With 127 reviews now up (where has that time gone??), thought I'd point people in the direction of the recently-updated Indexes on the site.

This page has the posts in "chronological" order by the first story in each collection: https://thrillshots.wordpress.com/index-by-publication-date/

This lists the Dredd Mega Collection in Volume order: https://thrillshots.wordpress.com/index-by-mega-collection-2/

This lists the 2000 AD Ultimate Collection in Volume order: https://thrillshots.wordpress.com/index-by-ultimate-collection/

Very kind of you to say Alex - thank you! I've loved the Dredd Epics Ranked blog by the way, I can't believe it's wrapped up already!

A long time since I've posted anything here! I've just been enjoying reading and writing, but given I've just passed the two-year and 100 reviews milestone I thought I'd quickly pop back in for an update.

I've reached the end of 1996 in this sort-of chronological march through the Hachette collections. For those of you stuck in yet another lockdown, there's a lot of 2000 AD reading there for you!

Hope you're all doing OK and best wishes from Australia.
