Long time listener first time poster
The body is a story I fondly remember as it first showed in the uk a week after my grandmother died...I felt the pain the scoobies felt and it made it so much more real for me...
As for angels future episodes without spoiling anything for those who may listen to this without watching the episodes (do those people exist?) they really pissed all the potential of these past few episodes (well minus those two diabolical filler episodes you covered last time) down the drain with the later half of the series didn't they?

On a 2000ad fansite I do a regular column on the fantastic Nikolai Dante comic book serial. I posted on the episode 545 thread a complete list of episodes which covered the series up to the utterly impossible to get third graphic novel collection. Here it is again for posterity.

Theres only two times I have considered quitting comics. First time was 90s 2000ad during the era where the so called superstar writers Grant Morrison and Mark Millar were doing their best to ruin the comic. This one suceeded and I only came back to 2000ad in 2005 thanks to a series of articles called thrill power overload in the judge Dredd megazine which chronicled the history of the comic
Second time is the new 52...I have tried I really have but I now only buy four dc comics now after getting over 25 at the start of the new 52. This one is a wait and see

Courtship of Jena Markarov (the third trade) in perticular is so important to the series yet so hard to get it I've seen it go for about 80 pounds uk sometimes on ebay. Despite owning the original comics for the series of Articles I mentioned in my first post I went and bought up the trades I was missing. If I recall it was Sword of the tsar onwards and getting some of those was a pain in the uk so god knows how America would fare.
About those series of Articles. I am quite proud of them as both Simon Fraser and former editor David bishop has helped and encouraged me to go onwards with it. I made a link today on my blog to all of them so far (I've gotten to the end of the third trade) I would like to warn that if you do read them there are story spoilers all over the place due to the nature of them.

Andreas was always a favourite as well. It was kinda neat how out of all the assholes in the romanovs there was at least one who was almost exactly like Nikolai himself. Its so hard to talk about some things without spoiling the wonderful story. Arkady while being a nasty little berk had one of the better storyarcs going from a bitter young guy who was pissed at Dante for taking something which belonged to him to the man he eventually became.
Viktor is impossible to talk about hes the other Romanov who had a hell of a journey during the series.

Regular listener, first time poster. Thank you for covering Nikolai Dante. Its my favourite series to the point I post a series of articles on it on a 2000ad fansite. Its such an epic series and it builds its supporting cast so well that it can tear you apart inside when terrible sad things begin to happen to them. My personal favourite supporting character (who was introduced in the first trade at least) Is LuLu Romanov.
Thanks again and keep up the excellent work!
Happy Birthday to Dave Page aka Shining Knight
