I've got back into 2000 AD recently, after a 20 or so year absence
Population of Mega City only 50 million now? Gosh, I guess the periodic disasters have really taken their toll...
Some excellent stories over the couple of months I've been reading - Chris Weston's art on the Sensitive Klegg story in Judge Dredd was particularly outstanding, I remember reading his work on Indigo Prime in Killing Time, he really is an extraordinary artist.
Prog 1899 wasn't that good, to be sure - the Judge Dredd story had a weak resolution, Brass Sun has a great concept but flat execution, and Black Shuck (a kind of reworked Beowulf) was particularly disappointing. Aquila was the pick, in art and story, and there was a decent Future Shock.
1900 looks to be great though - lots of new storylines, and a fantastic cover by Greg Staples. Can't wait for it to come out next week.
