Rather liked the end of Dredd and would be happy to see Edginton and Taylor team up for another Judge Lamia tale soon.

Had no idea what was going on at the end of the Twisted Tales - can anyone help?

As for Cradlegrave, hows this going to be tied up in one episode, even if it does have one extra page? Will there be more? I shall find out...

Haven't got the prog yet, but great cover. Zombie babies - never seen those before, got to be a first. Zombie kids yes (favourite scene being in the orignal Dawn of the Dead when they're refuelling the helicoptor) but not babies.

I agree, can't see how Cradlegrave is going to wrap up with one more episode, I would have loved to see it run for 20 weeks. Unless it's going to end like Dead Eyes with Winwood and Cord stepping in and resolving the madness (it wouldn't surprise me given that both series are set in modern day Britain) and thus linking both stories up and setting us up for a new series of Indigo Prime.

I'm guessing you didn't see the remake...

Oh yes, I did - one of the characters gives birth to one doesn't she. Forgot about that. But that one didn't crawl, eh masse with other like minded zombie babies, up the black cloak of a 17c zombie hunter did it?

The pregnant astronaut lady worked out that the alien squid creature was attacking them because they had taken something. The 'sample' container actually contained the squid's offspring. The lady opened the container and returned the squid to it's mother and she stopped her rampage. Then there was a little poignant mother to mother moment where the mother squid placed it's tentacle on the lady's stomach before departing.

I think I got that right.

Actually, if I interpret the panels correctly (and I might not have, they're all rather small to pack them on the page) the zombies actually threw the babies at Defoe. Which is even more disturbing to me, somehow....

The remake was beaten to it anyway by Peter Jackson's Braindead, whose zombie baby is a significant part of the plot.

There was also a zombie baby hiding in a suitcase in Zombo.

I clearly didn't think the statement through - forgot about the baby zombie in Braindead - hilarious fim. " I kick arse for the Lord".

Actually, this Prog contains three things I don't like, Dredd vs Aliens, Dredd vs The Supernatural & Sinister Dexter but I still enjoyed it.*

Cradlegrave showing up the rest, though.


* - except SinDex, obviously, I do have some standards.

I love Damned's blunt "Your friends had to die" bit to Defoe. In fact, all of Defoe!

(HOW are they going to wrap up Cradlegrave?!)
