Is it me or is there too little comment on this thread given its the other half of 2000ad?

I repeat... given this is the official website how few people can be arsed commenting here? Come back Rufus!!!!

What i can't understand about Jon Davis Hunt is why when he has such a grasp on shapes, perspective, line and form he completely disregards any of his training/natural talent when it comes to faces? Its most frustrating and they are just shape, form, perspective and line on differing scales anyway. 

The Dredds are good and I hope Grant hasn't got so disheartened by a certain slide in acknowledgement of his contribution that he skates over his stories. He certainly doesn't with the Lost Cases. Fun Grit.

'What Ever Happened to the Taxerdimst?' anymore, do we?

short version: he died

as for what ever happened to max normal I had this insane idea of Max normal hosting a show on the vids called "MAX Fashion" where each week he would dress cits up like him. It would turn into a fad and he would end up just another cit of the meg and it would have driven him mad. He would have ended his days in a meg cube, the arresting officer? Dredd of course

Sadly my computer died with the story written on it before I could send it to bolt-1.

Rufus' hissy fit is the reason I no longer do reviews. If we're not allowed to be honest and blunt in our criticism for fear of offending over-senstive creators, then I don't see the point. At my work, there's no such thing as "negative feedback" it has to be "formative feedback", but I refuse to couch everything in mealy mouthed politician speak to find a nice or constructive way of saying i think something's crap.

If they can't take it, balls to 'em, I say.

I'm trying to catch up with the meg on clickwheel but as usual with me if its not one thing? Its another. Do the clickwheel megs have the free graphic novels?

Um Tank Girl had good art and typically bonkers story.

Sorry. My last two posts were just shit off the top of me head. I have it in front of me now. After a visit to the water closet. Yep. I'm a water-closet-comic-reader. Aheh.

This piece on TURF is good. John Ross and T.L. Edwards are a rare combo. And the letterer does it by hand. They look well crafted but John looks like he needs to work on the dialogue more. It'd be good if the meg gets its own interview with the wossi. Eh?

Also re@huff, I think the meg for me is a slow saturation of a read.

[Tiplodocus]

I think I enjoyed this,  It actually took me a couple of reads to appreciate the lead Dredd. At first I just dismissed it as throwaway but when I reread it in a better mood, it actually made me chuckle a couple of times; especially the quick thinking resolution from Dredd.  Too many Judges too easily killed though.

Wasn't keen on the Lost Cases, Tank Girl was fun enough and if there was another strip then, sorry, I've forgotten it.

Right liked the text articles; would still prefer a bit more depth to stuff like the Italian Studio Rip Off things rather than just, you know, a big long list of Italian Rip Offs.

I'm sad to see the back of lost cases, however didn't think this one was a very strong one, enjoyed the GN, happy to see tank girl go. There, that's all I have to say. Oh wait no, urm, I look forward to Tempests return as I enjoyed it, and now that they're again replacing stuff, I think there should be a bit more Dredd, they should at least replace the lost cases with something else Dredd. I'm not saying every single thing should be Dredd, but we should see more of him, or at least more stories based in the big meg like Tempest. After all, it is called the Judge Dredd Megazine.

I have no inside knowledge here, and maybe I'm being thick - but is the Lost Cases actually finished? I'd imagine if Alan wanted to write some more, Tharg wouldn't stop him...

well, it's finished officially , but I guess you're but I suppose it could carry on if he wanted it to.

[radiator]

It says in the editorial that this is the last one - so it's the last one for now.

[willthemightyW]

yeh, for now. does anyone have any idea why he decided to stop?

Ah! Didn't read the editorial.

Oh well. Shame, as I'd love to do another.

nope, but I imagine there was a: 'Lost cases?' 'ok' 'how many?' 'half a dozen.' 'ok' sort of conversation, between Mr Grant and Mr Smith.

Yeh, probably. It's a shame though.
