[Revolver]

Can we get on with the important stuff and advise if there are any letters? Paisley gala day seemingly sufficent reason for the postman to not bother with deliveries it would seem.

It's an all-Colonial special. Goggans takes a pop at both Ezquerra & Holden. I didn't recognise the other two.

Could be an opportunity to explore the rich history of correspondence from the Commonwealth and beyond.

Stevie had the very first  letter printed in Revolver.

Beat that Paisley boy

As Your Mightiness hails from a planet where everyone quite rightly has green skin does that mean that you've pink boogers?

Now that Shakara ihascompleted & Henry Flint is at a loose end is there any chance of some more post-Nemesis Termight action?

Am I right?

Has Judge Anderson ever asked any of her perps if she's reading them correctly?

Charlatan 

Melting polar caps won't cause an increase in Earthquakes. More Earthquakes might cause polar caps to melt though, but that wouldn't be a human caused disaster it would be entirely natural.

Oh absolutely agreed on that point. Stevie was merely attempting to apply Comic Book Superscience* to the scenario. Even hypotheising uplifting of the Antarctic Plate due to melting polar caps wouldn't (ahem) was as the both ice would have merely changed state as opposed to  mass.

*aka the bane of many a skiffy comic. Bah.

Ummmmmm... fracking, anyone?

[Creator Owned Comics]

Creator Owned Comics is Clint done right

Oddly enough, these were Stevie's very own thoughts when this was solicited.

What is Stevie thinking right now Colin?

Once Stevie has finished licking the last crumbs from the packet he may turn his attentions to a Boys Own brace of

BOYS #67
BULLET COFFIN DISNTERRED #5 (OF 6)
STITCHED #5
Whilst awaiting in the freezer for later is the aforementioned Mssr Grant's LOXLEYS AND THE WAR OF 1812 HC

Pass the sauce missus!

You crazy kids with your heliographs 

Glad to know that no offense was taken.

Great to know that you're now tackling Dredd & that we'll be seeing more David* goodness.

[Tharg's Thr3llers]

For real?

quote author=Grant Goggans link=topic=35334.msg682801#msg682801 date=1339575896]
I wonder whether 1947 is an actual serial or a Past Imperfect or something.  If it's a serial, Tharg really did sneak one under the radar.
[/quote]

Stevie's money is on it  being part of a second season of Tharg's Thr3llers, what with Gunheads  being a three parter & all.

But more importantly,  sincere apologies to the Wyatt & Roach droids for pasting verbatim a FB post in his excitement instead of summarising the relevance of said post.

About 10 minutes after doing so Stevie realised that was a real Rich Johnson kind of thing to do.

That'd be Tony Lee & Simon Harrison for you there Cosh.

David Roach has just posted the following on Facebook:

Hi Arthur- thanks for friending me... if that's the correct term? I'm drawing your Dredd Story "Inversion" and I'm sure I'm going to have a great time- it's bloomin' hard though!

[2000 AD #1777]

2000 AD #1777 - Age of the Wolf II... feels flaws. Amazing art, great premises (Werewolf Apocalypse) but something just feels rushed about it. I don't know. I think I'll have more to say about it after it concludes.

Short shipped FFS...

Regardless  PROG 1778, MEG 322, JUDGE DREDD COMPLETE CASE FILES TP VOL 19 & MEGA CITY UNDERCOVER VOL 02 all arrived safely.

Also for Stevie this week:

ACTION COMICS #10   
ANIMAL MAN #10
DIAL H #2
FURY MAX #3
RED LANTERNS #10
STORMWATCH #10
SWAMP THING #10 (what with major crossover with Animal Man looming Stevie thought it best to dip his toe in the bayou again)

Speaking of which, grabbed this puppy that somehow was missed last week:

ANIMAL MAN ANNUAL #1

Clearly Stevie just isn't used to trawling through those itsy sardines that Our Allies are wont to printing their funny books on.


Was also mighty, mighty  tempted by EXTERMINATOR #1 but aren't in a position to adding another title to the ol' pull list at the moment.*


*Doubtlessly a new monthly by say John Smith, Al Ewing, Pat Mills or Alec Worley would make short shrift of that pledge. 

[THE NEW DEADWARDIANS #3 (OF 8) GARTH ENNIS JENNIFER BLOOD #13BATMAN DEATH BY DESIGN DELUXE ED HC]

Also heads up North American 2000 AD readers. I got a look at my shop's invoice; expect Progs 1779, 1780, 1781, Meg 323, and Mega-City Undercover 02 to make appearances this week.

Not at the Adelaide Comics Centre. We're still waiting on Progs 1776, 1777 & Meg 322.


So just

THE NEW DEADWARDIANS #3 (OF 8)
GARTH ENNIS JENNIFER BLOOD #13
BATMAN DEATH BY DESIGN DELUXE ED HC

for Stevie this week.

Just out of interest how many copies of the prog does your LCS order Adventurer?

Our's has 9 squaxx who buy the prog.

[Zombo]

So far this year Stevie has been reading either comics (most recently all of Zombo to date –is Stevie the only squaxx who prefers the second series to the first?-- & a SBT-inspired revisit to Alan Merkin's run on Damp Thong), weighty tones (11/22/63. Blue Remembered Earth, excellent as always Robert Charles Wilson's Darwinia)  or abandoning Campbellian Golden Age SF partway through (neither Heinlein nor Van Vogt were what Stevie is currently looking for: clearly  the middle initial  'C').

So Heads by Greg Bear really hit the spot.

This mere slip of hard SF, practically a novella, with it's mix of Lunar politics, cryogenics & speculative physics resulting in a far  more successful ghost story than Bear's contemporary horror novel Dead Lines.

Worn track pants.

Really underwhelmed by the prospect of colourised reprints* but Stevie would buy Langridge Dredd in a flash.

*As magnificently produced a package as that Dave Gibbons Collection is Stevie is sticking with his Panini albums.
