First series was okay from what I remember and I don't have the second, so I'll probably get this to see what all the griping's about.
We never really die.

Oh, Kill Your Boyfriend was fantastic!

I loved the first series. Didn't remember the second. It's a bit tosh.

Sexy woman - check.

Printing error - check. Surely when Trace is explaining the year 3854 should come after Bertie has asked the question about what the year is like?

To be honest, I want EE's to be stuff from pre Prog 400 days, purely because that right there is the gap in my collection :> (plus, I enjoyed the Shako one so much...)

Time Flies feels to recent - oh, I know it actually ages ago, but I want to live in a world where the 90's are very recent and I am therefore not old...

I actually kind of liked Time Flies (even the second series), thinking it was a fun, if throwaway, good-natured romp, with some great art. I'm not sure I'll buy it again, but if I had a sub, I wouldn't be too narked.

As for the very-old-thrills argument, I guess sooner or later stuff's going to run dry, plus some of the old stuff is just utter tosh. I grabbed some of the EEs via the subscriber offer recently, but 85p still seemed far too much for the appalling Ant Wars. M.A.C.H. 1 was all right, though.

From the old days, I'd like to see Inferno (to tie up Harlem Heroes) and Return To Armageddon (due to seeing the first episode in a VERY old Quality Comics reprint, but never getting to read the rest of it). From mid-era 2000 AD, Medivac 318 would be neat, although perhaps not popular enough, and the old Tyranny Rex stuff needs collecting at some point.

I remember thinking this was okay at the time, but I haven't read the EE yet.  My brother did.  His rather brief review is "So that's why people stopped reading 2000ad, then?"

I can't say I recall it being THAT bad.

Dawn of the first day. 72 hours remain.

so far, rather fun, bros jokes an all LOL

Aaron Smurf Murphy

It's ok from what I've read tonight. The art's got so many similarities to early Hewlett (but the went to art college together which explains a fair bit) but he's more distinct these days.

It definately feels like a student or self published comic to me and probably would've done better in Deadline. Far from bad but also way off from strips like Dante, Dredd or Caballistics.

I shall be getting this if only for the art.
