I'm finding the current line up more exciting than the one appearing in 1600 (on paper, obviously I haven't read it yet). There is that interesting sounding Dredd strip Mutant Block coming up, though.

I think there's a USB on the back of the 360.

Having just paid £3.99(!) for a copy of SFX, it puts the price thing into perspective a bit. £4.99 seems like a bargain!

It was to get the playing cards, you understand.

Theres still some pretty important things TBC:

Whether the Megazine itself will still contain reprint.

Whether it will still contain text articles and movie reviews.

How many pages it will have.

Quote from: "The Adventurer"I just hope the GN format sticks to the current TP line's style.

Already confirmed that it will be same design and size (maybe even with the same matte finish), though obviously no spines due to the page count.

Quote from: "The Adventurer"Is Armitage: Flashback the first Armitage story?

I don't think so.

I can understand that its going to be frustrating for some, but each iteration of the Meg has alienated a certain section of the readership. For me, that was when they were printing stuff like Darkie's Mob, and more recently stuff like Bob the Galactic Bum. I'm sure there were people who lost interest when the Meg was reprinting Preacher etc.

Personally, I sometimes don't mind owning stuff twice. For instance - I bought the Origins graphic novel despite owning the original issues it ran in. Its a luxury not having to sit with a big pile of comics, and just read the story uninterrupted.

Also I don't have the space to keep many back issues, so it's nice to be able to build up a little library of gns instead.

Tea bot suits me fine - I love tea.

Was Son of Mean really that bad? I haven't read it since it was published in Classic 2000ad about 11/12 years ago. It's certainly better than Travels with My Shrink, isn't it?

Quote from: "nameuser"A more cynical person might believe Rebellion want to kill off the Meg. In the long run it might save them more money - one comic published rather than two.

I'm sure if they wanted to cancel the Meg, then they would do so. It seems to me thet're trying to make as good a magazine as they can with the resources available to them.

Can anyone confirm whether the movie reviews are staying?

Interesting. I can see some people being bothered by the price, but I think its fair enough. I'd probably still skip the odd issue if there's nothing of interest, but issue 275 (Ratfink, Tank Girl, Jock Collection) at least seems to represent pretty good value to me.

Armitage, Pussyfoot 5 and Snow/Tiger I can take or leave, but you can't please everyone all the time.

I hope the John Burns Dredd collection steers clear of stuff like Statue of Judgement/Sleaze/The Cal Files so they can give that storyline the proper GN treatment later on.

I hope (though very much doubt) they'll stick that Mean Machine one shot where he gets married (and Mean Junior is concieved) in the Son of Mean collection.

I'd also like to see:

Judge Dredd: Lawcon
Judge Dredd: Dead Ringer
Judge Dredd: The Three Amigos/Awakening of Angels would be an interesting, fairly obscure choice (though personally  I do actually own the Hamlyn edition)

Could someone remind me which Dredd strips Jock has illustrated. Off the top of my head, I can only think of: ...And the Shirley Temple of Doom, Crossing Ken Dodd, Ten Years(?), an episode of Dead Ringer and that scottish one from last year.

Oh yeah, Raptaur, I was going to suggest that as well. There was a sequel wasn't there - in a Poster Prog or something..?

Theres also the Jim Baikie-illustrated Dredd that ran in the first few issues of the Megazine (Midnite's Children..?)
