Looking at the planned strips to be reprinted in the 2000ad collection, I'm a bit disappointed.
I mean, I appreciate that it's the cream of the crop, but the entire run seems to be made up of stories that are already easily available in collected format, and that I already have, sometimes multiple volumes due to them being printed by Titan and Rebellion in graphic novel collections.
The great thing about the Mega Collection is that a lot of Dredd World stories, particularly those that appeared in the Megazine, that had not seen reprint in a graphic novel collection, saw print in this series.
Now, I get that they are looking to get the most popular and iconic stories out there, but I already have three separate collections of Nemesis, three of ABC Warriors, three of Ro-Busters and two of Slaine, on my bookshelf.
It would have been nice to finally see collections of:-
Freaks
Night Zero
Bad City Blues
Firekind
Mean Arena
Silo
Rose O'Rion
Synnamon
Dash Descent
Big Dave
Finn
The Dead
Slaughterbowl
Tyranny Rex (perhaps coupled with Hap Hazzard?)
Heroes Of Harlem (Steve Dillon version)
And I know that they are crap, but their is some gorgeous artwork by the likes of Ron Smith, Will Simpson and Casanovas that goes uncollected because everybody hates the writing in the Rogue Trooper and Robo Hunter reboots.
And I'm leaving out the crap stuff like Junker, which I'd still like a collection of for John Ridgeways art.
I know some of these were reprinted as floppies in the Megazine, but I'd like them reprinted in a format that I can put on my bookshelf.
I personally feel that this is a real missed opportunity.
