so, without spoiling it for us, what`s it about? Why is it so good? The picture on the back of the Meg looked interesting.

excellent, a boarder who`s older than me. GermanAndy, do you want `the Oldie` when I`ve finished it?

Getting older doesn`t stink. It certainly beats the alternative.
 Not to disparage the young people here (ie everyone) but to quote Zenith`s last outing "there were times I thought I`d die of sheer stupidity" back in the 80`s.

yours ummm oldly,

I`m 41, as you can probably tell from my picture. I`m 15 inside though.

Now I`m curious. Why exactly is Digital Justice so bad? What happens in it?

. "All I ask of a writer is that they satisfy their own creative goals, if those goals are similar to mine I'll buy their work, if not, I won't"
 This being the case, why bang on about how 2000ad should be different and Cookie was too childish? The creators were following their own creative goals.
 To me the question of what Pat Mills would think were he to read the posts doesn`t really matter. That would be his look out. I wouldn`t expect the posts to change his opinions, regardless of how well.

Chimp, that`s a well-written evaluation of Mills and how you feel about his work.
 If it`s true that he doesn`t owe us anything. It`s equally true we don`t owe him anything, so I think the question of wether our comments would help is not a valid one. If he chose to read the board that would be his look out. A creator who does that should make sure they have a skin like a rhino.
 

 For mine, Blood of Satanus started out brilliant and got silly towards the end.
 By the way, chimp`s posts and the post about "he`ll be back, you mark my thought-bubble" were great.
 The Orlok remark was very silly, the kind of thing Dredd would have said in the 70s but not for a long time.  We may never know if it was a parody.
  It was certainly better than the aimless garbage that was Black Siddha! A great premise and then it goes nowhere after one gooed scene. It would be nice if Black Siddha two was great, but I`m not holding my breath. Me, I`m waiting for the next ABC Warriors.

yours a Mills fan in spite of the above,

Floyd

Dredd in french! This I must buy! Is there anything in Japanese?

yours trilingually

when Chopper was flying to Oz, on his way to the Supersurf competition, his power ran out over a ship. The ship was abandoned except for Cookie, who turned out to have gotten angry with the ships crew and cooked all of them. Chopper was half way through a plate of Midshipman Johnson brisket before he found out. Cookie wanted to kill him for throwing up in his nice kitchen but Chopper asked for a plate of braised Captain Murphy before he died, then attacked Cookie while he was cooking it. He then had a fight with Cookie and blasted him overboard somehow.
  The crew names are made up because I can`t be bothered getting my Judge Dredd in Oz book out of storage to check. It`s a terrific book though.

it`s funny what a search on Dogpile images turns up. This is what Max really looks likehttp://www.sempai.org/~mwduncan/jpoppics/max1.jpg">

ummmm (very carefully) I meant your resemblance to your previous, helmetless icon

Floyd (who doesn`t have a car)

JimboSan wins the prize for icon resembling. Dudley, that`s a lovely picture.

I was going to post the picture to a completely different message board. Never mind which one.
 I picked up Roy`s lawgiver by mistake, blew my hand off and confiscated his Godzilla doll to teach him not to leave his lawgiver lying around the house
 it`s perspective
 ummmm
  never mind

aaargh! I can`t remember, but it`s not what it looks like!

yours red-facedly
