Dredd: OK. Not knowing the original Major Eazy I can't say that this did that much for me. The problem being, of course, that the character's so strong it didn't seme right that he only got as much time as the frankly underwritten Jonny Woo did previously, but as it's a pastiche you know he's unlikely to be coming back.
Death: SUPERB. Exactly how to handle the resurrection of an idea from ages back, with a quick reference but also explaining it for the newcomers. And the sight of Death in the ring was a nice subversion of the character without going for the "Death in Bexhill on Sea" approach. Finally, it's good to see some forward momentum building in this strip.
Devlin: Speaking of forward momentum... Still going. They seem to have arrived at some sort of destination where the last stand will happen, thank Grud. Next episode *might* be interesting.
Harry 20: Ok
Charley's War: still not finding any interest or excitement in all this - not having seen anything first time round the nostalgia factor's non-existent. Maybe it gets better. I dunno.
XTNCT - Kind of suffers from the Meg's monthly circulation: I would have preferred reading it in 2000ad weekly. Still, damn fine strip, keeps me interested.
Armitage: Looks alright BUT I'm a bit worried that Becky Steel's in trouble in the first strip. How many issues of Armitage searching for his partner can we take?
Apocalypse Soon: You either like this or you don't. I do.
"Battle" story: OK, fine, there was this comic, right, 15 years ago, devoted to things killing things, and there were some good writers and artists working for it, but the market changed and it folded. I used to read these war comics, my tastes changed, and THAT'S why I read 2000ad and the Meg. Just not very interesting.
