FQ18: Reviews!

Over on Everything Comes Back To 2000AD, Mike Donachie takes time from raising his fine crop of ankle biters to review FQ18.

FQ18: Pimpery 01

It occurs to me that I've not been very forward at sharing what is in the new FQ- well we've got:

Praxis, by Rob Burton and Roland Bird- the cover strip for this issue.

Not This Time, Johnny Tomorrow- a cautionary tale from the past, courtesy of Robert Ferrie and Simon Hayes.

Oscar Maltby- By The Bloody Code.

Oscar Maltby? What has he got to do with FQP? Well, he's written a strip for us for the next Something Wicked, Tales of the Scooper- Downtime (pic to the left) and he's also written an E-book!

By The Bloody Code is available from Amazon for a paltry 86p- so what are you waiting for?

Post-Bristol

Flippi-Neck! I've been back a week and I've barely had time to breathe- let alone catch up on the weekend that was Bristol 2011.

Huge thanks go to my travelling companion- artist Dunk! Nimmo, for helping the trip there and back again pass by in less time than I'd have believed possible.

Saturday was a treat and it was great to both catch up with folk and finally meet some folk I've known for years!

Pic shamelessly nicked from the 2000AD board, pictured at the FQP table are Matt McLaughlin, The Emperor, Owen Watts, Simon, Richmond and Bolt-01.

I've not picked up much this weekend- regretfully, but of the titles I did, I can heartily recommend Dr WTF? and, of course- the new issue of West!

Next up is the single day gig in Brum during August- but before that there is the little matter of FutureQuake 18 hitting contributors deadline on the 31st May. 

Bristol countdown- Richmond talks to the FP Blog

Over on the rather wonderful Forbidden Planet Blog Richmond talks some about the process of getting ready for a convention. You can read the whole thing here!
