 OAFE - ML12: Bishop review
Bishop was one of those figures many had been clamoring for since the early days of Marvel Legends.
Bishop's trademark "M" tattoo over his right eye is a painted design rather than a sculpted element, and while that makes sense as a tattoo, the fuzzy gray used on the tattoo causes it to almost get lost in all the detail of the figure.
In addition to the weapons, Bishop gets a comicbook with a forgettable story about him being tragically trapped in the past (what else is new?), and a piece of this series' "Build-A-Figure" character, which is a 13" tall Apocalypse.

 Amazon.com: Count Geiger's Blues: A Comedy: Books: Michael Bishop   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Bishop consistently grapples with significant issues in his novels, and Thaxton's struggle to redefine his values while at war with his body is no exception.
Though always amusing and stylish, Bishop's novels, perhaps as a result of their bittersweet story lines and dependence on strong character development, have failed to catch on with a larger audience.
Bishop takes a cast of highly improbably characters who are suspiciously like people you know and tells a wonderfully entertaining and human story about the nature of heroism and duty.

There are a lot of interesting things here, such as Bishop finding a role for himself as the leader of an army, or the continuing development of Fitzroy and Shard, but for the most part, I`m ready for the big confrontation to get over with and hopefully make a big change in this series.

 The Comics Reporter   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Tom Frame, whose distinct lettering for decades on the Judge Dredd series in 2000AD made him a largely unsung but vital part of a cultural phenomenon and allowed him a platform for one of the most unique contributions in the crafting of comics in the last 30 years, passed away on July 14.
Frame's unique approach to lettering, both rough and imposing, was as much a visual signifier of the Dredd series as the character's costume or rich background illustration.
Bishop remembers his longtime workmate as a "kind-hearted grouch" and notes his contributions to the early coloring of the 2000 AD covers and center spread.
