I am in harder economic times these days and don't think I can justify the cover price particularly with American Reaper taking up so much space. I really like the story line but it is a 5 pager innit?

It just me that loves the hell out of American Reaper?! $:-\$

Don't worry sheldipez, you're not alone. I also love the hell out of American Reaper!

I never got round to cancelling my Meg sub, and I'm quite glad actually. Very much enjoyed the latest Hondo City Justice outing (especially the artwork), and it's marvellous to have Insurrection back. But Sexy Ostriches can still p*ss off.

Nah I really like it too, though the art and the storytelling don't always entirely work I love the story, and I like the style.

Nice to see this waiting for me this evening.

What a stunning cover by Neil Roberts (From an original cover sketch by Colin MacNeil)

Only Read Insurrection at the moment and what a start. This looks like its going to be a corker.

17 page count for sexy ostriches. and no letters page for buttman.

Really lovely painting technique from Neil. Top work!

Stopped reading reaper going to read it all in one go at the end of the current run

Mabs · 21 March, 2013, 10:18:05 PM

My word, Insurrection looks soooo stunning. I was just lost for a moment in MacNeil's artwork. Wow. I wish we had a worshipping smiley 'cause i would worship the hell out of Colin MacNeil.

The odd thing for me is that I like Reaper-its just so conspicuously strung out.

Unfortunately for me the meg is a luxury buy at the moment. I can't help but compare the prog and meg and prioritise my spending accordingly. I have loved some stuff in the meg but its not consistent enough for me.

With value of the Meg, for me, I can't not compare its value to it's equivelant of 3 x US comics, when compared like that I think the Meg and it's bundled floppy is well worth the money, and that goes for quality too not just the fact I want to keep Rebellion's stuff on shop shelves. But I currently spend a daft amount of money on comics each month so extra fiver is the least of my worries. Just don't tell the wife, those Omnibus TPB that dropped through the post was a fiver! not a twenty! Right?

For this month's Meg, without any disprespect to any of the other creators, I have something quite simple to say that needs to come first:

INSURRECTION III

Utterly delicious, and after the return of Stickleback inna prog I'm seriously happy with the House of Tharg right now. I really, really love Insurrection and this opener was a great nudge off balance and felt like the intake of breath before it all kicks off. Does anyone draw gorillas as well as MacNeil? The answer is no.

Dredd was good, Hondo just never manages to fully engage me, American Reaper is great and I liked the prose yarn so far.

Did I mention Insurrection already? Good.

What a cover. Lovely Meg, Dredd was ace, Insurrection a bit of a strange starting point but fine looking as always, Hondo was just fabulous with the art a real plus and a twist at the end,evil sisters ,eh?

Tjm86 · 23 March, 2013, 11:07:53 AM

still no meg sub ....

Mabs · 23 March, 2013, 03:39:03 PM

Anyone started on their floppy yet? I'm really enjoying this months one (Downlode Tales v.2). Chris Weston and Calum Watt's artwork is so funting good!

The Monarch · 23 March, 2013, 03:57:12 PM

its really good...

not too keen on what they reprinting alongside the last bit of downlode tales next month...the story in question is where i believe the shark jumping began

Richmond Clements · 23 March, 2013, 04:10:09 PM

I want to read Insurrection III! Go digital already!
