Meg 307: East Meg Dead
« on: 29 January, 2011, 11:44:57 PM »
No thread yet?

The Meg is absolutely flying at the moment - Wagner back on a promising first episode of Dredd, and I'm really enjoying all the other strips. Only thing I'm not too thrilled about is Samantha Slade in the floppy, with a further dose (Casino Royal) confirmed for next month.

Making a new thread on the Meg rather than the Prog is like coming last in a race against a five year old & given Spam as a prize. No thanks!!!!

At least this one has a proper title heading.

Rich, take no notice of me. I'm just grumbling. My point being that making a Meg topic was like winning spam 'cos it's a consolation prize while making a Prog topic is more viable (since it's a weekly & not a monthly)!!!!

You mean you will if you get it read and reviewed before anyone else- not just bagging a thread and having nothing of any interest to say at all?

I made the thread on my mobile phone. You know hard it is to make a topic on your phone with full reviews only to discover that there are topics covering the same issue?

anyway ..
Good to see Mr Wagner back on Dredd and Hershey back in the Big Meg. I'm looking forward to how this progresses. Interesting choice to have the main plot continuation in the Megazine not toof. Numbercruncher is building up nicely and Insurrection isn't going at all in the direction I thought it would. Not sure if thats a good thing or not but I trust in dabnett.

Cover: Not a bad cover in my opinion!!!

Judge Dredd: Similar to The Pit but replace corrupt Judges with scared/brainwashed citizens

Samizdat Squad: Thbis has definately perked my interest. Neat "twist" at the begining.

Numbercruncher: Slowly but surely moving along

Insurrection II: I'm beginning to slowly enjoy this particular story due to BOTH the art & neat storytelling. Plus the small joke by the droid leader was a neat touch.

Floppy: I enjoyed the stories!!!

Cover: I love Steve's work but the colours here are sludgy and dull, like a prog from the 1990s

Judge Dredd: Great stuff fine art too

Samizdat Squad: building nicely

Numbercruncher: not really megazine material but I'm liking the change of pace and story

Insurrection II: crickey, next to no diologue and still its cracking well done all

Floppy: sigh, Sam Slade was, IMHO, a one trick pony and should have been put out to grass ages ago (that was just for you Butman  :D)
I will name him Tharg, and I will hug him and pet him and squeeze him.

I find I'm missing the Meg badly, four months into dropping it.  And I can't listen to the Whittle and Iz show.  Stupid life and its demands.

I really really am getting closer to getting the Meg. Really glad to hear Hershey is back I was hoping it was our ex Chief Judge. Man trade waiting Meg stuff is hard!

Is it just me who is reminded of Mick Austins art with Staz' take on Dredd?
