MEG 320 - AVIEW TO A KILL!

[Buttonman]

Not got past the contents and Dreddlines (Bah!) but an excellent read in prospect - features on Manga in Japan will apeel to sum and a nice looking Mick Austin interrogation.

Best part was getting namechecked on the cover! Of course it may be another Buttonman or a tribute to a long forgotten strip but I'm having it! Many thanks to Jon Davis-Hunt and for anyone else who had a hand, or alien claw, in facilitating this. The last 27 years have been worthwhile!

A weak Meg again this month with Strange & Darke the only thing I actively enjoyed. On the bright side, no sign of Watson or Proudfoot on the letters page. Hopefully this is a sign of things to come in the 2012.

I saw Rich & Izzy and Mr Worley namechecked on the cover, didn't spot you Buttonman. I'll take another look later with me good specs on.

Got my Meg but not my prog today. Grrr. Only had a glance - article on manga and American Reaper. grrrrrrreat.    I want my Dant, Absalom & Day of Chaos!

Screw you and the horse you rode in on. Oh what's that? Ahead of me once again! I can take the brickbats but what about poor ault Tom? Abuse like that could finish him off!

'BUTTONMAN' is on the rider's left as a decal on the red bike, black text above the white 'N' and to the north east of the green 'KF' label - it's really obvious!

Boot knife on the inside of this left boot..? That's a bit awkward..!

Just to point out that the jokes I really, really liked in my stuff were cut in the editing stage. Stay tuned for when I finally get around to updating my site, when you can precisely why they were.

I have two years worth of megs unread. I started but the run of one off meaningless Dredds during Origins, along with the strips (Tempest, Tank Girl) put me off.

Does it get better?

[Roger Godpleton]

Very rarely, a few times in a lifetime, you open a Megazine and when you close it again nothing can ever be the same. Walls have been pulled down, barriers broken, a dimension of feeling, of existence itself, has opened in you that was not there before. American Reaper is a strip of this magnitude. American Reaper may be the most gifted reaper I've ever met; gifted not just because of his imagination, his energy, his originality, but because he has access to the unutterable, because he can look inside a person and discover the unique essence of her humanity. To look at American Reaper is to have yourself taken apart, undone, touched at the place of your own essence; it is to be turned back, as if after a long absence, into a human being

[Proper Dave]

I'm only saying this cos I happen to be on. But, yes. Yes, it gets better.

Just be prepared to inculcate a state of mind where if you see the words American Reaper, or twelve pages that look like an old photo-story from Jacky lit by fluorescents, can blank over it and pretend the horror never happened, then things will be good.

Great cover, lucky auld Buttman getting a namecheck, there's that artwork's sale confirmed!

Dredd; fine story and artwork, liked Dredd time travel quip, and the badge stuff.

Grim Reaper: lalalalalalalalalala, I'm not looking

Armitage: great over all feel but surely this is the Judge Nimrod(?) thing with added alien tech guns?

texty stuff interesting, and worth a read

Dreddlines great to see some newbies, and that Groggy chap having a moan too.

Once Lilly, Insurrection or anything replaces the Jackie Reaper thing all shall be well

With the uniforms being slightly different wouldn't Younger Dredd have picked up on it and arrested Older Dredd as a JIMP? Perhaps Dredd isn't as observant as we are led to believe.

Like so many time travel stories, it did have holes in. But you just have to go with it, I reckon.

It was a great story, and made me want to seek out the original and compare them.

Great Dredd but it just bugged me slightly that younger Dredd didn't twig older Dredd's chin and voice. He is supposed to have a unique gravelly voice and a chin like rockcrete isn't he?

I refer the honourable gentleman to the answer I gave moments ago.

Maybe his bionic eyes were playing up that night.
