As someone who has only been on the 2000Ad bandwagon since last Christmas I have to say the freebies are very welcome-I probably won't have read the material and as others have said they help justify the hefty price of the meg. Even then I must confess I am not a regular reader.

I get the increasing impression on here that meg readers are a minority of the overall constituency-when i first joined i thought 66% that bought the prog also picked up the meg. What is the situation as a matter of interest?

I wish you guys would quit binning the floppies.  Set them to one side and drop a few at the children's ward of a local hospital instead.

The floppy is the best thing about the Meg. I only buy it for the floppy.

I am a bit disappointed that Finn was started and then halted :-( I really ejoyed re reading this and would like to see the whole thing reprinted!

Personally, I would prefer if the Extreme Edition returned as well. There is some great stuff that I would love to see reprinted which is unlikely to get the GN treatment (Armoured Gideon for example).

Long live the floppy!

Just finished 331 and thought the "Disaster 1999" floppy was good dumb fun. The Megazine was a good read too. I think you get a lot of content for the £5.60 coverprice.

Yeah but they did a "Vol.1" with Downlode Tales as well - I presume they'll pick Finn up again later!

If anyone has floppies that they want to get rid of PM me I would gladly take them off your hands and have loads to trade (and could even flash a few creeds).

I have been a subscriber this year, but before that I missed the Strontium Dogs reprints, the Samantha Slade and the Carl Critchlow Flesh Reprints (I prob missed a few others that would interest me too so let me know what you want rid of).

Cheers!

I really enjoy the floppies and have kept the best ones. Some I've never read before, some are a nostalgic reminder. I would love to see Firekind in there if there's never going to be a tpb version.

They're a great opportunity to see stuff you wouldn't otherwise get a look at.

Support your Meg, good people!

Seeing as it looks unlikely Red Seas is ever going to get collected in a tpb, could we have a few floppies worth of that?
