Crazy cool cover and news of more The Order - hurray!
Dredd Over before it started really. There's some interesting ideas here, both about the dreams and about Dredd himself, but this feels like a prologue to something bigger. I'm not sure about all this dream recording when the story seems to be more talking about memories - I'm pretty sure my dreams don't contain snatches of events and conversations I've had IRL, perhaps thats because I'm not rich and powerful!
The Diaboliks Better than last week largely because of [spoiler]the bloke getting taken out with a cricket ball - the Prog needs more 'Bok' in the post-Mean Machine era[/spoiler] - and someone called Lady Phantasmagoria. This is better than the Rome arc and there's some good character designs but the same problem remains that the protagonists I neither like nor care about.
Dexter Not terrible but so bland. It's amazing that this and The Out are written by the same person. Like IP, I too would prefer SinDex to stop, but if it is continuing then Tazio Bettin turns in some more lovely art and given how good his combat stuff was last time out I am looking forward to (hopefully) seeing him draw a robot fighting some dinosaurs next week.
Scarlet Traces Hard to comment on this each week without repeating myself on the art which is super lush. Story excellent and unexpected. Love the panel with the martians and given what's said there, it feels like this is winding up? Full marks.
The Out I had a small knock at The Out last week saying it was a bit too lightweight and suddenly you realise the plot was just taking a backseat. Two interesting developments here. I'll just go back to enjoying each week as it comes and stop my foolish critique.
