I split this off as I reckon it deserves its own thread.

Well here is the Nemesis, as good as it gets, which is pretty damn good:

Now can someone please tell me these have different stories in please?!

The new Rebellion edition collects those stories in the Titan volume and some others:

During his career, John Tomlinson has worked for just about everyone in British comics publishing as either a writer or editor (including Marvel UK, 2000 AD and Tundra). This conversation has been compiled from the unused parts of a 5000-word interview with John Tomlinson conducted by Matt Badham recently for the Judge Dredd Megazine, and is published here with John's kind permission. That chat appeared in issue #312 of the Megazine, which was published in June. The following issue, #313, comes bagged with a reprint of the first part of Mercy Heights, a space hospital drama scripted by John.

Anyone who has listened to the podcast...please PM me if the review for the Dogbreath story "Catch of the Day" was a bad one...I'm too nervous to listen. If it was good...I don't know, PM me as well...cheers!

I am listening to it now....

Do we know if this is the first in a series of (perhaps 4) Missionary Man trades?

Well to avoid people rolling their eyes about "everywhere" (but yes, you have to turn "don't have such an open mind that anything can fall in" into a positive, throw everything in there and see if two random nuggets start making mucky idealove and produce weird three-headed offspring). I usually say random misunderstandings and synchronicities. You then get to tell a story that you can eventually bend around to present the important moral: you can get your ideas from anywhere and everywhere.

I created a sub-genre of porn that the adult film industry then stole from me, all through the power of creative befuddlement. It is not only a good example to throw in (otherwise you could end up discussing how all the bits of a story came together, which is tricky without the work to hand and starts getting a little... lecturey) but it also means people tend to stop asking you silly questions soon after, because they might not like the answers you give.

Corking Joker there. Have you shown DC or Marvel your portfolio?

Pics for the weekly art blog: Black and White Ink on paper. No comp stuff.

Ooo I'm kinda hoping that Zarjaz have an Armoured Gideon story on the books looking for a suitable artist...

Oooo dear, now I'm nervous.

I'm still amused by the caption "model: Michael Molcher" - I bet he never thought he'd see the day that happened (although he'll now reveal he was a child model or some such, although possibly only for High and Mighty's range of [very] long trousers).

if it under £500 i will eat my own arse.

We'll need proof.

I'm hoping to make this - early train there and late train back, but things are all up in the air at the moment, so I won't know until closer to the time.

I think one of the best things about this is the likelihood of having a bunch of judges available for comic cons.

One is great, but it's so much more eyecatching if there are a few with the same style costume around.

Like the Fighting 501st:

I spoke to Bucky about Vampire Vixens (he reviews horror comics for Scream magazine) and he mentioned that Alwyn's art for this project was a bit tasty, he wasn't wrong. The colouring in particular is an improvement over the Dredd and he clearly doesn't need to work from his old fella's layouts.

they really do. Lets hope they are less than 3 kajillion pounds each.

Even if they are CF will be writing them a cheque for at least 6 kajillion pounds.

I believe that is what we refer to in the PR bizz as 'an announcement', yes.

It being in the announcement forum and all...
