There's a few new comics out this week and I chose to review Panini's new Marvel Essentials #1 separately yesterday. Sadly my local WHSmith's did not have the latest issue of Shift, though had stocked the previous one so I will check again next week and then have to order it by post if it's still not on the shelves.
I don't normally buy Commando comics, just once in a while these days but I just couldn't resist the one called Thor's Hammer which is about Captain Grant Thor not the Marvel demi-god leading his men against a panzer attack with his M18 Hellcats!
There was also a lone copy of another Commando title Heroes Are Human set in the German invasion of France and is part of the "Silver Collection" a reprint of a 1983 story.
Two other issues are available but were sold out at my WHSmith shop.
Rating: 3 Stars for both Commando Comics
Commando Comics are available from: www.commandocomics.com
Comic of the week has to be 2000AD prog 2233 a "Regened" edition aimed at all-ages readers which given the comic does have a lot of Teen + content is a good idea and helps prepare new readers for the future as well as entertaining old gits like me!
There are five very good self contained stories in this issue Cadet Dredd: Lawbreaker sees Joe break the law.....a tragedy unfolds for the future. There's an amusing Future Shocks as mankind sends a robot into the Solar System to search for life. Seems social media makes us look just savage....
Judge Anderson faces off an alien invasion and Pandora gets more than she bargains for when she tries nicking some stuffed animals. meanwhile Department K continue their multidimensional journey from the last Regened issue.
Did I mention Ant & Dec appear as perps in this issue! Worth picking up if you don't subscribe.

Finally just the one American comic this week. I have a soft spot for Archie comics and have a couple of comics featuring the Riverdale friends as superheroes from way back. What with Archie attempting to revamp it's Superhero-line (despite the worst attempts of Rob Liefeld) with a mini-series starting wit The Shield I couldn't resist this old style comic.
