I'm still kicking myself for not picking up your Doomlord and 13 Floor collections when they were available :)Jet Simianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00393803864740299439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5176950784481540459.post-15722833049968154482014-02-26T12:13:53.808+13:002014-02-26T12:13:53.808+13:00Nice piece, keep an eye on Hibernia's facebook...Nice piece, keep an eye on Hibernia's facebook page in the next few days for news on the Tower King!Hibernia Comicshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03902955322884572719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5176950784481540459.post-6571938144773826872014-01-26T20:36:28.222+13:002014-01-26T20:36:28.222+13:00Cheers Dave!

I've no doubt I felt I was growing 'out' of Eagle at the time (being a venerable 13 years of age), but the weird element was also that around the time of the end of daemon and Doomlord Eagle retired its photostrips, which were honestly rotten, but I kinda liked them in that they gave the mag its own identity. Mind you, around that time too they brought in some strips (Crow Street Comp was one?) which seemed a pale imitation of other media success stories (something on TV rhyming with Strange Bill, for example) and while earthly stories and ripping police/war/detective things were all fine and everything, the next stop on my teenage pop culture train looked much more enticing all round. To this day I've not read a single page of Max and his multi-floored machinations (although I believe Hibernian Press put a short-run collection together of it and one of Doomlord. Good on them!)Jet Simianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00393803864740299439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5176950784481540459.post-661873978518652112014-01-26T18:21:26.082+13:002014-01-26T18:21:26.082+13:00As someone who stayed on past House of the Demon t...As someone who stayed on past House of the Demon though the absorbed 13th floor (and past the point where max the computer took over Eagle's editorship in a Thargesque kinda way (but not Big E thankfully), I think the jump off was probably well timed. 13th Floor was memorable, but had a kind of tweeness, and lacked the surreal chills and horror of House...<br /><br />David R<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5176950784481540459.post-58166838029214302082014-01-24T06:32:10.446+13:002014-01-24T06:32:10.446+13:00Yeah, I like Redondo, too - Return to Armageddon f...Yeah, I like Redondo, too - Return to Armageddon for sure (it's just been collated for the first time since its debut I think!) and his book of Nemesis (book 3?)<br /><br />I felt bad not really enjoying Ortiz' Rogue at the time as well, but him being on art duties was really the least of the issues with the strip. He was following up what should have been the end of the series with the Traitor General tracked down and everything!Jet Simianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00393803864740299439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5176950784481540459.post-29654731537314810702014-01-23T23:32:06.940+13:002014-01-23T23:32:06.940+13:00Was never a fan of Ortiz, a bit too scratchy for m...Was never a fan of Ortiz, a bit too scratchy for my liking, but I really loved the fluidity of the character poses in Redondo's work, especially in "Return to Armageddon."GuanoLadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10003894743902155910noreply@blogger.com
