AMEN PJ.

It's supposed to be strange isn't it? - it's not the Natural History Museum, it's horror! Kevin Crossley's a genius.

As always the BOS fan, the shot of Alexandra in S's mouth is sublime, and that image of what looks to me like George Bush (??) ripping himself apart and vomiting blood (or could it be oil...ooh) is going on my kitchen wall gallery for sure.

WHOA! What about that cover?!  One of the best I've ever seen.  Oh yeah, bring it on.

Haven't had a chance to read it properly yet, but flicking through it looks like one of the best Megs for a long time.

Starting to get Flint, LOVE the headless Judge, great stuff.

Even Anderson's got a bit more punch this episode, I was finding it sickly and wishy washy. With the exception of the first page I think it's stepped up a bit.

Satanus, love it as usual. Real horror (horror's always made me laugh, I am a bad person!), great demons, wicked action T-Rex(hope we'll see a lot more of him), last page awesome. It takes a some concentration to follow this story but I don't mind that, I take time to properly take in the imagery anyway.

I don't really read the reviews.

"Which brings me to this: you're not exactly positive, are you?
Just who are you, adwah? You seem to have signed up only to post on this topic."

Your behaviour on the board is already very different from the majority's. Calm down and stop the personal attacks, please."

Well,I was driven to sign up to post on this topic because, as Byron says, people rarely make as much effort to say they like something as they do to express their dissatisfaction.  OK, so I love the Hicklenton art (Pandora was my favourite and looking forward to the Nemesis reprints next month)- some of you hate it, but love it or hate it I'd had enough of hearing it being slated as unskilled. And it all sounded so pompous that by the time I posted I'd got a bit cheesed off. It's hardly line art with a colour wash like a lot of strips, which people seem to love.  And I've never seen anyone give a character so many expressions without having any eyes to work with....Flint's judges just look to me like the same heads pasted on each time.

Quite digging the Reapermen style.  Loved the first Anderson but for some reason hated it ever since - the sickly sweetness of the palette makes me feel a bit queasy and the vehicles/bikes look a bit like weird sausages/old scooters respectively.

I'm not attacking you personally, and I certainly haven't lost my temper. It's more about the way a lot of people seem to represent themselves here and I've just got a bit bored and frustrated with the general vibe. Criticism's a good thing, rudeness/spite another.  Take Keith from wherever's letter to Tharg this month, and how many times he said he "hates doing this, but...". He loved it. If they've got something to say, say it, but say it well, I say!!

I'm sending you all unconditional love.

well, there's criticism, which I think a lot of artists take on board and you can actually see the work develop as a result....... and then there's shit slinging - I don't think I'd bother with looking at it either if I was a writer, too much to wade through.

Obviously he's one of my favourite writers, but seems to me he just answers the questions straight - maybe the interviewers need a different angle.  False self deprecation is such an English trait, I hate it.

I actually find him quite modest - Ever read Requiem?  Glorious. Storming the European market. Look it up.  Don't think I've heard/seen Pat mention it though.

"Hi Pat.

Can I just say I'm a massive fan"

Ooo, hold on a minute, someone defended someone - must be the writer/artist themself.  Not this time mate, I don't think any of them would stoop to it to be honest....
