There was a rumour going around that Milligan had written some episodes of now-defunct TV soap "Crossroads", but that may have just been a hilarious name-a-like.

Brendan McCarthy is also, apparently, a conceptual designer working on the next Mad Max film.

Chris Cunningham is supposed to be involved in a forthcoming comics/movie adaptation, but I forget which one. It's on www.comics2film.com somewhere.

...Carey's run on Hellblazer has apparently now been increased to 14 issues (from the original 6), replacing Brian (100 Bullets) Azzarello.

Andy Diggle is also doing a 4-issue miniseries for Vertigo, spinning out of Hellblazer continuity ("Lady Johanna").

There are two more Ennis Dredd books to come, AFAIK:

"Muzak Killer" will reprint the title story, "MK:Live!", plus "Teddy Choppermitz" and "Raider".

"Innocents Abroad" will reprint IA, "Babes in Arms", "The Rough Guide to Suicide" and "Blind Mate".

We haven't firmed up any further Dredd paperback collections as yet. Meanwhile, there's Strontium Dog: Portrait of a Mutant, a Nemesis hardcover (details TBC), "The Day the Law Died" (Judge Cal) hardcover, Rogue Trooper, Bad Company: Goodbye Krool World, and a couple more, details TBC. That should be it up til 2003.

Ennis is soon to do another series of "War Story" oneshots.

As we're reprinting most of the 80s TF stuff - we started with the US and will soon be doing UK - your best chance is probably to offload them onto a collector, rather than someone who just wants the stories.

Ebay is almost certainly a good bet, especially as there seems to be a lot of buzz on TF atm.

"theres a video director too(Chris Halls?)"

...aka Chris Cunningham, director of The Aphex Twin's "Come to Daddy" and "Windowlicker". Changed his name after a brief stint on 2000AD (incl. a part of 'Judgement Day').

"Rian Hughes"

...is a brilliant designer, like Chris Ware, but as an artist? I dunno...

Moebius, for one.

Liberatore's doing a section in Neil Gaiman's forthcoming "Sandman: Endless Nights" book.

Kurt speaks 57 words in the entire movie. You can count 'em if you can be arsed...

Warren Ellis and Jerry Ordway are currently working on Planetary/JLA, with Planetary/Batman scheduled to follow (sometime). Unfortunately, Ellis' JLA/Authority proposal was canned.

Marvel and DC comics are set in two different universes. Marvel's are real-world; Spider-Man operates in NYC, etc, whereas DC's are on a fictional earth with fictional cities standing in for real ones; Metropolis=NY etc.

If you're doing horror/darker stuff, try Opi8.com - there's also NextComics.com, and they both run online strips.

Spaced Season 2 is out on DVD in the UK... and that's the sum total of Spaced. I believe there may be a Season 3, but no confirmations I'm aware of as yet.
