Oh fuck though, Bison! I remember reading the first episode and laughing away. I thought it was a comedy taking the piss out of every action movie cliche going and was waiting for some kind of clever fourth wall element to kick in.

I reckon it might be 2000AD's worst strip ever, and that's saying something...

The artwork is, umm, competent.

Cheers!

Well I'll restrict my thoughts on Bison here rather than start a new thread. It was pretty bad, not THAT bad (well aside from the first episode which has hideous) but pretty damned bad. Terribledly cliched and strangely un2000ad (see what I said about 13 to see what I mean by that, if you really care!).

Mind echo what Jim said the art was ok.

add an in to that...

Seriously this story still gets up my arse almost eight years later. The writing is cliched and hackneyed. The art is piss poor (seriously look at those head shots) I am still surprised that the writers got another shot after this and even then we know what fetid abomination they created next.

At least with tony Lee I knew how good of a writer he was before stalag 666

Bison was just terrible

god its pissing me off typing about it now

I know I’m going to regret this, but… remind me?
