In the hope of stimulating some conversation in the dead group, here are
my thoughts:

Dredd: Fit
Excellent art by Henry Flint. The scratchy work suits this story,
although I'd have liked to have seen a less obvious conclusion.

ABC Warriors: Return to Mars #12
Absolutely gorgeous artwork by Clint Langley. My main issue with recent
series is that it all seems to be told in flashback, and the current
narrative moves at a snail's pace.

Tharg's 3rillers: After the Vengeance #3
Brutal, with a good conclusion.

Future Shocks: The Flowers of Viber Hinge
A little preachy (considering the current anniversary), but otherwise
enjoyable.

Grey Area: I.D., Please
This series has been growing on me, especially since last issue's
developments. I usually like Abnett's work but until recently Grey Area
hadn't grabbed my attention. I'd like to see more Mark Harrison art on
this series, too.

Cheers,

I thought After the Vengeance was a terrific piece of work. Well scripted and well drawn. The Future Shocks story was melancholic and struck all the right notes for me. After a slow warming to, I'm going to miss Grey Area, it' become one of my favourite stories. Just the mere mention of RoJaws gave me goose bumps, in a good way!

Flippin'eck!

Barely anything for a couple of years and then a discussion pops up out
for the blue.

Usually I love Mark Harrison's stuff but his Grey Area hasn't really
done it for me.

Henry Flint is a god. 'Nuff said.

I have to admit, it took a whle to grow on me but I think Grey Area has great potential for future development.

I am just hoping that He Who Shall Not Be Named does not return!
