Anyone read 2000AD...?

[redsquirrel]

Have to say RT has never been one of my favourite strips. Maybe I can to it too late but these days it seems full of cliches. That said simpler story might lend itself to a film translation

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

Who would you cast as rogue trooper and can we have some centaur genetic cavalry

I'm honestly not interested enough in the character to care.

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

It's Duncan Jones, so I'll watch it for that. Still not sold on RT as a cinematic character, when there is such a treasure trove of tales to be told.

I'd love to see zenith.
Early mills and O'Neil nemesis.

Always been up for that. With the tech and all that, it could be done. I'd go as far as to include Bryan Talbot's work on Nemesis, when he took over artwork on book 4, the Gothic Empire.

This looks a bit familiar, as in rip-off

There was a plan to do a Slaine film. Indie film maker, but I don't think it got off the ground. I could email the guy, come to think of it. if I remember.

If you do, you should know the 'Slaine' storyline. There's a female character in that who is a photographed character then photoshopped into the animation. She's my nextdoor neighbour The animator guy lives in my town and she knew him and he asked her to pose for some episodes.

That's all, as you were.

My m8`s dog was called Slaine . Annoying little shit. We accidentally dropped a metal girder on it`s head (honestly...we where converting a barn) . He then buried it where the outside gas was going to go so two weeks later somebody... me has to dig it up all manky.. in the moonlight... and he burns it on this massive pire of ash .... nutter

At the Green Man festival the other weekend I was loitering waiting for my group when three blokes walk past me. One clocks my Dredd t-shirt and asks "Are you into Dredd? These two are 2000AD artists" so met Simon Davis and his colleague. Unassuming nice guys - seemed a bit sheepish at their mate pointing them out to me but glad he did.

Bums

I remember my first 2000ad and his art on the Moses Quest. I marveled at the art, and just stared at it. He was one of the golden era big guns.

What the fuck? That's ridiculous

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

Even the story is a complete rip off of zenith too! The books are even called phases.

Zephyr: Phase One by Warren Hately

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

Been reading about the author, and when asked for his inspiration he never mentions zenith, even though it's clearly ripped off. He does say using celebrities like the Beatles (Morrison alsoadid this but didnt use any actual names) may get him into legal action, ha.

Still trying to get Nate to give away his fathers boxes of 2000AD comics, which apparently he isn't even that into

(And no his father isn't dead, if he was that would be understandable - he went to australia with his new wife and children and left no forwarding address and hasn't been heard from in years - if anything happened to Nate, I would have absolutely no idea how to get in contact with his father (or even whether he would care), perhaps I would contact the US embassy in Australia).

What's it about?

What's it about?

Spoiler

It's a continuation of a story that started after Judge Cal (which was in the 80s I think) and then carried on in Trifecta.

Essentially there is a Judge, called Judge Smiley, who was set up to run black ops in order to safeguard the city. He has been living in the walls of the Grand Hall of Justice since Cal, pulling strings, ordering assassinations of opponents etc. Trifecta brings three separate stories together, and Smiley stops an attempted coup with the help of Dredd, and a couple of Wally Squad Judges - Jack Point and Dirty Frank.

This story picks that up with Dredd realising that Smiley is going beyond the law and going into direct conflict against him.

It looks at what is justifiable in order to save something, what the judges actually are, why they exist. Is Dredd's moral certainty something that can survive real life decisions?

Not really. Literally the first episode. Trifecta is 6 years old. But I'll do it anyway.
