1326.

Belting Prog. One of the best in a long time. Really enjoyed this.

Dredd/Aliens: Going well. Nearly half way through, expecting some major twist, fairly certain that I know how they'll get rid of the aliens, but maybe I'll be wrong.

Slaine: Last episode, possibly the best one in the series. Nice little moment with Ukko. Great to see Billy Boyd and the other hobbits playing the children. Nice ending as well.

Cabalistics Inc: Too much about this episode was great, so I'm sure I'll miss something. Interesting resolution to the cliffhanger last week, even better cliff-hanger this time. Liked Brand's reaction to the group name. Really looking forwards to the next serial, and hopefull that there will be many more. But why can't we ever have two stories one after another for anyone but Dredd and Sin/Dex?

Dante: As good as we've come to expect. Interestingly the repercussions od the events with the Tsar come back into focus. Laugh out loud funny in places, which is always good.

Cover: Nice, but where have I seen that image of Slaine before?

The V.C.'s and Bec and Kawl return next week you say? Top stuff.

Bah... That trick works better when you use the american version of color in the style declaration.

Three incidents of children being threatened this week. Ooh, there could be uproar... But it's a cracking prog. Dredd almost pales in comparison with the other stuff, no mean feat.

I've really enjoyed this first book of the Slaine epic, but everything's felt so rushed, and with an odd lack of real anger and emotion. I loved Niamh's pre-Raphaelite style burial, and the demons fiery assembly, but it's all over too quick! Have to wait till summer now. Nuts!

Dredd/Aliens - Coming along rather nicely.  Im stillwaiting for some twist some big bang from Diggle and Wagner.  In the meantime Ill enjoy FLints art.
Slaine - I liked this and maybe with the comments of Morloch the scene last issue was "more" justified, maybe.  Good ending.  
Caballistics Inc - Loveley.  Mr Rennie, please take a bow.  I really like this.  I also like the fact we are being made to wait for the next installment.  I like endings that ask more questions than they answer and in this there are a lot. Great
Dante - This story is too good.  We have his character summed up rather nicely this week.  A womaniser who care for innocents, brilliant.

VC's Next Week.  Thank you Tharg.
Bec & Kawl.  Keeping those fingers crossed.

Yer "happy" Slippo

Slaine was really good this week I thought, best strip of the week. I think if they'd all been double episodes the story would have seemed a lot better for it.  How many parts has it been?  It says six, but I think there may have been at least a couple of double episoders making it about 8 parts.  Nice to see a 13 panel page again Pat.

And he did not think it too many...

Did caballistics really have a story?  It seemed a bit weak to me.  Strange things happen, they are told it is a hellbomb, and then a glowy woman gets rid of it.  Scooby Doo had more involved cases.  All the interesting stuff seemed to be the background of the characters and I'll look forward to seeing more of that.

Dante seemed more interesting on the raft, it's back into the political world stuff which I'm not really sure about.  

Dredd.  Pity the poor wee ones.

Reckon I got out of bed on the wrong side.  It'll probably all seem better on a re-read.  Nice cover, all the arts nice and no filler.

A certain amount of anticipation and dread for next week.

Got my prog late this week which made it all the better as I opened that envelope.

First reaction was wow, what a fantastic cover!  Yur man langley has come on leaps and bounds, and the illustration in the strip was equally groovy.  I'm back to loving Slaine again after having my doubts last week.  One little quibble or query though - if Slaine died at the end of his 7 years as king, and his subsequent adventures through time were in the afterlife, then how did he come to return as a mortal to the time of his people?  And if he's not a mortal, how can he die again?  Did I miss something somewhere?

Rest of the prog was pretty flippin' excellent too.  Cabbalistics - Ravne was (is?) a narsty Nazi eh, well we knew he was a rum 'un (bathing in the blood of freshly slaughtered boys etc)
Dante excellent, Dredd sort of just eye candy for me as I can't be arsed with the whole crossover thang but hey - what nice eye candy!
 Dissappointed that the Flint droid won't be illustrating VCs, don't know who this Anthony Williams is (did he do VCs in prog 2003?  If so, he's pretty good).

Anyway, zarjaz prog all round, enjoyment enhanced by the delay!

Hav'nt got mine yet!!!!

Am I the only one without this prog???

[paulvonscott]

Nah, a few haven't got them.  Subs have been delayed by the Royal Mail's aversion to snow.  And usually you find people get them within a day or two for each other, so if some of us got them today, I imagine the rest will have 'em tomorrow.

[Mangamax]

Anyone else excited by Ezquerra's Joe Pinapples preview?

[chris_askham]

Was a great prog and everything paled in comparison to Slaine, which I've completely hated up to now. Now I remember what I loved about Pat's writing when I started reading, about the time of the Cythrons storyline. Great stuff.

But Beck & Kawl return next prog?!

Christ.
