Finally, we end this week with more Slaine. Pat Mills go a tense issue this week, but keeps it full of charm and character. Mills offers little bits of information here and there, creating a strong interest in future events. Likewise, Simon Davis has some amazing visuals. Even when a large panel doesn't hold anything important, it's a joy to simply look at. Read Full Review

-- JUDGE DREDD // SHOOTERS NIGHT: This has shaped up to be a great entry. The art looks like it was done quickly, but it communicates the story and sells the action and emotions very well, so I'm not complaining. Funny, smart, thrilling, what more can you ask for in a Dredd strip? -- OUTLIER // PART EIGHT: Dark, tragic, and violent in a good way -- INDIGO PRIME // PERFECT DAY: So much better than last week's, this one opens in a creative way and proceeds with interesting developments. We barely even needed last week's entry. -- THARG'S 3RILLERS // COLONY: Very suspenseful, in a similar vein to John Carpenter's The Thing. It's too bad this strip couldn't last longer, only one installment to go. -- SLÁINE // A SIMPLE KILLING: Again, very lit tle happens, but it looks great doing it. -- OVERALL: Very solid prog, each entry is enjoyable in its own way with Dredd and 3rillers/Colony still in the lead and Sláine scoring the lowest due to it's lack of plot. more
