General / Digest vs TPB. Why so small?
20 November, 2018, 09:35:29 PM
Hi all,

Thought I'd make my first post to ask if I'm in a minority of one, or if anyone else doesn't like the new 'Digest' size collected Dredds.

I haven't kept that up-to-date with the latest GN novel releases but when I heard Mandroid was coming out, I thought I'd get it straight away - only to discover it was a poxy Digest size. I missed that it had been released as a TPB back in 2007, but I went out of my way to pick up a 2nd-hand copy of that edition anyway because bigger is better right?

Anyway, now I hear that the next collected GN, Judge Dredd: Ghost Town, is only going to be released in the Digest size. Well, sod that. The standard Case File sized books are already smaller than the actual Prog, why is Rebellion shrinking them even more? Even the Meg floppies are bigger than that.

What with there being a 15 year wait between Prog and Case File release, I'm going to have to start thinking about getting some Progs printed and bound myself, 'cos I'm not interested in pocket sized collections.

Am I missing something? Is Ghost Town coming out as TPB first, or are Rebellion telling us that there isn't any money in the collected novels any more?
