Ahhhh.... finally got my hands on this little beaut.
Lovely lovely badge, cover better than expected but largely obscured by the booklet, which is not really my thing, but sure I'll give it a go.
Stand-out story: Dredd. Rennie's best Dredd script, Gibson's best art in years, and while not intentional, how cool to have a 'business as usual' strip-in-progress in the 30th Anniversary Issue.
Marmite story: Flesh. Loved the story and the idea, actually liked the nostalg-art a lot, but I do miss the dense inks of the original. Part of the problem is the flying dinosaurs, creating a false impression of perspective/positioning from the outset. A worthy prequel, even if a bit Deadwood-meets-the-Cretaceous in execution. Saursuckin' fraggers! Hope it pressages some sort of a return to Flesh, a la ...
Savage: Mills on all cylinders! Adlard soaring ever higher.
Dante: Ah, just pure bliss.
Droid Life: Hits the spot.
Poster-wotsits: All nice new takes on old favourites. Well done all.
Text: Still to digest.
Tharg: Brilliantly done. For the first time the repro makes me wish the Casefiles were on better paper.
Coke Float: A lot sweeter and flatter than I remembered.
All in all, a very statisfying experience. Next!
