Although I've been reading 2000AD for the last two/ three years, I've not had a chance to actually read any of the old, original, classic 2000AD.... I'll be honest, the sheer volume of available back story was slightly terrifying so I didn't make a big effort for ages, also, I have a husband (Rich), best mate (Whittle), & Oirish reprobate (Flint) who between them, could quote chapter and verse on any Toothy facts that I needed to make sense of whatever story I was reading in the Prog or Meg.
Then I read Thrill Power Overload & reading about the creation and origins of all the amazing 2000AD characters out there got me so fascinated, I set to work & started raiding husband's huge collection.....and accepted the fact that I'd probably never have the time to pick up & read another non-2000AD comic again.....so.much.stuff.to.read!!!
So, in the last couple of weeks, I've burned through the first Nemesis phonebook, D.R. & Quinch, and the first ABC warriors trade. Next up is Nikolai Dante: The Romanov Dynasty. I've promised to write a couple of mini-reviews for the ECBT site, mainly to assist any noobs who aren't quite sure what to pick up first!!
Suffice to say, they've all been SUPERB so far, and I know the other half is pretty jealous that I'm getting to read all of these for the first time!!
I am having an absolute blast
& i'm interested to find out which of the old classics are people's favourites??

), and most of the Prelude's to Necropolis) but have (for some reason) slogged through such oddities as Invasion!, Death Planet, and Angel. I have also yet to read Armoured Gideon, holding out for a collected edition, though I hear Bill Savage was killed in it (The Disaster 1990 incarnation I assume).
