Judge Dredd Megazine Vol. 2 #53
Script: John Wagner
Art: Mike "Mick" McMahon
Letters: Tom Frame
IIRC, Wagner and McMahon spent quite some time developing the alien character of Howler because they wanted a new recurring Dredd villain; the problem with Dredd is that his default method of dealing with villains leaves them as a bloodied corpse. (The most successful returnees were Judge Death [already dead]; Mean Machine Angel [actually did die, but was resurrected with the survival power of 'comic relief']; Chopper [not really a villain]; and PJ Maybe [had a good run over multiple decades, but eventually bought it about four different ways at once].) So they had high hopes for Howler.

Until Wagner actually wrote the story, realised there was no way Howler or Dredd would leave the other alive, and since the strip is called 'Judge Dredd'...

I thought I didn't qualify. I was considered, what was it... volatile, self-centered, and I don't play well with others.
I got some stickers up for sale I think the users in here would find cool over at SA-Mart. Got some other stuff based on Metal Gear Solid and Simpsons too.

I'm contractually obligated whenever Fleetway's Sonic the Comic is posted to let people know that there's a podcast called Sonic the Comic the Podcast that is reading through the comics in real time (so every two weeks) and is also a good overview of what it was like growing up as a British kid in the 90s.



Such a good comic at its best.

Sarah Dyer (Action Girl, long time colorist/collaborator/spouse to Evan Dorkin) also revealed she's going through chemo. If you've ever enjoyed work from either Sarah Dyer or Evan Dorkin, I can't recommend Evan Dorkin's patreon enough. They've been through the ringer the past year, any little bit helps.

I've been obsessed with Brecht Evens recently, especially his crowd scenes and use of colour. His newest graphic novel The City of Belgium is some virtuoso stuff that's totally outside the style of anglo comics.

Never enough Bill Sienkiewicz in the world. I met him at a con when I was in high school and he signed my MK#1 which I later sold to buy cocaine when I hit my late teens.

Moon Knight was my favorite book when I was a teenager, :corsair: largely due to the art

Yeah I've been reading through the old Moon Knight stuff and the art is a huge treat. I guess with the series coming I should speed up a bit and try to get to some of the modern runs.

I'm late to the party reading through the Court of Owls storyline in Batman for the first time and the labyrinth issue was so cool. I read it in hardcover so I don't have digital versions to post but I just wanted to say somewhere how much I liked it. I don't even know how a digital version would even mimic the effect.

At one one point the panels change orientation so that you have to rotate the book ninety degrees and read the book from the new "top" down. It rotates more than once. And I forgot which way was right-side up so at one point when I turned the page I went backwards in the story. I literally got turned around and accidentally retraced my steps.

And yeah, this sort of thing doesn't translate well when read digitally (even on a tablet). See also the recent Flash #776.

If you like that kind of stuff Lemire did a mini called Trillium which also plays around with page layout and such. It tells the story of someone from the past and someone from the future meeting up and will do stuff like have the person from the past story run on the top of the page left to right and person from the future story take place at the bottom of the page and run right to left. That would be just one issue. Almost every issue did something different with the page structure/layout.

That sounds extremely up my alley, thanks. Love when comics do things that only they can do.

Really seems like a proud Ontarian. He has Essex County and the trillium is our provincial flower.

Related non-comic thing in the same vein, the mobile game Device 6 by Simogo. They made Year Walk and Sayonara Wild Hearts. It’s basically a digital text adventure but it does some really clever stuff with device rotation and scrolling to make the words more than just words.

I'd guess that they're using the characters most prominent/introduced during the range of time, like 1984-1995. I started reading Spider-Man right around #300 with McFarlane so I definitely recall that storyline (I still have that issue and it'd be worth some money if I hadn't read it so much that the cover eventually fell off)

I can take or leave Tim Sale but I get why people like him. I love The Long Halloween and its art but ascribe most of that to the colorist, Gregory Wright, who I just had to look up because colorists never get any credit. Only blame.
