Haven't done one of these for a while- and full of flu, so:
Cover: spectacularly zarjaz. No one draws shiny black leather like the Ezquerra(s).
Dredd: Still feels like we're in the early stages, and this is very much Wagner writing for the long-form trade collection. But even in ickle chunks, it's entertaining and engrossing. But this will come into its own when collected, I reckon.
Grey Area: I really like this- okay, it's not quite yet on a par with everything else, and the groundwork is still being laid, but in no sense is this outstaying its welcome. I guess we're coming to the end of this run though, which is a great shame. The art here is truly 50% of its success, and I hope that when it returns we don't see a change of droid.
Dante: What more can be said? Almost the perfect strip- after all this time I'm greatly invested in this, and fear for the prog post-Dante. We can but hope Tharg has something lined up.
Absalom: (Whispers) Probably my favourite thing in there at present. I much prefer Tiernan Trevallion's art to Dom Reardon's, and this has fulfilled all the potential I saw in Cabbies. May we have lots, lots more please.
Stront: Best episode since this story started. Blistering Ezquerra art and the warm comfort of characters we know so well, doing their thing- with some weird stuff going on to boot.
And letters. Tharg spoils us.
