Forthcoming Thrills - 2020

[sheridan]

we go back to the beginnings of the Judge system in new series "Dreadnoughts."

This new story in the March meg sounds interesting

Yeah, I was wondering about that one - wonder who the creative team will be?  Presumably ties in with Michael Carroll's series of Judges novels (as in Mike is editor if not writer of all the stories).

Have I missed any announcements regarding a new collected volume of Jaeger? Really looking forward to that.

That armours looking a bit non-European to me - either Chinese or Japanese (not an armour expert).

I think it's pretty standard Roman stuff, TBH.

Yep, lorica segmentata* pretty common in the late Republic era I believe

*not the name used by the Romans, it's a later designation used by historians.

Its more early empire and came into being around end BC early AD. Prior to that it was more chain mail. In an actual army you'd have seen great variety in armour but this type became prominent around 30 - 40ad I seem to recall.

I seem to recall Aquilla was originally based in Boudican times around 60ad (62 for your actual rebellion if you ask me) so the armour is pretty much spot on... with my limited knowledge based on reading far too many popular history books about romans!

Edited to add - blooming lovely art by the way.

[Mardroid]

Yeah definitely legitimately Roman. I've seen similar before.

I think I see why Sheridan saw a Japanese influence though. Something to do with the prominent shoulder pieces, I think.

Also not an armour expert.

If Mr Keith Richardson, our esteemed graphic novels editor, is reading this - please could we have a complete run-down of 2020's trade paperback and hardcover releases? (I've seen bits and pieces but the definitive list would be helpful).
Thank you.

We've (dis)covered 90%+ of that list already.  That's pretty good going.

Way to go, us!

If this doesn't leap immediately onto your want list then there is something wrong with you.

Oh excellent - the more Battle the better, but where is The Sarge?

Anyone knows which megazine will come bagged with the Pj Maybe floppy?
