Good prog all round. Favourite part for me was the "Death Shadow Kick!" line. That had me in stitches.

Top proggage, and possibly best single issue this year so far. Everything pitched just right, with highs and lows and many different types of story and art- absolutely showing the comic off at its best. Took me ages to read it too, which was appreciated, as im getting sick of unfulfilling five minute flicks in the bath. Which is what i get with most other comics these days.

If i had to choose a top thrill this week it'd probably be Savage; a very real sense of excitement at next week's exploration of the radiation zone- which made me want it now. And that's pat at his best.

But it could easily have been any of the others- everything was fantastic this week.

Have you been reading the X-Men swim suit special from 1996?

Haven't got round to 3thrillers yet but Zombo and Savage were ace. And I do like eggs-POW!

Generic cover, but well done.

Dredd was a bit hmmm... A bit too much of Dredd expositing, and re-treading of old ground with his thoughts on Maybe and Fargo.  Some very nice touches of detail on the art, but despite liking individual panels a lot, Willsher's stuff still doesn't quite come together for me - it feels a bit unfinished and cluttered, and still doesn't suit the colouring job (or vice versa).  Still early days, but I'm afraid the Apathy Party set the tone for me for this episode at least.   

This 3iller is appreciably 6ier than the 4mer 1.  A nice framing device, let's see how this goes.

Sin/Dex is firmly back in the groove this week, with a new chunky look for Dexter.  My guess, and it's far from inspired, is that we are 6 months into the future of yet another dimension, and this is where the boys learn what the stakes really are, and what will happen if Tannenbaum wins.  Razor-sharp quippery, as always.

Zombo is just wonderfully insane.  Despite reservations about the strip as a whole, it just keeps pushing and pushing and pushing until I can't help but laugh out loud.  I hope we're not seeing the beginning of the end.

Savage.  Ugh, that's some awful dialogue from the two escapees.  "Yes, now that we are free we can explain to each other the importance of what we have seen".   Nice to see the tiger again, and great to see the effects of that famous nuke finally being explored.  The rest... no, really, I still can't get past the fact that the secret underground railroad is the train to Liverpool.  Rather than an elaborate surveillance operation couldn't the Volgs just have Googled (or Quartzed, I imagine) "getting to Ireland"?  I'm loving it really.

Overall a great improvement on last week's damp squib, but still room for improvement.

I will name him Tharg, and I will hug him and pet him and squeeze him.

Best issue ever!!! Well, not really, but it was very good, I really enjoyed this one.
And what about that Zombo - I haven't laughed out loud at something so much in ages. That whole 'eggs' sequence is one of the funniest comic moments I've read in years.

And after being slightly worried last week about the direction the current series of SinDex is going, this week allayed my fears and got me firmly back on board. Laughed a lot at this one too.

Cool stuff.

I don't know about the TADIS, but have a close look on page four of Dredd, where the Judges are searching Ms Torsen's luggage.  Is that a large novelty pen in her case or something else?
