First up, massive HUGE apols for anyone popping back here to look for an update but finding nowt.
Been real busy with my modelling hobby, as a look over there will attest.
Anyway, kinda modelled out today so i picked a back issue out at random for a bit of a change.
And here we are back with Action.
Only just a month away from the ban - and you can see portents already.
First strip inside from the fab, groovy cover is the first episode of "Kids Rule Ok". Its infamous now for its ultraviolence, as you can see here from the very first page, but even though i was a 14 year-old it didn't appeal to me at all. Just found it a nasty, shoddy tale.
Still think that today.
Moving through, we come to "Dredger", who's art has improved immeasurably compared to previous issues. Classic moment here - Dredger and Breed are trapped on a train and their hostage has copped it. They need to get out, bluffing it with Breed impersonating the stiff. When he points out to Dredger he doesn't look anything like him, this is the Man's response.
Classic!
Final thing of note. Hookjaw's good guy finally goes up against the beastie and loses in the most graphic way. Strong stuff, despite the shoddy art. If this was an issue looked at while debating the whole "has it gone too far?" issue, it was sure presenting a stong case in favour.
