2000AD

Advantages: A good mix of stories constantly changing
Disadvantages: You might not enjoy EVERY story, and it's gutting if you miss an issue

2000AD.. The Galaxy's Greatest Comic! It's a weekly comic that most newsagents stock (sadly, normally in the kids section) and features five 6-page stories per issue, the most famous character being Judge Dredd. And I owe it to John Wagner et al to point out the movie was sub-standard pap... This is the best advertisement for British creative talent around, but sadly most creators disappear to America for the money and use up all their great ideas on the superhero-churning machines that are DC and Marvel - except Grant Morrison who has way too much imagination... So what 2000AD offers it's readers is opportunities to enjoy up-and-coming fresh-faced creators mixed in with a few old school stalwarts. And that is the best thing, because there will always be at least one story you enjoy in this anthology mag to keep you interested ...

Review of 2000 AD

2000 A.D.

Advantages: Big action movie, great stunts with a decent plot.
Disadvantages: You need to know something about computer.

Chan is trying to portray. Is he trying to scare those who are already scared of everything screwing up when the clock strikes 12:00am on 1st January 2000?.or is he showing that the only way a Millennium exist is due to terrorist and human errors. Looking into the casting, Aaron Kwok (who I've been brought up with) was outstanding and convincing as Peter Li. Although I don't think I was attached to his character, I emphasised with what he was going through. However, I felt it was Chan's fault to create Peter as a martial artists. Since when does a geek knows how to do Kung Fu? From playing Tekken computer games? It is plausible that Peter knows Kung Fu, but Chan should have established that early on in the film, rather than just seeing Peter kicking butt when he needs to. One particular action sequence that keeps you on the edge ...

Review of 2000 AD (Special Collector's Edition) (Subtitled and Dubbed) (Wide Screen) (DVD)

2000AD

Advantages: Good quality artwork and excellent stories
Disadvantages: Lacks consistency

An integral part of the late seventies and all the way through the eighties, this magazine (comic?) was light years ahead of it's time. Believable 3 dimensional characters, outstanding art and exceptional writing made it the eagerly awaited highlight of my week. Rogue Trooper, Strontium Dog, Judge Dredd and the ABC Warriors would blow my mind each and every issue. Over the last few years however it tends to have lacked some of it's earlier potential, whereby in the early years it would have the occasional 'miss' (Dan Dare! What was all that about?) this now seems to be the rule rather than the exception. The magazine has tried to 'mature' and in doing so has, I believe, ostracized a great many of it's original fans. In summary, still a fairly good read but would love it if 2000AD managed to recapture at least some of it ...
