Pretty sure he didn't rule out some kind of non-limited edition in the future, though. Maybe not a softcover version of THIS edition, but four soft covers covering each phase...?

Fair enough, I may well be mistaken in my interpretation - I took his reply as effectively being 'that's Zenith done with now.'

Have those that have been delivered so far all been Yodel? If so, mine's never going to be delivered; they've never delivered anything successfully to me (with the exception of one graphic novel that they removed from the box and folded in order to force through the letterbox!)  >:(

That's crazy, did you obtain compensation for that? They usually just leave my stuff in the shed. Or sometimes the recycling bin.

Amazon replaced it (and sent it with Royal Mail). They left something in the bin for a friend of mine, he almost dumped his rubbish on it!

No sign of my copy yesterday but I'm sure it will arrive today.

Oh god, don't talk to me about Yodel!!  Worst possible service ever.  I complained to Amazon so many times about them, who did nothing.  Late deliveries, leaflets saying left with a neighbour, but not saying which one, bashed, damaged packaging, parcels left leaning against door in the rain, I mean FFS!!!

In the end I cancelled my Amazon Prime membership (everything 'next day' was sent via Yodel), and went back to good old supersaver delivery.

I imagine it'll largely come down to legal advice regarding distribution. There's no sense in Rebellion moving forward with other editions if distributors won't carry them for fear of legal action. However, if that's no longer a problem, Rebellion would be mad to not cash in on the story, given that the audience would be reasonably large (although, I suspect, not quite as large as some people might think—this isn't Watchmen).

My guess: Phase I to show up at the tail end of 2014/early 2015, for about 15 quid in paperback, with a bunch of extras on the creation of the character.

We had Prime here for a year. What a waste of money it was. One Christmas I ordered two Kindles, which were sent via standard Royal Mail. By contrast, a DVD was sent next-day courier. Amazon argued it sent items by "the most appropriate method"; untraceable, untrackable Royal Mail for expensive tech devices, near to Christmas, when our local Royal Mail depots were (not officially, of course) 'stacking' mail deliveries (i.e. letting mail build up and delivering in batches—confirmed off the record to me by an employee)? Nice.

Fortunately, everything arrived in one suspiciously large sack of goodies on the 23rd, but never again.

This is why I was wondering what normal numbers for 2000ad gn's are, let alone something that should have a wider appeal like an available version of Zenith. What are the numbers like for something like the The Best of Milligan & McCarthy?
What size are the markets these days? After all Zenith took a few days to actually sell out after all.

Finished reading my copy yesterday, brilliant stuff!!! Ranks among Nikolai Dante & Cradlegrave as as one of 2000AD's best works!!!!

HA! We had similar experience with our trial of prime last xmas too - we had books that cost around £1 mark come via courrier (singularly - as in a courrier would turn up with a book that cost a £1) and the £170 kindle paperwhite was delivered standard royal mail through the letterbox.

That Amazon Prime must leave an awful eco footprint behind, we didn't renew Prime either. Totally wastefull. If I really must have something ASAP I'll pay for it individually.

loveforstitch - Does he fall in love? I like a little romance in all my movies.

Rekaert - Yes, he demonstrates it with bullets, punches and sentencing.

He's Mega City 1's own Don Juan.

Mine has arrived, number 462. Kindly left on the doorstep where I almost missed it on the way in. It looks lovely, so I'd like to say well done to the design team as they did a fantastic job.

Surely it went to the delivery address you specified on the order?
