Introducing Kroy Plemons, one of many poor delivery riders for Devourooįrom Portals & Black Goo: Night Shift pAD Prog 2340, art by Eoin Coveney We’ve already talked to Eoin Coveney about it and seen of the fabulous artwork, but now it’s time to chat to John Tomlinson about Portals & Black Goo! At some point, we’ll pin him down to talk in more depth about those illustrious positions, but right here, right now, it’s all about Portals & Black Goo! John, or Automatom-Linson as he was known around these parts, is an integral part of the history of 2000 AD, not only as a writer and creator (of Armoured Gideon, Mercy Heights, and Tor Cyan) but also serving as Tharg’s Earthly representative as editorial assistant droid (Progs 828-914) and editor (Progs 915-977) of 2000 AD, editor of Judge Dredd: Lawman of the Future (issues 13-23) and editor of the Judge Dredd Megazine (issues 3.13-3.21). But of course, in a cutthroat world of food delivery where the customers are hungry for blood, it’s always going to be a nightmare getting the job done. Well, the answer is Devouroo – ‘We Deliver… You Devour.’ Whether it’s bags of fresh plasma for vampires, bloody bones for djinn, or steaming viscera for werewolves, the put-upon scooter riders of Devouroo will bring it to you. But it does it through a lens of a world where the old monsters are living amongst us.Īnd when we have vampires, demons, werewolves, and all manner of old evils living alongside Londoners, just what the hell are they meant to do for food – seeing as the native population is off the menu. Created by John Tomlinson and Eoin Coveney, this one’s a satirical look at modern working, the plight of zero-hours contract work, the never-ending drive for everything to be faster, and the prejudice faced by any and all marginalised groups in our society.
