TwoPair posted:I thought this was kinda sweet, y'know, in a weird way. The Thunderbolts are stranded in the far flung future of I was meaning to post this. What makes it great is that it vindicates Mr. Hyde being in the series. Thunderbolts is about redeeming the villains in various ways, although there are exceptions, like in Crossbones' case. Mr. Hyde's been in the comic for a decent while and although he doesn't appear to have much reason to turn on the team, he definitely isn't going to turn good any time soon. He's one of the bottom-of-the-barrel villains in the Marvel universe in the company of Crossbones, Bullseye and Carnage. Just a vile monster. Yet in the series, there's been a subtle sense of there being more to him. He's stood up for Satana on occasion and more importantly, he has a bit of a relationship with Troll. He's amused by the feral kid and gets along with her to the point that he's become something of a big brother figure. The fact that he'd save her soul to stop it from being tainted like his is his one redeeming moment. He claims he's nothing but a killer and in that instance proves himself wrong. Also, I'm wondering if Hyde's role in the series was meant to be Juggernaut before Parker found out that he was going to be taken off the board for a while.

2000AD Prog 1467 Guy has gone vigilante and takes out a gang in several hits while the Judges try to figure why and where he'll strike next. He takes out all the gang members, then   ^^click for the bigs JD isn't all bad, he's just made that way

That's very accurate; even in the early ones he was fairer/'softer' than other Judges. I distinctly remember one of the early stories; thanks to constant high unemployment, people tend to go kinda nuts with little to DO, so a guy goes a little crazy, goes on a spree. Dredd's response at the end of it all? 20 years Hard Labour(To which the guy is very happy-that's WORK, dammit!). One of the other Judges specifically called him kinder/softer than most would be in that one.

Then other time a kid tried to kill himself and Dredd charged him with loitering, Dredd saved him then changed him 90 days in the penal colony for being a public nuisance. Then another civilian tried to get the sentence lowered and she got charged first 2,000 credits then she talked back and got charged 4,000 for obstruction of justice.

One that stuck with me was Dredd busting an old guy breaking into a cemetary to bury his dead wife. Guy is sent to trial, dead wife is dropped off at the recycling centre to be well.. yeah. Her naked corpse is soon to fall into the recycling machine, when Dredd calls a halt to it. He then pays for a cemetary plot for the old lady from his personal funds. He still puts the guy in jail though for breaking and entering.

His mercy-killing (sorta) of former Chief Judge McGruder (prog 1009) was also a rare character moment for him. He's a horrible facist dick, but far from heartless regardless of what he'd like to think about himself.

Related to this thread though does anyone have the last couple pages of Hitman on hand? The derailed thread had me thinking about it and where Tommy tells Natt about his dream at the end always gets me.

Duncan the Wonder Dog is the comic that asks "What if animals could talk? What if they could talk but we didn't care?" It is heart-rending and everyone should read it.

I'm not mad or bothered or anything, but you should maybe consider linking those images, as even the thumbnails plainly spoil what happens. I don't really have any interest in reading that series now.

If anyone can post the backup story to Action Comics #13 (especially the last page) that would be great. It was really a great, touching story, especially for people who love dogs.

I don't understand why Ennis doesn't stick to police procedurals or hard-boiled detectives or Westerns or stuff that he doesn't hate writing. Out of all the Punisher stories ever written that had nothing to do with the Punisher, my favorite is "Brotherhood", which was took place in 616, not MAX. I guess the last few pages could even go in this topic, but I don't know if they'd make sense out of context. I swear I could hear "Amazing Grace" being played on bagpipes the last time I read that story. Anybody have it handy?
