I don't see how that follows given that, like the doppelgangers in Sin/Dex, these are from alternative worlds and, therefore, aren't the same characters.

Of course, that doesn't mean they can't still be pish!

True, but if you are going to the bother of bringing back some of Dredd's greatest nemeses, then they should of acted like or at least similar to the originals. If they didn't then there really was no point and a few star scans would of been just as good.

My problem with Helter Skelter was, this was some peoples first introduction to these characters and each of them was done a disservice. There was a nice flow to the story and it was lots of fun spotting the cameos, but not one of the villains acted in character. I'm a fan of Granth's work, more so his non 2000ad work, though I found Monkey on My Back very enjoyable and I do think Helter Skelter had the potential of being something good if it was scaled back and there was some other motivation then just simply revenge.

There's so much to do and there are so few of us, we had better get to work then. Well done, to all involved in its creation.

Saw it earlier last week and taught it was just as moving as the novel, I may have had to hold back a tear at one point. It was quite depressing, but since it's the end of the world why wouldn't it be, but the father and son relationship keeps it somewhat uplifting. The effects and scenery were also very effective and contributed greatly to the story, these effects from what I heat largely done without the use of CGI, .

Just seen the news on facebook and this is amazing. Colin's art work looks stunning and the guests are very impressive. My first con. is going to be a good one, i think.

Had a great, if very short, time last night. The room is really starting to get a large group of people in each night now and would be a perfect time for anyone to join in. So, even if you are just being a bit nosy, come in and join us next week.

Gavin, your name sounds very familiar. Apologies if I've asked you this before but did you use to work for The Slate magazine or something?

Definitely, not me Mr. Christ. Not sure where, if anywhere, you would of me. You might be mixing up your Gavin's.

Spidey is a Sony movie, Avengers is Fox/Marvel.

That clears that one up for me, thanks.

Thats fantastic JBC, even if they are doing the Siege of Ennis.

Mr Eight, you got something very cool going on there, it's a very nice style you have.

Disappointed to hear this, as i hoped Raimi would have a chance to redeem himself after Spidey 3. I'm also wondering if they will use this reboot to tie Spidey into The Avengers move in some way.

A very interesting idea that, if done right and not over done, could be very successful. The only suggestion that I would put in is, along with established characters we would need several new central characters in it. This is a problem I find with the new Strontium Dog because as Radiator said we know what will happen to each of these, so there really is no threat involved.
