Return to Return to Armageddon – and other ill-advised sequels

[JohnW]

Apologies if this has been done before, but here's the deal.
Tharg materialises in front of you and demands a pitch for a sequel to a bygone thrill.
Off the top of my head I'd give him Harry Twenty: Twenty Years Later.



A rebel colony on Mars investigates an unexpected visitation from space and meets the survivors of the High Rock.
For twenty years these men have been marooned in a maximum security prison with no guards. Two decades adrift in space. Two decades of non-consensual liaisons and hooch made from jet-pack fuel.
Maybe not something for the Regened issue, I suppose.

What's your pitch? Think about that one-but-not-quite-done.

Babe Race 3000: Tokyo Drift?
Moon Runners: the Next Generation?
Those ones practically write themselves – especially seeing as no one is likely to read them.

Honestly, I'd read that Harry 20 one. And I wasn't that much of a fan of the original.

I will read the Harry 20 one as well but I loved the orginal

Uh, they already did a mini-stealth-sequel for Harry 20 - it was the last panel shock on a Future-Shock style story (can't remember what it was called through, but it appeared around five years ago?

Helltrekkers II would obviously be the Return of Crustacia!*



* after typing this I had to check the spelling.  I got it right, yippee!

[Barrington Boots]

Henry Moon: Henry's Moon in which Henry Moon attempts to take over a moon and create a utopia under his rule. Bonus points if it ends with his brain going back into a human and we get a shot of his arse.

More seriously I'd definitely read more Harry 20. And discounting what I said above, I'd definitely read a not-stupid Survivor sequel strip about Henry Moon. He's a talking panther on the run from some galactic crooks - he just wanders from planet to planet having adventures and helping people, like The Littlest Hobo meets The A team, in space, where your lead is a massive predatory feline.

Henry Moon Moons Henry's Moon ... solid gold, man!

Can anybody pin this down? It rings no bells with me, but now I wanna see it.

Meanwhile:
Kola Kommandos II: the Pepsi Challenge
The plot? Who cares? It's not as if you can remember the plot of the first one.

Dry Run: After the Flood
See above

Death Rock in the FCBD for 2015.

Death Rock in the FCBD for 2015.

Gotcha.
Thanks, Sheridan.
Never got my hands on that one.
So it looks like someone beat me to it, and it's Barrington Boots who gets to be the new script droid with his crime-solving, bottom-baring, talking-panther-on-the-moon thrill.
Oh well.
