Other Reviews / Re: Prog 1385

i realise the next prog is already being reviewed, but what the hell.

Like the Watcher, I don't like this Dredd story much, and was very supprised to see that everyone on the net seemed to like it. Dredd seemed completely out of character, especially in the first part. If Dredd disagrees with other Judges, he usually reasons with them logicaly. he dosent just go into a strop and say "im Dredd, so im right, so there!"
the same applied to Rico, though it has been sugested that this could be showing some inherent flaw in him that we are yet to see. sadly, it just seemed that neither of the Dredds were staying true to character. so far, this story doesn't seem to have amounted to anything. usually when the Sovs turn up, they provide a damn good story (the first pages of the first epesode filled me with such hopes) but here they just feel like a random enemy with scenes straight out of any of the standard "dredd leads group against badguys" mega epic.

this most recent Rouge story disapointed me, up until this last part, which somehow made the entire story a bit better. Ive enjoyed all the new Rouge arc, but how come we didn't get to see more of that venus bluegenes look alike we saw a few christmasses back?

Bec and Kawl i usually love, but with this one i just didnt get the joke. or rather i did, it just wasnt funny. come to think of it, the only other Bec and Kawl story i didn't like was the first one with the weed plant guy in. hmm, a conection possibly?

Im new to Durham Red, having only started following her adventures with the Death Prog. only really started to like her by the end of the vermin stars, at which point she died. oh well i thought, never mind. then came her appearences in the megazine, whcih made me happy to see her return for the new story. book one was great. book 2 lacks something. i think the problem is that the god like badguy thing has been done so many times before (im thinking Kid Marvelman and Jaspers from Captain Britain as well as others) and this story hasn't really shown us enough of the Offspring for us to see how cool and evil and he is. (yes, hes wiped out humanity, but we've all wanted to do that at some point, so it doesn't count)

sin dex have been good recently, but its been as though they have been trying to hold the entire comic together, and though they're good, they arnt that good.

perhaps the main problem is that last year was so rich in thrills, that this recent slip back to the averageness of the pre rebellion era is a little disapointing, especially as the storyies before this crop were damned good (especially the Dredds)

closer inspection of the site has shown me this was probably based on the pole yes? and as such Indie is still on the level with metal. curses!

I'd just like to add my my vote for Metal, tus pushing indie off the top. yay.

I've been to dance clubs. the music is difficult to head bang to. but that doesent stop me.

back when i was very young i had this weird dream. the thing that made it weird was that i had it several nights in a row, hence i can remember it. i also had the exact same dream years later. any analysys would be greatly appreciated. here it is.

first im in a featurless room. there was a party going on, but me arriving at it has made everyone there stop and stare at me, and everyone there is an ework (sort of. imagine if the ones in the film had looked like the ones in the cartoon). there is a moment of awquardness in which you could hear a pin drop. this is proved by the next scene, in which a great big pin rolls down some stairs. then some sharks chace me up the hill i lived near at the time.

so, any ideas?

the bit where Dimitri gives Arkady his crest, most powerfull crest of all, that cant be hurt by any of the others, yet no one else in the story knows and still thinks hes a weak annoying brat. there is so much promise to this premise.

>if they put out cheap looking shit they kill the new one befor it gets out of the starting blocks.

well, yes, thats the point, any true dr who fan (or reader of DWM) knows there is a conspiracy in the BBC to destroy the reputation of the show in every way possible.

but seriously, the production values really improved towards the end of the series, Survival, and Curse of Fenric being particular favorets as far as asthetics are concerned. oh, and the demon from battlefield was good too
