Now back to dreaming of hardcover annuals also returning...

There's a number of trades coming out in hardback this year, so who knows?  I'd certainly buy one.

Really hope it takes off, would be great to have it as an annual event!   

Annual love it!

They should include the name in the footage somewhere so people know what it's called.

This guy sells scanned copies of old Fleetway titles (and lots more besides) as PDFs on disk or memory stick.

He's selling a digital Action, Starlord and Tornado collection and his free downloads include a copy of Starlord with Ro-busters and Strontium Dog in it.

Nah, you're thinking of Captain Klep!

Hover bricks!

Yes, I noticed in the last one they said the first prototype would go on show at Comic Con.  It seems a bit contradictory to the ad in the FCBD prog, which says you can see details on their website as of now.  Perhaps the dates slipped, but it does seem their marketing effort is a little confused.

Ditto!

These are just brilliant, Ming!

I cannot wait to buy these.

It's a fantastic idea.  I'm looking forward to seeing an Ezquerra Dredd, Bolland Dredd, etc etc!

I think the idea was to announce it (or sneak previewing what they're doing) in the Free Comic Book Day prog, which is why it isn't on their website.

The ad says "Find out more about this stunning range by visiting www.planetreplicas.com", which is pretty clear.

Perhaps it's just because it's the weekend and we'll see something on Monday.  Otherwise it's rather odd to expressly direct people to your website for information and then leave them to draw a blank when they get there.

Here's an interesting advert from inside this very Freebie!

I started a thread for this, though I left out the details so as not to spoil it: http://forums.2000adonline.com/index.php/topic,40466.msg824418.html#msg824418

I also thought the one page strip at the end was very reminiscent of those funny Future Shocks from years back, this was Henry Flint and Annie Parkhouse. I would've loved the reveal to be on another page though, as I couldn't help but take in the whole page as I flicked through.

Very reminiscent of [spoiler]the space fleet eaten by a small dog in Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy[/spoiler], though with a rather disgusting twist.

I've got my FCBD prog... I've seen the advert... come on Planet Replicas, update your website!
