Cover:  Excellent stuff, really stands out.

Dredd:  Yeah, have to agree the banter between the inmates is a bit.....unnecessary?  And then a saddled horse just kinda appears outta no-where.....erm.....ok.  Perhaps it will be explained next week.  Still enjoying it though.

Alienist: Interrelating.  So the alienist and partner are not what they appear to be, one of those in the house is not what he appears to be, and the house ain't what it appears to be.  Is anything what it appears to be??  :D

3Rillers: Nice art, hopefully a better run than those previously published.

Grey Area: Nice to see Harrison's art back, and the tale is a welcome return also.  Wonder if this run will see them back to earth eventually?

Helium: More of the same that went before.....so nothing new to say on this.

Looking forward to the Dreams of Deadworld tale.....hope it lives up to expectations. ;)

Cover:  Lovely.

Dredd:  Very familiar...but not in a bad way...just no real surprises thus far.

Interview 1:  Skipped as usual

Interview 2:  Skipped with more irritation than usual as I thought I'd already skipped the feckin' interview.

Demon Nic: Just not grabbing me.   Nowt overtly wrong with it....I just don't find any thrills there.

Grovers return:  Skipped with significantly more irritation than than the interviews.

Storm Warning:  Taking it's time getting where it's going.....hope it's worth the journey.

Lawless:  Highlight of the prog really.  It's kind of a pause break episode....but great reading none the less.

It's a subscription copy, looks like its's a one off, so will keep a hold of it... although I maybe tempted to colour it in, which would ruin the value!

Lol, lucky devil! ;)

Cover:  Nice to see Robinson back!  Would love to see him do a Dredd tale again.

Droid Life:  Meh.

Dredd: Heating up (boom, boom!) nicely, but again, that leap of logic just jarrs terribly.  In one sentance ''It's the Titan inmates'', and in the next...''They're not Human, What are they?''.....a tiny point of criticism in an overall wonderful tale both in art and writing.

Helium:  Dunno why it took me so long to realise...but it reminds me of Tin Tin.  I didn't like Tin Tin.

The Alienist: Really nice art, and as James says, almost a ringer for Robinson's style, which is no bad thing!  Great opener, and again, James nails the comparison with classic 70's Hammer.  Not expecting any great surprises in the events of this, just a classic stroll down a familiar, but very enjoyable, path. 

Outlier: Yeah, probably would benefit from a binge read to see if I can connect the dots again....just lost the reasons to care on this one unfortunately.  Quite a flat ending.  Lovely to look at though.

Jaeger: Looks like this may have simply been a building block for a greater story arc, and that is no bad thing.  Great run.

Was late arriving this week.....but worth waiting for as always.

Cover: Well, Mr Ronald does his usual sterling work, great form and lighting.

Dredd: Continuing to be good...but a minor point....not so much a quibble as a question...how the hell do the two wall Judges know that it's the Titan prisoners??  They look nothing like what was sent to titan...they haven't seen Nixon....so it seems a bit of a jarring assumption to me.

Helium: Nah, still not grabbing me in any way.

Outlier: Art continues to impress....but all investment I had in the characters has gone at this point, I just don't care what their fate is any longer.

Future Shock Great art that made a simple story interesting.

Jaegir: Cracking stuff.  Wee bit hackneyed running out of ammo just as the ships arrive in the nick of time, but it gets away with it.

Grand prog.

I've read all that. I've looked at the Prog Review thread in question... and slipped quickly away without getting involved but for the life of me I still don't know what the heck that title is meant to actually mean.

Ditto.

Working through in the east at this time....should likely be able to pop my head in the door. ;)
