I liked 1, it had a proper story and characters and I thought 4 wrapped it all up very well.  2-3 was the usual self-indulgent Morrison tosh(TM).

Some fantastic stuff there, really good stuff.  

What a talented bunch of chaps.

The campaign for Judge Glasswell to die a painful and humiliating death starts here.

Pretty good prog.  

Tres Auschwitz

He wrote it for Starlord and they only bought first printing rights.

Maybe if it does well it'll get one.  

PJ Maybe... Invasion... it does happen.

Peace hasn't worked, shooting them hasn't worked, may as well set the badgers on them.

Monkey faced man-eating badgers, the roadmap to peace in Iraq.

I think it's probably gone as far as it needs to.

"Sigmund Freud has been banned since he was only registered to harass Peter The Wolf."

If it's an existing border who did this, and you have to assume it is, then really he should be banned, not just the alter ego.

However, as the consensus seems to be that on the scale of low down dirty things to do, it registers pretty low indeed, then maybe that is enough of a rebuke.

It's quite a shock to the system to hear that someone as young as James, 28, has died from heart failure.

James had his own small press comic outfit called Portent Comics, he put out some really nice comics and plugged away along with the rest of us.

I met him through the stalls, where we were next to each other at one of the London Winterfests and he also filmed the awards where a comic I was involved with won, and was kind enough to send me a copy of it afterwards.  

We met many times over the years trading small chat, comics and pleasantries as many of us in the small press do.  My main regret is that I didn't know him better, or have the chance to share more than a few words with him the last time we met.  After all, I was always going to bump into him again, wasn't I?

I always thought he was a great guy and I'm sure he would have had a great future ahead of him.  Very sad.

Cit of the Living dead was a tedious Fulci movie, I'm much more looking forward to the prog than that :)

I can honestly say I don't envy anyone who paid about a third of the books value.  It's a freak price, that some people were lucky enough to get because a company made a mistake which presumably cost them money.  

You can still get the book for just over £20, which seems a perfectly reasonable price.

It isn't over?  It looked over.  I assumed next week's mutant covered prog was the start of a new story with the same theme.

I enjoyed this prog and I don't enjoy much.

Defoe is hurtling along on all cylinders.

Dredd was a great if somewhat abrupt ending.  I was very dissapointed that with the recent Dolman story in the Meg, we didn't have Vienna meet the Fargo clan, I'm sure they'd have loved her to bits.  At least in this story Dredd didn't interfere with the law like he rather shamefully did with Dolman.  If I was that Judge I would have told Dredd to stick his badge up his arse for trying to blackmail him into overturning a verdict.  He stepped well over the line of just putting in a good defense for Dolman.  Now I remember Viennas cheap shot, it was a bad day for the Dredds.

Greysuit was quite good this week, I thought it read like a proper story.  I don't mean that to sound as bad as it does, it's got much more potential than is being currently realised.

Samantha Slade was a slight story, but still the best one we've seen so far, and one that for once didn't look like a pale imitation of robohunter.  This shifted profitably towards Halo Jones teritory I thought with a more human approach and characters.  More drama, less shooting and daft jokes and this could grow up into a fine handsome strip.

Yet to read Grendel, not a slur, I just haven't got to it yet.

It is a ripple in the fabric of the board that forms a 'bump'.  Sometimes, rarely, this may have a wave like effect, passing along the board, creating a string of bumps that displace other threads.  It is an unconscious release of energy (E) produced in relation to mental stress (B) as a result of exposure to thrill power (Q).

In equation form it is represented by E=4xB(2)/Q

Common superstition however insisists it is merely a way of bringing an ignored thread to peoples attention, or in the form of 'wave' or 'string' (and the two terms are too complicated to go into fully here) theory bumps it is merely a desire to get rid of a whole load of extraneous posts by El Sloano.  However, this pimitive belief should be discouraged, as it's ultimate conclusion is canabalism and nose elongation.

Do you like my tie?
