Goodbye 2000ad review and forum folks.

One day I may come to the 2000ad forum

I stopped reading 2000ad at prog 2000! So its a hard one for me to answer but!

I read the lobster random book and really enjoyed it. More than I should hsve really

And I also enjoyed the bec and Kawl book too

So I guess those two

As for why this site is quiet I am not sure. i seem like the only poster some times . ...

cheers buddy

I was thinking of sending a writing submission to 2000ad. Whats the current address and who is the subs editor?

Thanks for the help in advance guys.

How he dead?

What happened to Orlock?

Has everyone forgotten Hershey!

I think it would be interesting to see Dredd as CJ, but I don't think it would make a very interesting strip.

There are a few things here that may make the story twist further:

The mutant issue is not resolved;
There is no clear Chief Judge;
Sinfield is still around;
The end of Origins and what Fargo said still needs to be addressed.

I wonder if the end of the Judge system will ever come . . .

I can't believe the Rammy didn't make it in!

I am! Even though I no longer read the prog I keep up with it on here!

Top 5 . . only 5!

1. Ragnarok Job/Rage (I cheated a bit here - see what I did)
2. The Rammy
3. The Killing
4. Big Bust of 49
5. The Schiklegruber Grab

Agreed!

I really did not like Oola Bint!

I like listing! :-)

Hmmmm
Judge Death (Naturally) and the 4 dark judges.
Fink Angel
Judge Child/Mutant
Jonny Kiss
Judge Dredd (the mutie one from the Kev O'neil story)

Having thought about it there are few standout villains in Dredd, they always seem defined by the story! This is a weird way of doing stories but I really like it

I hear they will be reprinting the miller robohunter on rolls of tissue paper so that I will be of more use to the reader

Definitely - always want to see behind the scenes.

Do writers now write dialogue in lower case? i thought it was all done in caps?!

They might not be able to afford any star! So all we have is Dredd's voice from off camera and the other characters' 3D recaction to his words!

You have to use an incendiary shot to light it

I hope they don't fish him out, revive him and genetically modify him and turn it into another Rogue Trooper relaunch!

Yes, I hear that sort of thing lots. But I'm not so sure I believe it. Firstly if his scripts were so dreadful then why would editors have put up with it for so long? I can't believe (as busy as editors are) that they could be bothered to get a writer's scripts rewritten each week - no matter how good they are.

I get the feeling all the mud slinging about GFD is just to cover up the fact that someone at the top didnt like him and forced him out. It is like Pat Mills said about Belardinelli in his great tribute piece - 'when the purists became the majority of 2000AD readers, his career on the comic sadly came to an end.'

A stone cold classic

Fiends of the Eastern Front by Gerry Finley-Day, David Bishop, Carlos Ezquerra, and Colin MacNeil, Paperback - 18 Oct 2010, £9.99

I have the original series in hardback - is the Bishop series any good?

That's funny I was in there this week and I thought the same thing! The art they are showing is from a cornish fairy artist now. Not as 2000ad centric but still good stuff.

I have never been able to understand what happened with Gerry Finley-Day. At the time I thought he must have died and they put anouther writer on Rogue.

Does anyone know what happened and why he stopped writing comics. He was a brilliant writer. Can't 2000ad tempt him back?

A great loss to 2000ad and a great guy.

Is it just my browser or is the forum now really confusing and difficult to negotiate?

Can we go back to the old view where you did not have to click on each reply?

That one is the fear that made Milwaukee famous.

The vampire effect is aso pretty stunnning. I am amaze how well and how individually McMahon moved into colour. His work looks even more amazing painted than it does in bw

its part colour part BW.

I do have to say I am a little bit disappointed with the colour printing in my copy of the Restricted files vol 1. The McMahon art looks a bit saturated and you cant see his lines as well as in earlier prints. I have the streets of Mega City 1 colour titan book from back in the early 80s with these stories in and The printing was a lot more crisp. The artwork is so amazing!

Other than that its really good book. I would recommend it.
