I have a terrible confession to make - I don't like Xtinct - I don't understand it and I don't like the way it looks ? Seems I'm (a) a moron & (b)in a pretty small minority.

Dredd was great fun - more Koburn please.

Death - despite the lurch into more overt comedy, I'm still enjoying this.

Devlin - I think this is better judged later as a TPB. In hindsight not a good dea to run this monthly.

Armitage - art is limited, story uninspiring. Ho-hum.

H20 - yeh, this is classic thrills alright. Not read it before, so it really is an extra treat.

CWar - 'nuff said.

BBA - enjoyed this,as i knew little about the story of Battle in its later days.

Anyway, my scanning project goes on unabated. Scanned Dredd,Death, Devlin. Put Gold in the racks for later procesing & binned the rest after reading twice.
As for 2K, scanned Dredd, Caballistics & Durham Red (in the slender hope it will improve). Ditched the rest.

I'd actually be interested in seeing an in-depth profile of some of the key 2000AD and Megazine writers and their previous works and what they've got up to since leaving 2000ad.  

A lot of the careers of Wagner, Mills and Grant has been covered by TPO and BBA (though I'd like to see some more critical analysis of their work) but what about, for example,  the Moore boys who didn't quite follow the same path.

I say this in preference to the suggestions about other comics because I never really read the other comics so a rotating list of "in issue 69, BILLY'S BACKYARD BOMBER was replaced by a new strip PETE'S PLYWOOD PANZER drawn by the argentinian Blanka" where I know nothing about the strips wouldn't be of that much interest to me.

Actually, both those strip names seem ideal for the upcoming SOLAR WIND war themed issue. I feel a pitch to PVS coming on....

Mediocre issue this time I think. Armitage was so-so.

Harry 20:Why would the andriod wait so long to reveal its self...?

This was possibly due to the way stories were written "back in the day"... with GFD making it up as he went along, and with the story remaining popular he had to find a way to continue the story passed what *could* have been the end.

Just a possibility.

Devlin.getting a bit tired of it.will read again in one go. sure it will be mind blowing in that way.

ARMITAGE. back in spades . a top thrill. top art. excellent. the finest return of a character for ages.all is forgiven. great.

CW, no words. this is outstanding stuff.

DREDD.

The next ongoing feature series starts in 214, and it won't be a behind-the-scenes history ...

Oh, you tease!!!

Just promise that it has nothing to do with (reemploying) Roxilla!

Why wouldn't he? He's being remote controled by the sadistic warden, who's no doubt pre-cumming to every tantalising minute.

I think that'll be from Untermenschen (under-men), as in the opposite of Ubermenschen (over-men, or supermen)
