This year is probably going to be a good year for John Smith. It's certainly going to be a good one for his fans, albeit an expensive one. A secong volume of his 'Devlin Waugh' stories is coming soon (reprinting the mega-epic with Steve Yeowell art, amongst other things), there's a complete 'Indigo Prime' collection due in the summer and more 'Devlin Waugh' promised in the 'egazine'and 'Tyranny Rex' in '2000 A.D'. as well as his new series with Paul Marshall 'Leatherjack' which was tantalisingly described as 'epic' in a recent issue.
And, presumably to tie in with the new series 'Firekind' is being reprinted in '2000 A.D. Extreme Edition' #8 due Mid April. For those of you who don't know the title it's a bi-monthly repeat title with the best of the house of Tharg. It'll cost you £2.99 and as the strip clocks in at about 70 pages there'll no doubt be something else to back it up. Expect an oddly eccentric choice if previous editions are anything to go by.
For those of you who don't know the story...I don't know what I can say without spoiling it. Alien Dragons. Xenobiologists. Stuff. If you like John Smiths work then it's worth trying. Heck, even if you don't like his stuff at that price it's worth a go. Firekind was one of the few gems in the mire of drekk that was 2k in the late 90's. It's initial publication was marred by episodes published in the wrong order but this time, standing along and properly presented, it should be real treat to brighten up April.
And before you take the piss for me starting another 2k thread ask yourself who e;se is going to tell you of such Zarjazz goodness? And no, I don't get paid by Tharg for doing it. |

ragonheist' would be the back up story but I won't complain about more Bill Savage. Ah well, there'll be plenty of Massimo Belardinelli dungeons and dragons soon.
