If I recall, the opening montage of the movie Soldier, with Kurt Russell, gives massive Rogue Trooper vibes.

I might have to pull the trigger on that Atavar collection. I remember it very fondly. Sublime creature designs. A story that doesn't outstay its welcome, and as a result runs the risk of being lost in the shuffle of 2000AD's highlights and big hitters. Madness that all 3 (is it 3?) books have never been collected before. I think a Sunday afternoon with this collection, a cup of tea and a Belgian bun is something I'm greatly looking forward to.

Can I really justify buying Nemesis on yet another format?

Do we think the upcoming inclusion of Torture Garden in this collection is the reason it only got a digital only release from Rebellion, or do we think there will be more and more digital only collections in the future?

I don't read Private Eye, but that sounds like the ticket. Thanks SBT.

This feels like something which is going over my head and it's driving me a little bonkers.
The strip NAKKA of the S.T.A.R.S. in the prog currently - every time I read the title it screams at me that it's a pun on something, but I can never grasp it. Can anyone put me out of my misery?

Mine arrived yesterday and they were well worth the (by now) triple dip. The inclusion of the two Diceman stories are really welcome as I've never read them. And as mentioned above, 'Torquemada's Second Honeymoon being in colour is a huge plus.
Another colour question though: did 'Torquemurder' have double pages in colour originally as this entire book here is B&W.

Matt Berry as Dante himself obvs

What a wonderful gesture to come home to! I've ordered those two volumes of the Daily Dredds that I've been eyeing for ages. I'm a happy Squaxx!

It's a fun game but it's brutal. My partner and I have played a few co-op games and always succumb to the horrors of the Cursed Earth. We're considering tweaking the rules a little: ignoring the location card instructions and amending the psi ability a little. Added bonus: she's reading The Cursed Earth trade.

second only to Dredd for number of episodes in the prog.

Is this true? Good lord this madness has to end. I mean the strip itself has had about three perfectly serviceable endings. Is it just the comic's need for material coupled with Abnett's seeming ability to keep churning out content that's led us to this? I also understand some people like it 😂

It's almost as if no real planning went into anything post DOC.

With the publication of The Horned God as the first edition of this Ultimate Collection I've been taking the opportunity to read through my Slaine collection from the beginning.

I first turned to the Best of 2000ad Monthly for the earlier stories, and somewhere along the line my girlfriend – who is a complete comic refusenik – kept glancing it over my shoulder and I ended up reading the sagas to her. She picked up where I was at with the monthlies, then I turned to the new Horned God collection and thence to the progs.

We were into book 2 of The Book of Invasions when this new Slaine volume became available, so we've taken a break to go back to the start so we can fill her in on the stuff she missed before she jumped aboard.

Heavens to Bestsy if there aren't some stories – one off episodes and such – that I'd never read before! This is the very definition of value for money for this old Squax.

Now I need to know how well those cookies went with the coffee.

Atavar. Yes. Very much yes.
