Simon Spurrier seems to have left 2000 AD too. I think his last 2000
AD story was Chiaroscuro? I think so. He wrote some Angel Gang stories
for the JD Meg. I hope he's gone. I think he's the worst 2000 AD
writer of all time! LOL No offence meant, of course. I challenge
anyone to read his 'Harry Kipling' stories and understand the
dialogue! Self-indulgent gibberish.
Sounds like most of my post here. LOL
