Mark Millar's CLINT

[gdwessel]

I have a subscription, got it in time for the relaunch -- there was allegedly a new issue solicited by Diamond last week but I've yet to see it, either in store or in my mailbox.

I like the magazine, always have, but with issues getting stretched further apart, and DEATH SENTENCE coming in its own comic from Titan, don't think I'll be renewing it. Shame, it's fantastic value for the money, when it comes out. Plus, I know some people from the Millarworld board who got burned over the "Space Oddities" thing...

I too am a big fan of Clint but the gap between issues is a disgrace, especially when it's 90% reprint material!, and if Kick Ass is their Dredd what will they do when vol 3 finishes?...although at this rate that will be some years off yet!!.

[O Lucky Stevie!]

Wonder if he'll include 'Jupiters Legacy' in the upcoming Vol 3 relaunch.
Would make it an attractive purchase even just for Quitely's stunning art.

Fingers crossed. This, Gibbons on Wanted for the Adsa Generation meets Watchmen via James Bond Secret Service & MontyNero/Mike's Dowling's genuinely excellent Death Sentence printed at proper comic size are the only reasons that Stevie's been staying with this.

Ya i was thinking that. It's ridiculous though it could have so much potential. If they upped their submissions team and made it an anthology title with full length comics from brand new creators instead of relying on millars commercial properties. Id say itd still sell if it had good comic/movie articles in it, I'd pick it up for one. i got volume 1 of it but stuff like getting 6 (6!) pages of kick-ass in an issue is just pointless. save money by waiting for the trades and millars work works better all in one anyway

I'm subscribed to it, and still enjoying it. But I'm missing Rex Royd.

That said, the one-off this month was pretty good. Hope we see more of those!

Makes you appreciate 2000AD and the Meg even more, all original (at the moment at least) and I don't think they've ever been late!.

Did it turn up yet, dude? Hopefully just a postal delay, but if not let me know and I'll have a word.

Showed up yesterday, as it happens. Thanks!

At last! Frustrating, I'm sure.

Personally, I really enjoyed the end of The Secret Service. Just having Dave Gibbons in a newsstand comic I can buy in WHSmiths makes me very happy.

Let me know what you think of the latest Death Sentence episode!
