This was the first 2000AD I read. My Grandma brought it for me when she visited us in Hong Kong

If you see this, quote repost with a GIF of your first ever anime.

The Rogue Trooper crucified reminds me of the Wolverine Crucifixion comic cover so thought it might have been inspired by that, but X-Men 251 came out only a few months later.

Even referenced in Space

Mike: Don't forget whose shoulder you cried on when the last one dumped you.
Tim: I won't.
Mike: Or when Johnny Alpha got killed by that big flying monster in 2000 A.D.

One or the most shocking deaths in comics just before the trend to kill everyone and bring them back.

His art was amazing and I loved it all but 2000ad at the time was pointing towards everything being wonderful. Looking back there were certain issues that were exceptional art and story arcs

Also it adds to your titles. Wife is a Dr King, sister is a Professor King

I am a King and the most difficult thing was choosing names for my children. Turns everything into a verb. Joe King, Nick King. Even John King sounds rude.

What about Bernie from the Northampton Saints!

looking at the letters the reason there could never be a Slaine movie is that there would be so many arguments about how to pronounce his name

With my boy when he was a toddler at London Zoo and he and a little girl were standing together being very cute and pointing at the camels. Did the usual interaction with the dad of smiling and nodding and it was Chris Martin of Coldplay

The party has just walked in on the Blood Marriage. Much violence will follow next week. @koboldpress.com #midgard #empireoftheghouls

This is the first 2000AD I ever read. My Grandma brought it with her when she visited us in Hong Kong. I was 7 years old and remember reading it on the beach. It freaked me out, especially the Strontium Dog story but I was hooked.

Mmmm, Fusion food, my favorite

My son's class had a discussion about what their parents did as jobs. This next day all the mums and dads at pick up were laughing and saying wow to me. I'm an engineer. All the kids had rushed home to tell their parents I was a Ninja.

I must google the great rhythmic dancing bridge incident that led to this sign in Singapore being put up.

This is the prog when my family moved back to England and I started regularly buying 2000AD

Disco Rogue scene?

Guerrero the Paladin fell tonight in our Empire of the Ghouls campaign during a battle with Ghost Knights at Yarosbirg Castle. @koboldpress.com #midgard

@vizcomic.bsky.social would you like a Pork Filled Delight?

Yes, watched it a couple of times when it came out, and then showed it to the kids when they were little and wanted to watch it all the time. Put it on for the first time in years and it is still a fantastically fun film.

Python on the cycle path on the Ulu Pandam Park Connector in Singapore

Encountered a lovely python on the way to work today. Handsome fella.

Great session in our Empire of the Ghouls campaign last night. The party battled a group of Dhampmir and Hell Hounds who were hunting Fey Creatures in the forests near Wallenbirg. @koboldpress.com

Also ask early on who is doing which 2 hour watch during a long rest.

My group are heading towards Yarsbirg Castle and decided to take a route through the two big cities described as having Vampires hunting fey in the woods and the largest temple to the Red Maidens. So may be more side quests there

What level are your party in Empire? I am trying to do it milestone based as outlined in the adventure but had so many side quests it does seem slow

Excellent YouTube video on how to map out and travel through such an environment. youtu.be/hoNclh1K_zY?...

In @koboldpress.com city of Zobeck there is a Kobold Ghetto. I imagined it like the old Kowloon Walled City. Entered there once when I was 10 years old and really lent into the surreal experience of it.
