Forgot to mention - fantastic work that man!

Why are webcomics still portrait format rather than a more comfortable screen-shape?

I suppose it's the double-wonga if a strip takes off and transfers to paper, but i'd like to see more web creators drawing in a more PC-friendly format - no reason why they couldn't then be published in landscape - it could be the future of all publishing the more screen-based we become!

keep them all - if space becomes an issue, then beds/wardrobes/girlfriends can always be removed - problem solved!

fried or boiled?

I guessed there may have been a mass data-transfer, and I'm not suggesting these guys all get deleted, but a function that allowed us to to view only active (ie in last year, or even at all!) posters, would be really helpful. Sorting the list by rank is one way, but I still seem to have to click on page after page to find anyone's particular details.

It's only a minor niggle though - congrats are in order for the general revamp of the forum, it's excellent! Can't wait to see what the rest will be like!

aw ... nothing to do with the early life of Ben Grimm then?

Anyone fancy taking a few photos of Green Army men in situ? Nothing fancy like D'Israeli's Cybermen, justa bit fun for us kiddies?

Don't have any green army men, but just popped into the garden to do this...

I find the members listing very unwieldy - who are all these thousands of users with no posts who simultaneously joined on Mon Jun 23, 2008 at 9:32 am?

i found the old system where you could easilly see active users who've posted in the last year was much easier to use. There are just too many pages of the new list and not enough useful ways to manipulate and filter the data.

This has been mentioned elsewhere - check this thread for some great pics of the tooth-inspired set-dressing:

I love Boo Cook's art but I do prefer a grittier style with Anderson myself. Maybe because the stories tend to be very fantastical, the more wild art tends to make things a bit over the top, whereas a grittier and more realistic style grounds it and gives the story more weight.

YES! I've been wondering why this doesn't quite work, and I think you've hit the nail on the head.

that's for bog-reading later

TOO MUCH INFORMATION KEEF!

All I can say is splendid, keep it up!

As for the rest of the prog, no complaints, but no WOW moments either. Eveything is simmering along fine.

Liked the cover - rather busy in it's composition but I've always loved Cliff Robinson's attention to detail.

Helloooooo!

I don't know DD, but her majesty the Bou gave me some good advice when I first found this place (the first rule of the forum - don't talk about Sc****)!

Since then I've loved this board, so nice to have you both back!

If they're gonna publish a story about priests

Monarch? that's your cue....

Oh, yes, and the spine for the collection: I can see people point on this, but to me the comic seems to thin for that. No doubt it's doable, but I wonder if it would be superfluous and would just push the price up more.

I don't think the point is that the freebies should be somehow spined (is that a verb?), but that it's a bit of a cheek to describe an excellent comic as a "free graphic novel"

no matter what the cost, i will never stop reading.

Hear hear! That's the attitude that kept me a squaxx throught he nineties!

Don't think I'll see Babylon AD, but as we're just rambling about movie-going....

WHAT'S WITH PREVIEWS???

I missed out on the Hulk movie - I usually avoid opening weeks, but on this occasion I was out of the country . When I got back, I was planning to see it on a Thursday, before all the listings changed - but every Manchester multiplex were showing Dark Knight Previews, usually on multiple screens, so I never got to see it on the big screen! WAAAGH! Surely it's just a blatant ploy to triple those "first weekend" figures - shouldn't be allowed!

I've been licensed to drive for 24 years, and it's like learning to swim - you may not need to use it, but it's a damn useful skill to have! In all that time, I have only recently become an owner - and only of  2/7 of a  Nissan Micra - my friend uses it for work (she's a community nurse) during the week and I get it at the weekend, as it's easier for me to commute to the office by public transport. I now know the luxury of the "big shop"! Better than having to limit supermarket shopping to what I can carry home. The plan when I bought into the carshare was to be camping almost every weekend, but apparently God has a sense of humour!
