Personally I find the balance of elder Han's mirth and pathos worked well in his reluctant mentor/torch-carrying role and the idea of Han & Leia being great rebels but shitty parents rings true. For me these aren't TFA's glaring issues but more that Rey's search for Luke - the outlines of his myth - and Han's search for Kylo - their relationship - both get distracted by Death Stars before getting to that sacrificial end.

...you can discover new things everyday, and not every comment after a YouTube video is vile.
I was watching the grenade scene from Captain America, and someone mentioned Desmond Doss who I looked up in Wikipedia. You go read his Medal of Honor citation down the Wiki page. He was basically Dredd with a med-kit:

The recent movie completely passed me by.

Pin is a great character. - maybe she's just pissed off that her badge is silver?
Apart from some turgid exposition in Defoe, this was another fantastic prog

Wow!
A phenomenally good Dredd one-off by Michael Carroll, and in my view he's now made it as one of the top Dredd writers. This feels like an '80s (in a good way) Wagner & Grant tale. It's got a solid sf idea underpinning it, it's funny, it has a decent plot, and it introduces a fun character who I really hope we'll see again.

sorry Double post, but is that Mr X I see in the margin of STraces' London?
Could be, though I was more impressed by the appearance of the original Command Module on the next page...

We still have a mayor.
NEVER FORGET!
The Mayor was given the triple-death after his seven years were up, or possibly a bit sooner because he violated his geasa on numerous occasions (although not the one about not bathing in Lough Foyle on a May Day). This doesn't prevent him returning via the cauldron of rebirth should he prevail over the torments of Ifurin, but the office is currently vacant. Although nowadays candidates should expect to be judged on their performance by Trump of the Orange Woad, as well as Cathbad and his druids.

Hi Proudhuff, I can't make out the cap badge, but in 69 either in Derry or Belfast it would probably be infantry.
Tank and artillery regiments didn't start re-training until 1970.

Wow! That's an old photo, even before my time, looking at the kit I would say '69 or '70.
