Yeah same here, pleasantly surprised as I wasn't expecting them so soon.

Just devoured Zaucer in preparation for his reapperance in the prog this week; it's all kinds of bonkers in the best possible way.

Been reading Sooner Or Later, and after this election, having someone take the piss out of them was really what I needed. And their system's much better

I picked up the latest issue and once again the art on the spine is slightly off, this seems to be happening more and more these days.

Which issue are you considering latest, Invasion or vol 1 of Slaine Book of Invasions?
It's mildly ambiguous because many of us subscribers are a month or more behind the shops for "reasons" and only just got Invasion. I haven't even checked the spines line up for Invasion and Hewligan yet as I've not had a chance to read them (currently on holiday and decided to take novels rather than comics as it's more hours of reading for less weight).

When I said the latest issue I was talking about Slaine: Books Of Invasions, volume 1. But the spine for my copy of Invasion was slightly wrong too, Hewligans Haircut was fine.

Ahhh so they outsource their customer service, that explains why the people you speak to know fuck all about anything and don't seem to really give much of a fuck.

I've been meaning to update my address so good timing with new contact team. Sent them an email yesterday and they said updated today.

Googled the company address and looks like they also do Customer Service for Eaglemoss.

My experience with Eaglemoss customer services is pretty good. Be prepared for long holds with Ed Sheran on the telephone though.

I don't know what is up with this collection but I haven't been charged since October and haven't had anything since no 50.  What is going on? To receive my last 8 copies I've had to badger them and got them in batches of 4. I had zero problems with the judge Dredd collection but this one has been constantly a problem.

Thoughts on recent volumes:

Invasion started really strong, it got to be a bit repetative towards the middle but picked up again for the ending. Some of the reproduction felt overly heavy on the blacks - there were a few panels where nearly all the detail had been lost which was a shame. I'm guessing the original art is long gone and this is being reprinted from scans of earlier reprints and this was the best they could muster. Looking forwards to seeing where Pat takes this story when Savage returns in the summer.

Hewligan's Haircut on the other hand was a great change of pace from the other books in the collection. Sooner Or Later and Zaucer were the highlights for me; Swifty's Return felt like it just didn't quite live up high standard set by Sooner or Later and at times Hewligan seemed to be trying a little bit too hard to be wacky (loved the ending though). The art was great throughout though and really sold the bonkers story ideas. The only let down in this volume was the Future Shocks at the end which were all a bit meh. I wonder if we'll get the current run of Zaucer in one of the extension volumes? Are there some suitable bits it could be paired up with?
