March Previews, for "May" shipping

[Grant Goggans]

Hovistocose has not updated their site yet with the March Previews information, but I would like to mention that I flipped through the issue at the nearby shop and Rebellion has three entries.

The May pack contains progs 1683-1686, stories including:
Dredd vs Mr Ambrose
Zombo's Eleven
Dante: Heroes Be Damned
Ichabod Azrael
Damnation Station
Savage: Crims

Judge Dredd # 298 includes:
Johnny Woo
Lilly Mackenzie
Travels with Muh Shrink in the freebie comic

Rogue Trooper vol 2 is the only solicited book, but that seems to be the only book scheduled that month anyway.

Nothing from Panini, but Titan has a long-awaited solicit: 160 pages of DARKIE'S MOB for $19.95.

I'll follow up with the full listings when Hovistocose updates their site.

Damn it looks like May is going to be another month of classic Progs. I know we haven't seen two of these stories yet but I'm very optimistic that we could once again reach the heights of last year.

Looking forward to Darkie's Mob, hope to get Johnny Red this weekend too.

Okay, here they are:

DARKIES MOB HC
By John Wagner.Artist Mike Western.Cover by Mike Western.

(W) John Wagner (A) Mike Western Gathered in a complete uncensored collection, this is the original, hardhitting war comic story from the pen of Judge Dredd co-creator John Wagner. In the hellish, humid jungles of Burma, renegade Captain Joe Darkie leads a rag-tag squad of British soldiers behind Japanese lines, transforming them into the brutal 'Darkie's Mob.' His squad faced hardship, horror and vicious combat at every turn, as their Captain's mania threatened to engulf them all. How many will die before his bloodlust is finally sated?

Wow! Great that The Talented Mayor Ambrose is getting such a long run!

[Marbles]

Yay! for Darkies Mob at last.

Hopefully it's going to include the lovely sketch of Joe Darkie that Mike Western did for me just before he died. Fingers crossed.

Follow-up... my comic shop did not receive this pack.  I'm curious whether any American readers got it through Diamond.
