I'm back in the Betsey Trotwood pub on a warm London day with some gentle Jazz in the background to meet up with Alex Frith and chat about some great science fiction from Dan Abnett and INJ Culbard. Check out Alex's work on the Heroes of 2000AD blog, and on his amazon author page.
You can find a list of episodes so far and all the upcoming books on the Facebook page, follow the podcast on Twitter, or email me comments and suggestions to MCBCpodcast@gmail.com

Good discussion on 'Brink'- agree wholeheartedly with your comments. In fact i think it may be the first time 2000ad has successfully done a proper hard-sf outer-space set strip, regardless of the genre-bending hints. I do think that the design elements of the strip are interesting- the hard-SF look and colour pallets hearken back to lots of late 60s/70s SF like Space 1999, Silent Running etc.

Cheers, Nathan. Absolutely agree about the 70s sci-fi appeal of Brink.
