See I'm not really sure what you mean of the IDW run. I own the six Rebellion Rogue trades, 86ers and Extreme Editions Cinnibar. I'm a bit spotty on the rest.

Anyway, only part way through Nikolai Dante book 2 and this is far superior, the humour is a bit more subtle and even characters like Andreas are interesting.

Seriously everytime a new volume of the Dante from the Ultimate Collections land so my door matt (still to pick one up in the shops as this time WH Smith is closed in Sheffield (having to move home) and I didn't want to risk it, the world feels a better place.

Christ these books are wonderful!

I'm talking about this, which was IDW's own and very short-lived take on Rogue Trooper. You may also like the fourth Tales book, which compiles Cinnebar and all the Rennie tales. War Machine is the other take – the start of Fr1day (which also should have been its end).

I'm guessing we won't get either of those in the 2000ad collection then?

I thought that first one was just a reprint of an earlier book to be honest with a different cover.  For instance, my Harlem Heroes trade has a different cover from another print edition.

Of those, the IDW content definitely won't be in there, because it's not owned by Rebellion. Some of the other stuff might. It depends on the direction Matt Smith has decided to take with his strip. Is he going for the classic era, more recent stuff, or a mix of the two? We'll find out soon enough. (Personally, I'd like to see a 'best of' the traitor general search arc, Cinnebar, War Machine, and some Rennie Rogue.)

Subs box is here - silver bookends included. They are taller and possibly made of stronger material than the Dredd ones. They certainly will be stronger since the cutouts to the Dredd ones made them almost totally useless.

Also there's a letter about these Decade-Themed Covers Gallery books - there will be four, one for each decade the prog has been running and the first to come with next month's delivery.

You will need to opt out via email or phone if you don't want the book. They cost £14.99.

No indication here if they will be available to non-subscribers, although it says "exclusive subscriber price" so its possible they will simply be more expensive for anyone else who wants one.

Iconic cover. My guess is this will include everything up to and including All Hell on the Dix-I Front.
Nearly right, it has all Rogue strips up to Assassination Run.

ABC Warriors Vol 1 goes up to Prog 566 and the wholly ironic panel "There Will Be No More Delays"

Any idea if that's £14.99 for all 4 books or £14.99 per single book - as £15 for one 64pg book seems pretty pricey compared to the standard price of an issue.

Both odd and rather impressive that we still don't know what Issue 15 will be, given that we know what the following five are.

Hmmm, I haven't had the Robohunter and Nicolai Dante books arrive yet...

I'm pretty sure that will be £14.99 per book. I may be missing something but where did you get 64 pages in each from?
Given that each decade would have something like 500 or so issues to choose from... I would expect them to be bigger than that.

wouldn't it be nice to have a proper surprise in there. I feel its due another 'new' book.

Yes for sure on that price - sorry for not being clear in my original post.
Re 64 pages, it says that in the letter too.
Here's a reminder of what it looks like from Steve White's twitter post that spoilt the whole thing.

That does look slim.
Fair enough.
I'm still having it!  :D

Knew it'd turn up whilst I was away on holiday - back on Monday though so hopefully the parcel should still be waiting for me at the local post office.
