Meg 288 - Iron Justice

Nice link...

Seeing the naked version of the cover makes it clear what a shame it is to have so much of the detail of the city covered up by the text.

Good value this month, and I  haven't finished it yet.

Worth the price of admission:  The Ron Smith interview.  One of the most facsinating interviews I've ever read.  I'm not ashamed to say that I pulled into a service station on the way home from work to finish reading it in the peace and quiet it deserved.  Well done, that Molcher.  Can't wait for next month.

What I've read so far of the rest:

Cover:  Nice.
Dredd: A bit flat after last month's excellent setup.  Would have worked better in a single chunk.
Armitage: Going exactly where I hoped it would, nice job.
Tank Girl:  I feel I'm missing a joke this month, but the art is better than every.
Darren Dead:  Surprisingly still very funny, my favourite strip this month.
Film Reviews:  Rather too many column inches on Harry Potter, and I'm a fan.

The Hairsine GN:
Harmony a bit incoherent, but better than I remember.  Wouldn't mind some more of this.
The two Dredds were excellent, and  either new to me or completely forgotten.  Either way, great!

Next month's GN:  more Armitage, featuring the secret origin of Charlie Adlard.  Cool, but Armitage reprint 3 months out of 4?  Hmmm.

I have to say, I'm quite pleased with the Armitage reprints - I was always a fan, but am missing huge chunks of storylines, so I'm looking forward to catching up on endings that I've always wondered about, and full set-ups that I'm missing vital parts of.

Darren Dead page three. I laughed out loud when I read that page - the last panel being hilarious.

I think Rob Williams' off-the-wall style of comedy could translate to a tv comedy. And how cool was that castle block? A castle on the top of a MC-1 block. Wacky genius.

Darren Dead was my favourite strip this month; get the impression everyone involved is having great fun in making it and I enjoy the hell out of reading it!

Tank Girl was good but I can't help feel that maybe it would be better suited to 2000AD after all.

Really enjoyed the Ron Smith interview (especially that spy segment - what the hell!?), Dredd was ok, Ian Rankin interview was interesting . In fact I think it's best these text articles stay relating to comics, preferably current publications (even if its reprints of old stuff).  The film reviews are still too long and, thuogh well written, I don't see why the belong in the Meg. Particularly when its reviews of films that are gone from the cinema already. What's the Meg's reasons for picking the films it does?  Surely everyone knew Land of the Lost was going to be shit from the get go, reviews are practically unnecessary!

Harmony was  a nice find. Very good and in b&w, just like television should be young 'uns!
