I live in North Derbyshire, and if someone was interested in collecting them, I'd be happy to accept any reasonable price. Contact me if you're interested.

Dredd - a perfectly decent episode, moves the story along well.
Survival Geeks - like most readers, I usually resist the 'comedy' stories, but I quite like this one! The artwork carries it a long way ...
Slaine - as with all modern Mills work, it's all a bit pointless, but Davis's art has genuine vigour and energy (even if I'm not always 100% sure what's going on in each frame).
Brink - haven't really got into this yet. Great art though.
Fall of Deadworld - it has a certain atmosphere, but I have no idea who anyone is which does hamper it somewhat. Maybe I'll re-read it all in a sitting when it finishes ...

Thank heavens for the return of Lawless as, over the last few months, I've genuinely found nothing in the Meg to remind me why I still read it - brilliantly drawn characters, both in terms of artwork and writing. And, after the muddy mess of The Gyre, Flint's work on Dredd brings a welcome return to clarity of storytelling.

Robbie here! Thanks for the support, guys. I also had a run of letters in the 90s when Tharg was freer with his free gifts (I had a good supply of hats, badges, mugs etc) - maybe this'll be the start of many more. Must shower now ...

Worst cover ever.

Flesh - really how much longer can Pat Mills recycle the same old ideas? Here we have again a group of 7 warriors/riders who'll appear for a few episodes. They'll all be given names, but as ever with Mills, he won't bother giving them anything so prosaic as a character. I know it worked with The ABC Warriors, but since then we've had the anti-ABC Warriors set against them on Mars, Volkhan's followers and Bill Savage's group who infiltrated the teleport control thing. Enough already!

Zaucer - it's like 1986 never went away. Visually amusing, but all a bit self-indulgent for my tastes.

Wolf - it's a nice-looking story, but desperately over written and a bit of a plodder. Enjoyably cavalier about killing off its central characters though.

Dante - Burns' artwork, though lovely in many ways, didn't really capture the excitement of the duel between Dante and Konstantin, and Konstantin's demise wasn't particularly well handled. Really looking forward (although with some sadness) to the final arc.

Dredd - The Day of Chaos has so far been a bit ... erm ... chaotic with the story going off in so many directions. Maybe finally it's going to get a bit of focus. Very exciting ending!

I'm afraid I'm one of those who's been exasperated by the first two episodes of this series. I'm all for a bit of substance to Doctor Who, but I can't be doing with layer after layer of unanswered questions being added to each episode. Not that that's going to cause me to cuss on an open message board, but there you go.

Is Amy pregnant? Who knows? Remind me, is Rory still an Auton? If so, can he actually father children?
River's life. Now I'm a great admirer of Kingston and the character, but boy I'm finding it hard to keep her timeline in my head!
The shooting of the Doctor - what was that all about. How come he looked the same age 200 years in his future?
The little girl regenerating? I guess we can assume she's a female time lord, or we're opening the door to Joanna Lumley becoming the Doctor (nooooo!). But who is she? Amy's daughter? River Song? Susan? The Rani? (why does everyone always bring up The Rani? She was rubbish first time round? Romana? Claire Bloom out of the last couple of Tennants?

Is the Doctor just stumbling around through all this, or does he have some sort of Sylvester McCoy-ish masterplan? The biggest fear of all Who fans is that ratings will drop and the BBC will bin it. If so, all this head-scratching arc stuff is going the right way to scaring off the casual viewer.

A great prog only dragged down by the hideous Savage. It's usually my practice to only skim my prog on its arrival, but (so caught up was I by the events in Dredd, Strontium Dog and The Red Seas) this week I read it from cover-to-cover straight away.
Both Dredd and Strontium Dog are taking the Prog into new areas of narrative at the moment that no-one could have foreseen. The Red Seas is consistently entertaining to read and look at. Damnation Station feels a bit thin, but is nonetheless fun, but Savage ...
Just when you think things might be picking up (last week's Prog with the teleportation and Hammersteins) Mills introduces a vigilante who murders child molesters. This is a nasty, cheap development and, whether Mills means it to be satirical, or whether or not we are supposed to sympathise with Littlejohn, it's quite frankly a step too far, and I think less of Tharg for not exercising more editorial control in this instance.

Whilst there's been nothing in this series to infuriate me as there was in the later RTD era, there's also been little to inspire either. Don't get me wrong, it's perfectly fine, but somehow unaffecting.
That said, I very much enjoyed both the Vampire episode and this Silurian one - really it's a reimagining of the Jon Pertween Silurian episode, but none the less impressive for all that.
I liked the fact that the Doctor is so caught up in trying to problem-solve that he completely fails in his duty of care towards the boy - it's that kind of abent-mindedness that defines what's great about this Doctor.

Does anyone know what Gordon Rennie's been up to? His work only seems to appear in 2000 AD and the Meg extremely intermittently these days, dropping in plot and character threads for his various strips which are seldom followed up? I for one have loved his work on Judge Dredd and think it's a great pity that he hasn't developed his take on Dredd's world further of late.

Here's a solution (at least as far as his work on Dredd goes) - give him the Meg to do with as he pleases. Let Wagner do his thing in 2000 AD and let Rennie do his in the Meg.

Otherwise, let's have Caballistics Inc back for a full run and likewise The 86ers, so we get a chance to follow all those various strands and maybe even tie some of them up.

I'm not really gripped by 2000 AD at the moment. I think at the heart of it is having Savage and Dead Eyes side by side. They're both okay (Savage is the only Mills story that I find remotely readable these days) but too alike in setting and tone.

Oh God, how long must Blood of Satanus go on? Presumably it's a 10-parter (Mills seems to produce everything in 10-part blocks.) I'm coming increasingly to the view that the only way stories can work in the Meg is to be in short doses - the PJ Maybe story and the Angel Gang being cases in point. There's simply too long to wait between each episode to keep the momentum going on longer runs, especially when, as with Satanus, there's no momentum to speak of. If 2000 AD are contractually obliged to print this rubbish, why not just bulk the whole thing up in an Extreme Edition and put the wretched creature out of its misery.

Has Doctor Who jumped the shark? I don't think so. Saturday's was a disappointing episode, to be sure, but let's not use it as evidence of the whole show's demise. Any series that can produce episodes as brilliant as Human Nature/The Family of Blood cannot be written off so easily.

There are unquestionably problems with RTD's writing - all of which seemed to surface on Saturday. I find myself particularly irritated by his putting his own pop cultural references into his characters' mouths (any character) which robs them of individuality. The speech about Countdown delivered by the Professor in this episode was a case in point.

Also the Peter Pan - 'I do believe in fairies' device to return the Doctor to normality was somewhat overwrought.

All that said, there's still much to love about Doctor Who. The classic series had good stories and rubbish stories, yet it's always held dear. 2000 AD has good stories and bad stories. Let's not write it off just yet ...

I still haven't read the last Meg - somehow the cover put me off. I dread to think what the rain's done to my 2000 AD and Meg too.

Yes, the Master had used up all his regenerations and descended into a rotting, skeletal state. However, he used the power of the Keeper of Traken to kickstart the whole process again, taking the form of Tremas (as played by Anthony Ainley). Not sure where Eric Roberts' version fits into the continuity, but then most of what happened in the TV movie can be happily ignored.
