Hey folks.  I'm just another returning reader.  Well, I say returning but until recently I haven't really read much 2000 AD since the mid 80's!

Getting older has made me yearn for simpler times so I'm regressing into childhood loves... I've a feeling I'm hitting a mid life crisis but, hey, at least buying comics is cheaper and less embarrassing than buying a Porsche convertible and toupe!

Wotcher Old One Eye  :P

Hm, there are quite a few here who *never* stopped reading the progs (I know, I know) so on that basis this prog-thing isn't a mid-life crisis ?  :) Unless the whole thing is viewed as a life-long crisis. Ah, drat.

Have fun!

Hey Old One Eye, welcome back!  Good news for you is that there is a healthy collection graphic novels to catch up on what you've missed.  There and read graphic novels for pretty much every major story  and I would like to recommend the Nikolai Dante  series of graphic novels as a modern classic. I'd also recommend Button Man - Get Harry Ex  as complete, self contained story.

There are good times ahead for you my man!

Alright geezer,

It's good round here usually, been a bit 'handbags at dawn' recently but i'm sure the normal feel-good banter will resume soon.
Consider yourself welcomed and inducted.

Thanks for the compliment (hag is complimentary, right? :P)

And thanks for the warm welcome. 

It's been really good catching up on some 2000AD goodness.  To be honest, I'm really impressed by the consistent quality I've found so far.  I vaguely remember flicking through some comics in the 90's and thinking the comic had plummeted but perhaps that was me just being a surly young adult!

It's gotta be... THE GOAD!!

No, that was you being right. It's been great for the last 15 years or so, though.

Welcome back!

Well, that's good to know.  I was tempted to pick up a few issues just to see but I think I'll spend my pocket money on some better reads first.

By the way, how does one add an avatar?
