Desolation Issue 2

[chrisl]

Hope everyone has enjoyed reading issue 2. I've still got a few copies of both issues left if anyone still wants them.

[Pinwig]

I certainly did. I got issue one back out and read them together. Top job!

I really appreciate that

It's in my to-read pile!

[Andy Turnbull]

Likewise.

[Pinwig]

I will openly admit to giving the cover a little stroke every now and again.

Just because, you know.

If there is anyone who still wants a copy, I've got several of issues 1 and 2 available from: Here.

I think it should be ko-fi.com/tfdesolation/shop

Chris had a space between the end of the url and the close quotes in his BBCode. Fixed now

Just finished reading this issue and am again blown away by both the quality of content and production. I've said it before (and will keep saying it when it's justified and deserved) that it's such a joy to see how far TMUk fanzines have progressed into such professional looking printed magazines.

The art in the main strip by Chris and Ben is absolutely spot on. The characters all look as they should and are instantly recognizable.
Speaking of the characters,it's fun seeing the Breastforce command structure changed for this mission and how Leozack is (trying his best) to cope with it. Looking forward to next issue to find out if their ship exploded because of the upcoming battle with the space octopus heads or because they went and formed Leokaiser inside a small room! (We all know how big Japanese getsalts like to be illustrated...)
Main strip, is again, complimented and backed up with lots of interesting articles. It brings back memories reading about the old Victory Saga zine (again, ahead of bits time back in the '90's) and having recently dug my copies out, it was nice to compare. Looking forward to finding out more about this CG2 thingy next issue. (Be kind)
Victory cartoon reviews cover one if my favourite episodes (Leozack Attack). One of the most unique and compelling ideas in this series is that a (very big) giant robot space rocket has adopted a child and is now taking him to his first day at school. Love the scene of hom chatting to the headmistress.
Really looking forward to the next issue and high praise to you Chris, for keeping TMUK fanzines in print.

Massive thanks for your kind word Matt, I really appreciate them. Glad to see that you enjoyed reading the fanzine. I will run the CG2 feature past you one I've written it - but it will definitely be a positive take.

My copy finally arrived today, hand delivered by the guy to whom it was misdelivered a month or so ago!
I'm looking forward to diving in when I get a spot of time.

Enjoyed reading #1 this morning. Nice set up in the story, good to see some proper characterisation coming through and looking forward to #2.

No no, you had the right address! The postie just was having a bit of a wobble, I guess...
