I concur - the innate silliness of Mars Attack reads like one of those old-fashioned funny Dredd stories, and Al Ewing is one of the few writers who ever managed to capture that type of daftness

Its COPRA time!

That looks interesting, whats that?

Remember when Suicide Squad was good? It's like that, but a bit more cosmic. And experimental.

Suicide Squad meets Kirbys New Gods meets Ditkos Shade the Changing Man in a Streets of Fire technicoloured colidoscope universe.

COPRA is absolutely INSANE!

It's also very Gil Kane and Paul Grist influenced, and I know you like Kane and Grist.

... wow sounds unmissable - I'm in!

And if you need any further persuasion me and Adventurer will be talking about COPRA in the next episode of Weekly Comics Monthly (somewhat delayed by my own incompetence)!

Well it would appear I don't. Now the patient wait for the top of the pile...

Oooh i've always wanted to try some MAD, presumably this is in the name of Jack Davis, god rest him!

I'm very tempted!

Dandontdare

I used to adore Mad and bought it every month , but that was back in the 80s. I'm not saying the mag changed ( it struck me as having timeless editorial conventions - I bought one recently and the tone was identical - even down to reprinting a "classic" strip I remembered first time around) but I think I changed in my tastes. The humour is VERY American-centric, and the movie "satires" are very predictable; but there are lots of good gags and funny recurrent strips.

It's the sort of publication that's great to read on an ongoing basis when the news stories and movies they're talking about are current, but I wouldn't buy a historical run.


The Adventurer

I was always more of a Cracked fan.
