Comic Book Review – 2000AD Prog 1935
Oliver Davis reviews 2000AD Prog 1935… Borag Thungg, Earthlets! After last week’s action-packed assassin fight, Judge Dredd goes slows the pace with an exposition issue. Dredd travels to the Emerald Isles (read: Ireland) to find out why Judge Fintan was targeted. Other than a few interesting details about the assassin Stonefish (he routinely wipes his mind to […]
Comic Book Review – 2000AD Prog 1933
Oliver Davis reviews 2000AD Prog 1933… Borag Thungg, Earthlets! In the first of three different concluding instalments this week, John Wagner’s latest Judge Dredd strip – ‘Breaking Bud’ – comes to an end. Unlike his last run, with the occasionally brilliant, but ultimately hammy ‘Dark Justice’, ‘Breaking Bud’ has its dithering narrative topped off with […]
Comic Book Review – 2000AD Prog 1932
Oliver Davis reviews 2000AD Prog 1932… Borag Thungg, Earthlets! Oh dear. Just as things were looking up for Bud Biggard (albeit through very dubious means), the future catches up with him. But that’s how invisibility and time-travelling bracelet morality tales work, isn’t it? Someone takes a shortcut to success and the consequences come to roost once you arrive. […]
Comic Book Review – 2000AD Prog 1930
Oliver Davis reviews 2000AD Prog 1930… Borag Thungg, Earthlets! John Wagner continues his Breaking Bad riff with the second instalment of Judge Dredd story ‘Breaking Bud’ this week, a tale about a recently fired Justice League worker turned to crime. Like dear old Walter White, you think Bud Biggard is just out to support his family. […]
Comic Book Review – 2000AD Prog 1929
Oliver Davis reviews 2000AD Prog 1929… Borag Thungg, Earthlets! A new Judge Dredd story starts in this week’s tome; and, in even better news, the rather plodding Orlock reaches its conclusion. But first, that new Wagner story. As Tharg the Mighty references in the issue’s opening blurb, this is election week in the UK – […]
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 […]
Comic Book Review – 2000AD Prog 1926
@OliDavis ranks the Top 5 strips in 2000AD Prog 1926… 5. Orlock Orlock can now add yet another issue to its disinterested protagonist, weak plot and difficult-to-follow artwork – the strip isn’t funny. There are two noticeable jokes this week (there might be more hidden amongst the humdrum) and neither work. The first is about […]
Top 5 Strips in 2000AD Prog 1925 – Comic Book Review
Oliver Davis reviews 2000AD Prog 1925… Borag Thungg, Earthlets! The format of these reviews is getting an overhaul. Rather than reviewing each 2000AD issue and picking a ‘scrotnig’ (terran translation: best) story each week, all five strips will henceforth be ranked. Because people love arbitrary countdowns. ALL HAIL BUZZFEED. 5. Orlock: Agent of East-Meg One After […]
