And he is pretty cool its true.
Mr Neon God,sir,you must check the Slaine lad out. Of especial note is 'The horned god'trilogy available in graphic novel format,artwork by Simon Bisley a pioneer of ultra acrylic realism(crikey that sounded like arty b****x)and a script by Pat Mills that expertly weaves the old Tuath de Dannan legends of Ireland into a relevant visceral whole...the battles are to die for!
I'm really trying to get hold of one of his comics when he travels in time and arrives in scotland just as william wallaces rebellion is in full swing. I can't remember the name of it though.
Sorry fellow when that whole time travel thing started,Robin Hood,Boudicca et al I kinda switched off,Mills should have had the respect for his creation it deserved and after his 7 year reign as sun king despatched him with the blessing of Slaine's people.Though ,The blood god and the one true word tale had some interesting ideas.All I can suggest is the 2000 a.d website see if there's a database
Didnt know 200AD was still going? ..... I havnt read it in 20 odd years ....
@The Electric Celt hey up lad...si thee. wizz tha from? A Yorkshire lad eh? well I'll go t'fut ov our stairs. ~:cheers: ~;) :bow:

Ahh good old Cas...and Pontecarlo ~D I worked in Glasshoughton in the 80's...Quote:

Batman > spiderman; the batman universe is just that more interesting. I haven't seen batman begins (yet), but the first two were so awesome. I am mentally blocking the ones by Joel 'no talent' Schumacher, they don't exist.
On the 2000 ad front another great fav was Marshal law who basically went round and kicked super heros arses. Weird artwork but enjoyable
http://www.internationalhero.co.uk/m/marshlaw.jpg
I also loved the 2000ad spin-off Toxic comic in the early nineties. Got most of them, always made me laugh that did.
and wasnt Stallone just silly as Judge Dread, it ruined what could/should have been a fantastic movie.
Still I've heard good stuff about the new Batman, let's hope it's as good as it reported to be.
Aaawww Toxic was the dog's nuts!,Marshal Law with that insane Kev Smith,nemesis artwork.
What was that assassin guy story? LOVED THAT!
Can't remember many more...but I've got this picture in my head of a huge skinhead trucker pulling trailers of radioactive waste around and scraping dead flies from the arm he held constantly out the window,and scoffing 'em
2000 a.d released a sister mag called Crisis I was well into,3rd world war,The new statesmen However after about 40 issues it disapeared up it's own.....a bit too p.c
Batman is ace mate, truely its such a cool film i can't praise it enough! ~D
Yeah and Judge Dread did suck but what you gonna do? ~D
Yeah comrade,they destroyed Dredd,always wanted Clint for that role(But funnily would have been disappointed if he actually took it)
I loved Toxic mate. The Driver( How sick was that?), Dinner Ladies from Hell, Coffin( Huge Black God with a severe attitude). I was really angry when they stopped it man. It was one of the coolest comics ever!
Was the assassin the accident man or was that someone else?
Accident man that's it,had demolition man going round my noggin but that was more Stallone pap...Hey Apache reckon we can organise an 'ex-pat' tyke bastion then?
Obviously they are both very intelligent, another thing is Batman is wealthy which gives that advantage w/his gadgets. But Spidey gets my vote simply for his mutant powers. Even though w/planning Batman would find a way...but if they went mano to mano Spidey should have no problem beating the bat crusader.
Sounds like my kind of fun. Are they available on the left side of the pond?Quote:

Answers on a postacrd please ~D
Alpha would just go back in time and kill Dredd when he was a baby.
but...but...Dread...well, he's the law, so Alpha would do some hard labour then....well for a minute or two ~;)
Eh? Jonny has time bombs but he can't time travel, surely?
Pretty tough call. I reckon hand to hand Dredd would pwn Alpha, even with his electronux. Each tooled up though I'd back Jonny: X ray vision, time bombs, and the trusty "number four" cartridge must give him the edge.
Of course unless somweone put a price on Dredd Jonny wouldn't be wasting his time and since Dredd would never break the law it couldn't happen.
[PS BKS you'll have to explain Nemesis to us I could never work out what the .... was going on. Mind you that robot warlock in the ABC warriors, now he was cool. Poor old Hammerstein, what a square in comparison.]
Ah Nemesis,masterwork of twisted ink,another Pat Mills creation,Basically he was some dark lord alien/demon thingy,battling Torquemada,a future fascist/inquisition type,lord of the termite empire,head ot the terminators,great story developement to book nine, where the social parallels really kicked in,don't know after that .But yeah the ABC warriors got introduced,Hammerstein,Deadlock(One mean s.o.b)et al
A huge interdimensional dragon beastie ate Jonny Alpha back in 1988 I think
Starting to realise what a nerd I might be ~D
Mind you after all that.... Rogue trooper would take BOTH Judge Dread and Johnny Alpha whilst sat watching tv and eating one of those burritos thats too hot for God ~:)
At the same time btw ~:cool:
I just took the answer from Prog 2000-they did a sort of mock tournament with every series they'd ever run in, and when Dredd went up against SD, that's what they said happened. So, I assume he can time travel somewhat.Quote:

The EC pretty much summed up Nemesis. The artwork was what I really enjoyed about it.
