Flooded

The Dredd Alert blog has fallen well behind schedule of late and yet recently has had a flurry of activity. I've finally finished off Black Hawk, and written about two Judge Dredds and a Strontium Dog, which brings us to another entry...

I'm Announcing An Announcement

So August was a busy month and I failed to write anything on here. Crucially though, I got a lot of writing done and some of it is due to be announced soon.

It may seem odd, but I'm announcing that an announcement will be announced.
