Maybe, but my opinion is Dredd vs Death is a succesful game

It certainly wasn't a commercial successful, and Metacritic rating of 52 out of 100 says it wasn't a critical success, either.

I don't see why Rebellion would cave, because it wouldn't benefit at all, and it would open the floodgates to other people arguing they own the rights to work-for-hire content. It's a can of worms.

This, 100%. Rebellion potentially have everything to lose in conceding here; if you concede on one significant rights buy-out deal, then the queue for others looking for similar concessions would immediately start forming. 

Grant Morrison has other more lucrative IPs from his creator-owned work elsewhere, plus his very high profile work-for-hire stuff, and so can afford to continue to block any Zenith re-release - he doesn't need those reprint royalties to pay the gas bill. (The thoughts of his Zenith co-creator about this state of affairs, however, may be a different matter...)

My feeling is that, if either party was really certain that they held the legal high ground on this, then they would have made moves to secure the rights a long time ago. Since they haven't, then they probably don't, and - with one party possibly not wanting to open this potentially very costly can of worms, and the other being able to afford to sit it out - then the stalemate's going to continue.

Never actually played it, but I did some very early concept work on this. None of it was used in the game, but - weirdly - the game concept I was working on for them would have made it pretty close to Split Second.  (But, y'know, better...)

May 1, according to IGN. (Although game release dates can, and do, slip all the time, so don't take that as gospel.)

We already have a film review thread.

Ah, but that one doesn't have the all-important word 'Judo' in the title, does it?

Bought a copy of this at the Glasgow comic mart the other week, and really enjoyed it.

Real professional quality-level stuff, which - frankly - isn't something you can say about most self-published/small press work.

Recommended.

He doesn't want advice. He wants attention.

I doubt half the guff he's spun here is even remotely true.

^^^^

What Jim said.

As I think Grant pointed out, the proof's in the progs.  Go and re-read the stuff from the Bishop-Diggle era, and then look at what was running at the fag-end of the Burt-Mackenzie years, and decide where the 'dark days' really were.

I live with my perents and that means all the money that you tax payers pay so the govement can give me benfinits that pay for all this so I gess I have everone on here to thank for my nice collachion

Yeah, I'm going along too, especially since I want to see what the Panopticon looks like inside.

Fascinating fact: Stan Laurel made his professional stage debut there in 1906, aged just 16.

No plans to bring back Missionary Man. I think the strip's pretty much had it's day, and the last series - which was some years ago now - was basically all about putting him out to pasture and drawing a line under the character.

I did consider bringing him back for a Cursed Earth Koburn story, but that's probably pretty unlikely now.

Well, we don't have to bother seeing the current film now, since you've just told us the secret of the ghost.

FFS...

As I said to someone in the Command Module last week, re. the script droid line-up at the Cardiff con panel (Michael Carroll, Rob Williams, me) - 2000AD: produced by Celts and Gaels for their Anglo overlords.

Glasgow League of Writers, for - surprise surprise - Glasgow-based comic writers, meeting regularly in the Hope Street Studios, home base of Frank Quitely et al.

its basically a fantasy/scifi romp that's akira meets lord of the rings but with slade surrealistic dream sequences and the themes are memory and the nature of self. That's the quickest description I can give. Not putting up the full thing for obvious reasons, just some pages in progress x

And Lord of the Rings meets Akira is going to fit into 5 pages, you think?

My advice: stop telling us how awesome your story is going to be, and get it finished and submitted.
