Well I'm sure it'll all be worth the wait soon. "Dead Eyes - sorry, you've lost me again. 3 characters discuss what happened in the fisrt two episodes. I know, I read them." Dunno, I'm liking this slow pace and so far this story. All is cool. |

This is annoying - Ten-Seconders was one of my favourite strips of 2006 and I was desperate to see it back, but it's not quite working as well as before. I'm not sure what's going on with Malloy & Harris, and the Scientist appears to have changed motivation abruptly. The artist change has also altered the mood and look at the strip, but I presume they didn't have much of a choice here. Yeah, I'm struggling to see the Scientist's motive in sending not only Malloy and Harris but now Holland and his group to the same location. Right now, I'm thinking the first 10 Seconders was the better but we're only two weeks in with not much explained in detail yet so who knows? Smithy! Bloody hell, where've you been? This board's awfully quiet without you... That's cause I dunno when to stop talking. |

Got mine on Saturday. Quite like the cover of the whole Fargo family. Not bad at all. Dredd. Well again, still not sure about the bright and cheery art for a story that involves a kidnapping. Good story though. But of course the head in the dumpster's nothing but a dummy. Glad to see the Palace of Boing back though. Too cool. Savage- Well I've decided from the beginning of this part that Noddy now reminds me of Norman Bates. Dead Eyes- Would like to see some action next week although I'm stil pretty interested. Seems cool to me. Last two pages were particularly interesting. Art too is perfect for this story. 10 Seconders- Art alot better this week. Second page is sweeeet. And with the return of the Scientist (who looks alot more evil and has a nifty looking hat) a little more is explained, plus a little re-cap from Holland. This part I found more confusing though like what the hell's happening where Malloy and Harris are. Dante- Not really that interested in this story. But overrall quite the good prog. |

Awesome 2nd list. Can't believe we forgot Alice Cooper, Black Sabbath and Radiohead especially. Alice Cooper I would have voted on No More Mr. Nice Guy but I think mytwo mates would have voted on School's Out or I'm Eighteen. Black Sabbath...hmm...for me a tie between Paranoid (it changed rock history) and War Pigs. And as for Radiohead, I think I'll go with what you've got. Couple more I forgot: Bruce Springsteen - The River / Magic / Born In Philadelphia Fleetwood Mac - Go Your Own Way of course Kinks - Sunny Afternoon / You Really Got Me Whitesnake - I like Bad Boys anyway |

Well I dunno about other countries but I tell ya, teenagers can't live without music over here. Unfortunately most of these teenagers are all into modern rock and not enough good ol' classic. But me and two good mates (one who can play Free Bird on his guitar 30 Seconds To Mars - From yesterday AC/DC - It's A Long Way To The Top / Whole Lotta Rosie Billy Idol - Cradle of Love Blink 182 - All The Small Things Bob Marley - No Woman, No Cry / One Love Bon Jovi - It's My Life Chuck Berry (who in my opion the greatest guitarist evr) - Well they voted on Johnny B Goode but I chose Reelin' And Rockin' Coldplay - Fix You Deep Purple (my favourite classic rock band:D) - Woman From Tokyo / Strange Kind Of Woman Disturbed - Stricken Duran Duran - Ordinary World Eagles - Heatache Tonight Electric Six - I Buy the Drugs Elvis - Jailhouse Rock Evenescence - Cloud Nine / Going Under Guns 'n' Roses - Civil War / Live And let Die Johhny Cash - Ring of Fire / A Boy Named Sue John Lennon - Stand By Me Kiss - Strutter / God Gave Rock And Roll To You Led Zeppelin - Stairway To Heaven / Whole Lotta Love Limp Bizkit - Break Stuff / Take A Look Around Linkin Park (my fave modern rock band) - Numb / What I've Done Lynyrd Skynyrd - Free Bird / Sweet Home Alabama Marilyn Manson - Tainted Love / Rock Is Dead Meat Loaf - Paradise By The Dashboard Light Metallica - Enter Sandman / Fuel Michael Jackson - Billie Jean Motorhead - Ace of Spades / Eat The Rich Nickleback - Leader of Men / Hero Oasis - Little By Little Paramore - Crush Crush Crush Pink Floyd (this was a tough one) - Comfortably Numb / Wish You Were Here Queen - Save Me / We Will rock You Red Hot Chilli Peppers - under The Bridge R.E.M - Orange Crush / Man On The Moon Robert Palmer - Addicted To Love Rush - Xanadu / Findinh My Way Santana - Europa / Into The Night Soundgarden - Black Hole Sun Stevie Wonder - Superstitious / I Just Called To Say I Love You System Of A Down - Soldier Side Tenacious D - Wonder Boy The Beatles - Hey Jude The Rolling Stones - Paint It Black The White Stripes - Icky Thump The Who (probablly the hardest) - Won't Get Fooled Again / Eminence Front / Behind Blue Eyes Theory Of A Deadman - Santa Monica / No Surprise Thin Lizzy - The Boys Are Back In Town U2- Where The Streets Have No Name ZZ Top - Sharp Dressed Man / legs So that was a waste of a period in English. |

Too many. The ending to White Heat I could watch again and again. James Cagney just rocks. "Made it, ma! Top of the world!" BAM! BOOOOOOOM!!! The Psycho shower scene. Treasure of the Sierra Madre's "Batches? We don't got no batches. We don't need no batches. I don't have to show you any steenking batches!" Se7en's ending of wrath. Saving Private Ryan's D-Day beginning scene. Most impressive. Blade Runner near the end with the blonde guy's speech. Hundreds more but those'll do. |

Currently reading The Thin Red Line by James Jones. You've probablyy seen the movie but I tell ya now the book's a million times better. It's impressively detailed and interestingly enough relies on animal instincts in certain situations. However, as detailed and interesting as it is, it does have some issues. The main one is that it's very large book but has but eight chapters each with pretty poor paragraphing which can make it difficult to read. There's also like a million characters who can be hard to keep up with. However it remains a strong book and I think I'm going to use it as a personal study in English, probabllt investigating Jones' use of animal feelings and instincts for each character. |

Hey all, been a while. Okay for starters I agree with EVERYTHING Commando Force just said about Savage. It's crazy but fun so I'm going with it. Anyway, thought the cover was awesome. Seemed pretty cool looking to me. Dredd...hmm...well not sure yet. The light-heartiness of the art doesn't fit in well with a kidnapping in my opinion but I do like the art, it's pretty good. I liked Dead Eyes from the first part. Very interesting plot. Yeah, I'm intrigued. And The Ten Seconders is back. Finally Dante oughta be good methinks although I'm not really interested with this starter. Art, as usual, is very good. |

Oh yeah, saw that too. It is dark as hell at points. Nice opening though and ending. I liked it. Not as good as the first but still pretty nice. |

3 crackers: Apocalypse Now- Duh nuh nuh nuh nuh, nuh nuh nuh nuh, nuh nuh nuh nuh, nuh nuh nuhhhh! Very classy indeed. One hell of a great movie. The pursuit of Happiness- Pretty goddamn heartbreaking stuff. But excellent. Pirates 3- Not the best but still pretty nice. |

Finished The Regulators ages ago. Highly recommended for SK fans. Currently reading Desperation which is good but not as good as the Regulators. Also reading Jack and Jill, my second James Patterson story based on Alex Cross. Very good indeed. |

Finsihed Spear of Destiny. Preety good, not as good as The Culled though. Gets better as it goes along though. Already halfway through The Regualtor's in 3 days. In-bloody-credible! Really really enjoying this one! Just hope Desperation's as good... |

Finished The Culled in Ireland instead actually. You either like it or you hate it. I liked it. On chapter 11 of Spear of Destiny. Has some good chapters and some bad. Pretty good so far though. |

This week's review now up - thanks to Jordan and Marcus. And note to Smithy - the point of Viktor wasn't supposed to be how interesting he looks, it was supposed to be a moment that made you go - 'Oh my God!! Viktor's still alive?!?!' But I gather from the above posts you haven't been with Dante long enough to even know who Viktor was, so I forgive you. Yeah, well, if I'd known who he was I'd have had a different reaction. I just love cool monsters though. God, i watch too much horror... |

Good little cover, better than John Burns' last one anyway. Dredd drawing quickly to a conclusion but I've gotten bored of it by now. Savage I have been enjoying but it'd be nice if he took a bullet or two now and then, you know? Sinister Dexter has been my favourite for weeks. Loved the conclusion. Terror Talewasn't bad, not sure if the first page without some inking was intentional though. Great third page though. And Dante is looking good but who the hell is Viktor???? |
