About the author
Ian Edginton
798 books148 followersEdginton sees part of the key to his success coming from good relationships with artists, especially D'Israeli and Steve Yeowell as well as Steve Pugh and Mike Collins. He is best known for his steampunk/alternative history work (often with the artist D'Israeli) and is the co-creator of Scarlet Traces, a sequel to their adaptation of H.G. Wells' The War of the Worlds. With 2000 AD we has written Leviathan, Stickleback and, with art by Steve Yeowell, The Red Seas as well as one-off serials such as American Gothic (2005).
His stories often have a torturous gestation. Scarlet Traces was an idea he had when first reading The War of the Worlds, its first few instalments appeared on Cool Beans website, before being serialised in the Judge Dredd Megazine. Also The Red Seas was initially going to be drawn by Phil Winslade and be the final release by Epic but Winslade was still tied up with Goddess and when ideas for replacement artists were rejected Epic was finally wound up - the series only re-emerging when Edginton was pitching ideas to Matt Smith at the start of his 2000 AD career.
With D'Israeli he has created a number of new series including Stickleback, a tale of a strange villain in an alternative Victorian London, and Gothic, which he describes as "Mary Shelley's Doc Savage". With Simon Davis he recently worked on a survival horror series, Stone Island, and he has also produced a comic version of the computer game Hellgate: London with Steve Pugh.
He is currently working on a dinosaurs and cowboys story called Sixgun Logic. Also as part of Top Cow's Pilot Season he has written an Angelus one-shot.

In this issue, most of the continuing stories reach a conclusion, albeit with the main characters left alive for the next yarn. Judge Lola is possessed by an alien spirit that intends to let its companions take over other bodies and only Judge Dredd and Judge Lamia can stop it. This is the conclusion and there’s a little twist at the end. At least the Dredd story had some intelligence. Bad Company: Terrorists (part 12)is a lot of grotesque people beating the shit out of each other and ABC Warriors: Fallout (part 12) is a lot of big robots beating the shit out of each other but with better art. Both stories have open endings with scope for the series to continue so they can carry on beating the shit out of each other for years to come. There was at least some hint of tragedy in Bad Company, some notion that a life dedicated to ongoing war is not a good thing.
There’s a Future Shock titled ‘Sunday Scientist’. Doctor Wendy Farrugia, heavily pregnant, is sacked from her university research job for secretive behaviour despite her protestations that her research into bio-diesel will save the planet. She believes the bosses are trying to get in first with her discovery. If the ending implies what I think it does, it’s pretty grotesque for a female writer but black humour is a 2000 AD thing. Script by Laura Bailey and art by Paul Williams.
This run of Brass Sun also ‘concluded’ with more to follow. Although I’ll never love Inj Culbard’s simple art I don’t actively dislike it and the script by Ian Edginton showed a touch of humanity - from a plant - that the magazine could use more of. Macho warriors breast-beating and making wisecracks can only be amusing for a limited time even if the art is gorgeous.
I look forward to the next issue and new beginnings.
