"Judge Dredd journeys to Banana City in search of an old adversary in 'Monsterus Mashinashuns' "

I hope thats PJ Maybe!
Hmm, just pretend I wrote something witty eh?

The Amstor Computer

Oh, it's got to be - Banana City *and* a misspelt title? Pretty much has to be Maybe...

The Spurrier/Kennedy thing looks very interesting, though, as does the Dev Waugh strip - and perhaps we'll soon have enough material for a *third* DW book?

Queen Firey-Bou

european folklore & wild west ? american gothic sounds right up my street.
looking forward to Boo's dredd too.

Endjinn

Wagner and Ezquerra AND PJ Maybe? Get in!

Although I must say I'm also getting itchy fingers at the prospect of Boo Cook on Dredd.

Richmond Clements

And I'm counting up those Fantasy Football points...

Smiley

Have to say the only thing out of that lot not currently running that I don't wanna miss is Monsterus Mashinashuns, and maybe American Gothic.

ukdane

Kicking myself for removing Dante from my FF team (I had him in it, before the start date :-( )

I noticed in Previews for April that there was NO Meg solicited. Is it not out in April- or is to do with the 4 weeks date thingy?

Or maybe it was an April Fools ;-)
Cheers

The Amstor Computer

All the Megs are in my Previews (downloaded editions), but one month has two issues & one has none. Not sure on the months, but all of the Megs are solicited.

Dan Kelly

Some nice stuff there, and some good points.

After Mike Collins pimping American Gothic for so long (did he have it at Dreddcon 2003?), I am really looking forward to that...

ukdane

I can download previews??? Direct to my hardrive as and when it is available? INSTEAD OF HAVING TO PAY SHIT LOADS TO A) BUY IT, AND B) GET IT SENT OVER HERE!!!!! NOW THAT WOULD REDUCE POSTAGE AND SAVE ME ABOUT ?3 FOR OTHER COMICS.

I've been doing that for 7 years now (quick maths previews = circa ?3 postage = circa ?2 (so ?5 a month for 84 months! THAT'S ?420 I could have saved!!!!

Can I have a link please?
Cheers

.and as well as Grant's link to SBC, you could try Comic Book Resources. They normally have Previews up & online in plain text format within a week or two of release, though they have been getting sloppier recently...
