In a change from my normal efforts of prog opinion, I offer the following;

Low Life was superb. I hope there's more to come, but if not, it's been a perfect series for me that all built toward what just happened. This run was especially top - absolutely, utterly loved it. Totally hooked in. And that sudden explosion of colour was inspired.

Everything else in the prog is hunky dory, but that's all I'll say about it this week as Low Life was so good and Dirty Frank deserves our attention.

jings, everyone's loving everthing ..
Sorry but Sixdex has long ago passed its sell by, and Zero Angel is a filler from yesteryear, Dredd on the other hand is cracking as was Low Life, peaks and troughs.
I will name him Tharg, and I will hug him and pet him and squeeze him.

Dredd - Brilliant, can't wait for the General to try and exert his authority.

Low Life - Perfect finish, this has been a very good, and very funny series.

Sinister Dexter - Okay, so they have a thing to do, and there's good one liners as usual. Hope it carries on as it has started.

Angel Zero - Really getting quite bored with this now.

Indigo Prime - Unread, and will stay that way. Hate it.

Can't read anything into a teaser It could be a flashback

Good prog, with LowLife being totally brilliant. This whole story has been top, if it is the end of Dirty Frank then he's had one heck of a send off.

A very big spoiler for Strontium Dog was printed in the 2000 AD article in the latest Comic Heroes magazine.

A panel from the new series was printed showing Johnny, mutant eyes intact, recovering with a blanket round his shoulders, on a ship with the very much alive and well Middenface and Precious.

Saying he's willing to exchange his own life for Johnny's is quite different to actually having that enforced.
This fool got more comic books than a motherfucker!

Not sure if the Stone Wizards can understand Middenface? ;)

The idea that you would sacrifice youself is probably enough just to spare your own life and still get what you want.
Something fucknut Feral didn't see.

What an amazing prog. Indigo prime's colouring and art seems to get better every panel not just every issue. Dredd and Zero were also very fine but the outstanding story this week was Lowlife. Incredible. Dirty Frank's back and he knows who he is. Sin Dex never my fave also made a welcome and fun return.
Trust your government.

Comics Bulletin review:

www.comicsbulletin.com/main/reviews/2000-ad-prog-1761

It is good to see the prog getting reviewed again over there - I can't access their archive (as they've just overhauled their site) but they have made at least two previous efforts to review the prog before giving up when faced with having to do a review every week. I'll keep an eye on what them and see if they manage any more.

If anyone sees the prog reviewed elsewhere, then throw the link in.
if I went 'round saying I was an Emperor just because some moistened bint had lobbed a scimitar at me, they'd put me away!
