And sticks his foot firmly in his yap in the process.

The comics market, sadly, is dying because the Playstation has taken over and comics can't compete. Most comics I have come across haven't realised that they have lost the battle. They haven't changed their format. They need to tell stories. They are not producing great literary works and I don't see why they shouldn't try. The Playstation will never tell stories.

That's from Ian Gibson, long-time 2000AD artist. In comic circles, he's a somewhat semi-famous guy. Who seems to have forgotten his place.

In 1999 2000AD was purchased by AvP developers Rebellion. You know, a video games company. Rebellion continue to publish both 2000AD and the Judge Dredd Magazine to this day.

Don't bite the hand that feeds you, Ian. If it wasn't for the awareness Rebellion's tie-in games bring to 2000AD, I bet a ton of people wouldn't even know it's still around. Oh, and while we're on the subject, you're wrong about the "great literary works" thing. Like, silly wrong. As someone who works in comics you should know better than that. Luke Plunkett
