It's always a pleasure to have John Wagner around, but I'm really enjoying Rory McConville and Kenneth Niemand's works. Also, Al Ewing did a quick return to write a story for the FCBD issue that I'm really looking forward to.
Also, the Megazine is kicking ass right now. Blunt I could take or leave but Lawless is a juggernaut, the longer Dredds are a joy and Waugh is pretty fun, although it's missing a lot of the weirdo John Smith charm, especially on Waugh's dialogue itself.
Also, FUCKING STICKLEBACK'S COMING BACK FUCK YEAH! And they seem to be hyping up new Dredds by Dave Taylor and Simon Fraser that look fucking cool. Hopefully the new Aquila starting next week doesn't suck. That's one of those strips I like more in concept than execution so far.

2000ad neophyte here. I haven't been too keen on the current Devlin strip. Is the original much better?
Also I'm really keen on this Zaucer of Zilk guy. He's my kind of weird. Do you know if the original run from 2012 was collected? The 2000ad shop is kind of hard to navigate for me.
Jackson Martinez
The first Zaucer story hasn't been collected yet, but here you go: mediafire.com
As for Devlin, the original has better dialogue but it goes off the rails pretty hard after a few series. The original writer, John Smith, is kind of an acquired taste. Anyway, those stories are collected in two TPBs: Swimming in Blood and Red Tide. Good stuff.

Hopefully some of these storytimes are worth a read. I just want something new I can pick up from my local and actually enjoy reading.
Jace Perry
haveing a certain, erm... affinity towards ladies with tails, I've always wanted to read some Tyranny Rex, but wasnt able to, does someone have a copy to storytime?.
Joshua Garcia
I've only read the Alan Moore stuff so thank you all for these recommendations. Which are the better reprinted trades to get?
Nicholas Cooper
>>The Fall of Deadworld » Sidney (part 1)
Technically something like Part 13 of the Fall of Deadworld story. Deadworld itself is an amazing series. You can read the first 11 parts of Deadworld in the two Fall of Deadworld hardcover books that have been released. The only thing you'd be missing is Fall of Deadworld: Doomed, which hasn't been collected yet and ran in Progs 2150-2161

Ah, I keep seeing those on Amazon but have given them a pass so far. Thanks for the heads up. I'll check 'em out before my mail arrives.

Great big fun. Gets a bit repetitive sometimes but reading it during my prog slog was exactly the breath of fresh air they needed. Love it.
Btw, if you're a fan of Dante and of one side character in particular, you might wanna keep an eye out for future issues of Zarjaz, the 2000AD fanzine...
Gavin Garcia
Cool. I'm definitely going to check him out. His name, design, and premise I find utterly intriguing. I'm also a sucker for swashbucklers.
Easton Reed
Friendly reminder that Judge Dredd Complete Case Files Volume 5 is currently free on digital in the 2000AD webshop: shop.2000ad.com
It has Judge Death Lives, Block Mania, Apocalypse War, and a healthy bunch of short thrills. One of the biggest peaks of classic Dredd.
Carter King
I've been wondering, how popular is 2000ad? I can't find any sales figures. I'm just wondering what the prog does per week/the mag does per month. I know we're talking comics so it's already niche, but maybe some Brit can elucidate?
Nice!
Evan Wright
Premise?
Gavin Turner
Premise is... you know what, we're all locked in here with ourselves. Why not a storytime, CAPTCHA-willing?
Blake Thomas
my body is ready.
fuck do I love the coloring in this title
Noah Watson
You're one of a kind as always, lad
David Carter
I read Case Files 5 a few years ago and just thought it was like fine. So I just don't think Dredd's for me.

It happens. Luckily, there's a looot more to 2000AD than just Dredd. Case in point!

A bit of fun context: Nikolai Dante began publishing in 1997, at the tail end of a rough and tumultuous decade for the Galaxy's Greatest. Most new strips were either Dredd clones with half-baked premises (Dead Meat, Trash) or the drecks of Mark Millar.
Logan Garcia
Overall, there was a lot of big macho manly action with little else going around (See: Inferno). And writer Robbie Morrison famously said that he thought tough man characters like Dredd and Johnny Alpha were getting stale.
Isaac Scott
Judge, have you considered applying for a position at 2000ad?
Noah Diaz
One particularly salient point for him was that they never fucked, so when he created Nikolai Dante, his intention was, in his words, "to get 2000AD laid."
Jason Hall
Originally, he planned to set the series in the actual late 19th Century Russia, but was convinced to move the setting a few centuries forward and give it more sci-fi elements.
I actually sent a couple of Future Shock scripts a few years back. Even got a rejection letter for one! But sadly, the last couple either never reached them or the reply never reached me, and since then, it's gotten really expensive to send stuff from all the way down here.

Bummer, what were the ideas? And where do you live where shipping there's expensive?
Thomas Thompson
The strip was an instant hit at a time when 2000AD desperately needed one, and also a time when they were actively trying to court a younger, hornier teenage audience, a trend which culminated in a pair of absolutely infamous ads in UK magazine Loaded.
Evan Roberts
yeah this seems a lot more my speed! nemisis is my next try
Jordan James
But despite that courting, underneath all the sex and violence Dante proved to be a very smart comic, with constant character development and maturity through its run... while still having lots of sex and violence.
One was a bit of Dr Strangelove in space and the other was about a man purposefully trying to create a cargo cult. And I live in sunny Buenos Aires, Argentina. Quite a-ways from Bongland!
Brody Taylor
Oh yeah, Nemesis is fucking grand. Gets a bit janky a few books in but the first four or five books are incredible. Heavy metal weirdness all around.

>set the series in the actual late 19th Century Russia
would 2000AD have taken it? or was the sci fi like more steampunky?
reminds me i need to reread that western from 2000AD i downloaded years ago, i think it was a dredd spin off
Gavin Jenkins
Adrian Torres
Well, this looks like a lovely place. See any familiar faces, Yas Forums?
>or was the sci fi like more steampunky?
Probably, although I don't remember them going into much detail about it. I imagine it could've looked like a Russian version of Stickleback (WHICH IS COMING BACK SOON FUCK YEAH).
Also, you mean Missionary Man? That's a pretty cool one.

I know, right? Fucking tremendous. That and Leviathan, by the same creative team, are some of the best stories in the modern progs.

Judge can you rank your Dante volumes from best to worst? As you can see 3 of the volumes are OOP. Are they musts?
