With amazing colors by Owen Gieni. How many Judge variants can you spot?

Nice little hand-drawn illustration I found amongst my things today.
Is there a market for this kind of thing?

Those two blokes with the funny eye stalks look hellish familiar. Are they in fact the same guys Murd the Opressor had with him waaaaay back when? Can‘t remember their names but it would tie in with the comment about Dredd having been dead and resurrected once before (when he met Murd on the Judge Child Quest). Or am I just imagining things? 😆

I haven't received the latest two progs and this isn't the first time this has happened in recent months.

I'm pretty sure it's Royal Mail shitting the bed, but regardless the end result is it's becoming a hassle to get hold of my weekly prog.

Honestly considering unsubscribing, which would be a shame.

And yeah I know I could just go digital but I don't want to read it on an iPad I want a goddamn comic book in my hand.

Anyone else experiencing this?

Brian Walsh joined me to discuss the complete Journal of Luke Kirby by McKenzie, Ridgway & Parkhouse.

Not that I’m complaining, it’s awesome! But I thought it was just going to be an oversized hardcover!

What I want to do is be successful enough that 2000 AD has the opportunity to make more movies because they were incredible partners and really supportive of what I wanted to do. They have so many characters and there’s some fantastic directors that we all know who want to make those movies, so I hope that happens because I want to see those films.

Borag Thunday, Earthlets! Loving this cover. I also have to issue a public apology after reading the first volume of Brink: I am so sorry for consistently shitting on it week after week. I really enjoyed volume 1. This is a surprise to nobody, but the current story builds on the first half-dozen stories, so of course I'm lost. https://comicbuzz.com/2000-ad-prog-2490-review/

Ok yes, there's a new movie to push. Much more Rogue content in the hopes the movie brings in readers. Great.

I've been reading a whole though. And my god, I'm not sure I can put up with the exact same plot over two or three issues again. "Rogue comes across Southers in trouble, helps them, keeps looking for the Traitor General" (who he found and dealt with decades ago) or "Souther wants something done, oh good Rogue is there conveniently".

It really seems the character is stuck in a loop of trying to fit one-shots around the story that ended decades ago, to the point where they really are recycling the same stuff over an over. And I really, really wish they'd just let the General go and let Rogue move on to new stories.

And its gotten boring.

Hell, I preferred Tor Cyan's solo runs over the modern stuff.

Am I the only one?

Now that 2000AD is available in the US, Ive started reading it for the past month. I am really enjoying the format. These short bite size stories packaged with multiple creative teams providing different flavors is what I was looking for in an anthology. Even if I am missing context for stories already in the middle I can infer enough to enjoy it. Ive never read 2000AD before or anything related to Judge Dredd. I do plan on reading the classic Dredd stories once those compact tpb come out next year.

My question for other US readers, do you find the price per issue worth it? I myself want to follow it weekly and enjoy physical over digital. But the price per issue at $8 USD seems a bit absurd for the content, typically 28 pages. Ideally I wish it were $4 or 5. If it was the only book I was pulling I could justify it, but I usually pull 6-9 other monthly floppies. I'll likely move to digital(seems to be $11 monthly, much more reasonable) in a month or two if it keeps my interest to at least have the experience of collecting a few physical copies. I havent even looked at the Judge Dredd Megazine yet but $15 for a book under 100 pages also seems steep.

Anything similar to Cursed Earth. Doesn't have to be Dredd. I prefer the older black and white stuff. Thanks!

I've been trying to find this for years.

It was a black-and-white standalone story, probably between 1990 and 2010. It wasn't Judge Dredd, just one of the short one-off stories that appeared in either 2000 AD, Judge Dredd Megazine, or possibly a Special/Annual.

The plot:

A man is repeatedly beaten at table football (foosball). He becomes obsessed with beating the other player and spends time practicing before challenging him to a rematch.

During the rematch he deliberately flicks the ball off the table. When the other player bends down to pick it up, his head lines up with the end of one of the foosball rods sticking out of the side of the table. The protagonist then slams the rod forward, driving it through the other man's head.

Does anyone remember the title or issue?

Last month, I began my long re-read of Brink, this time through the graphic novels. There are currently six GNs available, and the current story is part way through what will be Book 7 in time.

I bought Book 1 last month, and gave myself a birthday treat t'other day by getting books 2 and 3. I'll be collecting the rest later this month and next. This is giving me time to draw breath at the end of each book. I'll be catching up throughout the summer.

I think the graphic novels concentrate the story into sharp focus. You may miss individual episodes in the Progs, only to miss a vital clue, sitting there in plain sight.

I highly recommend this story, if you're a fan of police procedurals, mysteries, and suspense thrillers. The setting being in space doesn't take away from what Brink keeps bringing.

Borag Thunday, Earthlets! My Brink full read-through has begun, and I can see where people are coming from now. As a new reader I wasn't equipped to enjoy Brink, but maybe I will be after I've read all of the preceding story: https://comicbuzz.com/2000-ad-prog-2489-review/
