Why not add a link on your profile? Then I can access the blog whenever you join a thread being read by myself.

Hyperdiamond idea.

How about reprints in the floppy to supplement Green Bonce?

It seemed like this was going to be just another regular comics blog...  but it was actually bloody fascinating!

Reddit.com has a neat subreddit (as they call them) for comicbooks, which I usually check for US comics tit-bits, though it's usually pretty superhero and US centric. I've been trying to do a little about that, hence the post - plus it;s a fantastic blog that deserves to be shared.  :)

Thanks again all for your encouragement (and to Tharg's droids for not firing off a cease-and-desist notice).

Dr X - I don't think i've stuck on a subscribe option (at least not consciously) as I've managed to keep up a daily posting rate and reckoned people would get annoyed at daily reminders. If people would like it then there appears to be a subscription widget I can stick on.


Can't speak for anyone else, but I want a reminder.

Many thanks to everyone who helped get this into the FP blog and all the other avenues. Hope you all continue to enjoy.

Small reminder that FutureShockd has reached its 50th entry (Prog 97) and there is the a bunch of stats and musings over on the summary 26-50 post http://wp.me/p1KBan-ab including one of the best bit of Belardinelli art thats never been reprinted.

More interviews in the pipeline too and the reviews are racing towards the arrival of Moore and Milligan in the next week or so.

Did I say 'racing'? Ahem... well we are now! FutureShockd is back with a steady stream of reviews and two interviews in the bag...  Hope it fills some of your lunch-hours with a bit of pleasure!

Another 'Special Edition' today as FutureShockd brings you 'The Complete Alec Trench'.

Many thanks to those in the forum (especially WR Logan) for their previous work on Trench, hopefully this is now the definite re-telling of the 2000AD legend's story.

A end of year 'special edition' with a double post (I think I broke Wordpress) covering The Prog & Meg in 2011, the top 10 Dredd moments of 2011, lots of lovely art and a review of the uber-fun subscription only Thargs Future Shocks b-format book.

Feel free to disagree, bitch, moan and laugh at my choices, ignorance and mistakes!

Part one http://t.co/uuE6bl89
Part two http://t.co/vWXcVusV

Hell, you'll get to find out just how many new pages of art there were and how much it cost you per strip-page.

Please say you're going to add more updates at some point, BPP! I worry that you've had enough of your mighty endeavour, which'd be a criminal shame - this blog is too good not to have more of...
