Finally, we have more Jaegir. Gordon Rennie offers more details and back-story in this week's plot, although the set-up feels very bland.

-- JUDGE DREDD // MEGA-CITY CONFIDENTIAL: Still mysterious and intriguing. Dark silhouettes in the art help the mood -- OUTLIER // PART TWO: Oddly enough, the character with any sort of personality so far in this strip just got killed off. We get it, the freak is killing people from his past off, can we move on now? -- SLÁINE // A SIMPLE KILLING: I think Sláine suffers from A.D.D., it would explain how he can't stay on one task for a single story arc -- SINISTER DEXTER // GUN SHY: The dialog gets dry and I'm not sold that the gang leader would actually decide to hire these two strangers. It feels forced. -- JAEGIR // STRIGOI: Starts off cool, but then turns into a bunch of talking heads. They talk about cool things that I want to see, not read a description of. Show, don't tell; it's comics you guys, come on! -- OVERALL: Honestly, it's a pretty boring prog. Dredd is the only strip holding my interest. I think Sinister Dexter is going to pick up, but I have little hope for the others. more
