I'm a bit behind, I'm on vol 3 at the moment (as per pasted image)

But I have been limiting myself to buying one a month, and I only started on them after watching the Dredd film again (for about the 4th time). It's funny rereading all the old strips and remembering (most of) them from the original run... thirty-mumble years ago!

Yeah I can't wait for Block Mania / Apocalypse War. Also I stopped getting 2000AD round Prog 500ish so anything after that is going to be new for me. w00t!

Thoroughly engrossing. About 2/3 of the way through. It's influencing my dreams and disturbing me generally. It's so subliminal I would have to hail him as a genius.

Aaah yes! Not that edition, but the same book.
And also, stigmata is another word that took my interest :lol:
I always imagined :von: trying to sing "stigmata martyr" by bauhaus.

What a horrid thought... :lol:
