2000AD #1873

Finally, we have more Grey Area. Dan Abnett offers an interesting concept, but it only serves to fuel relationship drama – not something I would associate with Grey Area or read it for.

-- JUDGE DREDD // FIT: A good one-off Dredd story that functions as an interesting epilogue to the events of the 'Titan' story arc. Continuity has always been a strength with 2000AD -- ABC WARRIORS // RETURN TO MARS: Clint Langley shows off his painterly style again! Unfortunately the plot is only engaging due to the promising outlook of the next story -- THARG'S 3RILLERS // AFTER THE VENGEANCE: I didn't really care for the twist here, *spoilers* why would everyone recognize him as a famous musician if he... isn't one? Did I miss something? -- FUTURE SHOCKS // THE FLOWERS OF VIPER HINGE: Another interesting Future Shocks premise, but I didn't care for this one as much as others. It was predictable and not engaging with the execution. -- GRE Y AREA // I.D., PLEASE: Another quirky alien idea explored, which has been a reliable trend in Grey Area since it's inception. The end also ties into the previous issue and gives a little more value to the Lyra character introduced in the 'Rate Of Exchange' arc -- OVERALL: Though a couple strips didn't wow me, none of them were bad, so this is an above average prog, with Dredd and Grey Area carrying most of the weight. more
