Judge Dredd: The Mega Collection discussion thread

We're these your first subscription issues?

Yes; started my sub with #4.

I think that makes you first in the queue for 4&5 as the rest of us only get one delivery per month. Does shamballa have any extras?

[IronGraham]

It has a hefty article written by Molcher

[Arkwright99]

The extras are a gallery (3 covers) and a 5-page essay by Michael Molcher. Matt Smith also reveals the title of Mega Collection Volume 8 in his introduction [spoiler]'The Possessed'[/spoiler] along with the creative teams involved in the stories [spoiler]John Wagner & Alan Grant, Brett Ewins, Cliff Robinson & Barry Kitson[/spoiler] so we can probably guess the contents of that issue.

Thanks for that. Is Shamballa number 10 or 9 on the spine then? I'm glad there's text by Molcher. I think these pieces and the podcast help to see these works in context and with fresh eyes.

[IronGraham]

it's number 10

[robert_ellis]

Cheers - guess we can look forward to 4 or more Anderson volumes.

It'll be this book? http://www.2000adonline.com/books/judge_anderson_anderson_psi_division.php [spoiler]Four Dark Judges/Revenge, The Possessed, Hour of the Wolf...[/spoiler] and what more?

Any ideas on how well this is doing? It is spreading thrill power around my workplace that's for sure. Z

I'm not sure how long I will stick with this, books are lovely, spine numbers are in no particular order. 1 was great, certainly as easy as just picking it up in the shops. 2 & 3 along with the badge turned up, but was too big to be posted & so had to go & pick up from post office. 3 was damaged (perhaps by the shrink wrap), I emailed customer service & asked what the next 3 books are going to be, to which they replied 4, 5 & 6 - helpful I thought  Now seen they're Anderson & then Origins (not sure how many copies I'll need of this) & looking forward to Mandroid.

Anyone know what's due to come along after those?

3 was damaged

As was mine. I mentioned this to Hachette and had a pristine replacement four days later.

As for upcoming books, I've thought about this and I don't really want a full list. I like not really knowing what's coming, and I can't imagine Matt Smith's going to push any crap on us (Volume 22: Sonny Steelgrave's Greatest Hits!).

Cup, badge, coaters, and numbers 4 & 5 all arrived today, while the long wait for 2 & 3 continue!

They are things of beauty though!
