Villordsutch recently managed to secure a few minutes with Rob Williams (Judge Dredd, Unfollow) to discuss the upcoming release of Judge Dredd: Titan which is set to arrive on the shelves come June 16th… Villordsutch: When did the initial spark ignite for Titan? Was it devised to fit neatly after the Day of Chaos, as […]
Comic Book Review – Judge Dredd: Titan
Villordsutch reviews Judge Dredd: Titan… Mega-City One, 2136 AD. This vast urban hell on the east coast of post-apocalyptic North America is home to 50 million citizens. Crime rules the streets, and the Judges are empowered to dispense summary justice. These lawmen are judge, jury and executioner. Toughest of all is Judge Dredd – he […]
Comic Book Review – Judge Dredd: Dead Zone
Villordsutch reviews Judge Dredd: Dead Zone… While investigating a murder at the Chaos Day Memorial, Dredd comes across a slave ring in which people are being sent into the bowels of the earth to rob the bodies of the dead. Yodie Planchet is one such unfortunate being forced to undertake in this harrowing labour. But […]
Comic Book Review – 2000AD Prog 1945
Oli Davis reviews 2000AD Prog 1945… Borag Thungg, Earthlets. The creative team behind the deeply endearing Survival Geeks – Gordon Rennie and Emma Beeby – enter part 2 of their latest strip, The Alienist. Part 1 was all set-up, introducing a cast of characters – none of which, oddly, were the protagonists. But there was a […]
Comic Book Review – 2000AD Prog 1944
Oli Davis reviews 2000AD Prog 1944… Borag Thungg, Earthlets. Helium still feels like it’s treading water. Actually, scrap that expression. Helium still feels like it’s treading an ocean of poison gas. That works better. After last week’s exposition episode (Hodge was revealed to be the last surviving member of an overthrown royal family) and shocking cliffhanger […]
Comic Book Review – 2000AD Prog 1943
Oli Davis reviews 2000AD Prog 1943… Borag Thungg, Earthlets. Helium is now in Part 10. Jeez. Has it been that long? What started out as a strip with potential has become one of Ctrl + C, Ctrl + V. Any scene in Helium could be replaced by one in Brass Sun and you wouldn’t know the difference. Ian […]
Comic Book Review – 2000AD Prog 1942
Oli Davis reviews 2000AD Prog 1942… Borag Thungg, Earthlets. Rob Williams and Henry Flint continue their latest Judge Dredd run with part three of Enceladus: Old Life. After a few splashes of colour in the last issue, Flint returns to palettes dominated by a single colour. The ice-ravaged Mega City One is monochrome in whites, […]
Comic Book Review – 2000AD Prog 1941
Oli Davis reviews 2000AD Prog 1941… Borag Thungg, Earthlets. Absalom gets the front cover treatment this week. Tiernen Trevallion’s work on it is terrific; few draw creases as well as him. Look at the left arm of the nearest police officer in the strip’s second panel. The air stinks of decay. There’s something definitive about the […]
Comic Book Review – 2000AD Prog 1928
Oliver Davis reviews 2000AD Prog 1928… Borag Thungg, Earthlets! This week sees the culmination of creative dream team Rob Williams and Henry Flint’s stint on Judge Dredd. There isn’t an emoticon for Sad Ol’Stoney Face, so you’ll just have to imagine one. What you won’t have to imagine, though (unless you own a copy of […]
Comic Book Review – 2000AD Prog 1927
Oliver Davis ranks the Top 5 strips in 2000AD Prog 1927… 5. Orlock This week’s Orlock is much better than the previous episodes, if only just because Jake Lynch’s black and white art work is easier to follow. The panels aren’t as confusingly fluid and the action is paced much better. The story has also […]
