quality of build and reliability!
I've had my cube since launch and in that time, my mates gone through three PS2'
Wii, all the way, baby!

Only in emotional scale, rather than epic scope, in the case of Mandroid.
Though if you consider a mega-epic to be a story that has a profound impact on the Dredd verse as a whole, then Blood Trails did that.
