Bad Company/First Casualties is everything that a 2000AD story should be in 2015. Retro, yet relevant, ridiculous, yet intelligent and with the irreverent tone of a 1980’s anarchist student comic book, but updated for our newly dumbed down, metrosexual, genderless, anaesthetised by political correctness, tuned in, but turned off igeneration.
Rating: 7/10
My review is a bit late this week, so sorry about that, I was a bit preoccupied with writing my webcomic about Hitler and his dog (available on this blog, if you want a look/laugh). PROG 1957 has a front cover that looks like a rushed pencil sketch, a Judge Dredd story that takes the p*** out of runners (nothing wrong with that, as I am one myself and we deserve a bit of mockery), a Defoe story that (sadly) is starting to get a bit ill-disciplined and wobbly, a daft horror story with a joke ending, a funnier than usual episode of Brass Sun, and a flippin awesome closing story in Bad Company//First Casualties. BC has a great little joke about Angela Merkel, the German globalist who is killing off Germany at the moment with her obsequious obedience to multi-cultural political correctness, and it’s that little joke that really puts it over the top into the category of ‘excellent.’ That’s what 2000AD should be doing in 2015, mocking the little twerps who are screwing up the world for all of us, but hiding the goodies like Easter eggs within a meadow of ridiculousness. You can get away with a lot when you are being silly. Anyway, let’s finish this ‘review’ before PROG 1957 is released tomorrow. Bad Company is the star, and it continues to be ace, mate. Get 2000AD for that story alone. Does anybody say ‘ace’ anymore? Probably not, let’s bring it back, shall we? Out with the new, and in with the old. Let’s get old again. Old was good, it’s the new that is screwing things up at the moment.
