Same here. Sometimes, these things show up locally, but not always. And at that price AND with free shipping, it heads to total no-brainier territory. Plus I don’t have to find a local comic shop that will actually get the Villains special in. (That might sound harsh, but the nearest place to here that does FCBD takes me ~40 mins to get to, costs £4 in parking, and last time only got in one copy of 2000 AD and suggested I be “first in line”.)

To be fair, they all ran with the funny tinge thing, too.  Wait I meant they did the opposite of that.

Not sure what you mean there, but it was a top story on The Guardian this morning.

There are tweets he posted doing the rounds.

The original solicitation was HC, which is probably why Amazon still has that listed.

Argh. Deadworld’s switched formats. I do hope there’s a limited hardback available on the store, to match the first volume.

Right now, his anti-semitic comments especially aren’t a good look for the party.

Still, at least they haven’t readmited Derek Hatton, because that would be really stupid.

I was told my 39 and 40 were to be dispatched on the 12th. No account activity, unsurprisingly, mind.

You'd hope that was a joke. I can't imagine strontium71 is really going to chuck a piece of comics history in the trash.

Oops. Well, in that case the Prog would come as part of the sub. The ROTR thinking stands.

My guess: the 99p special is a comic-store-only thing (to tie into FCBD) and ROTR alone would add 50% to the bundle price. How many people who think "six specials for 20 quid – done!" wouldn't be so excited about seven for 30?

A proper big slab of news today, with a whopping EIGHT new Rebellion specials over the next seven months. Six of them are available in a bundle, which seems quite the bargain. 20 quid for all six (saving six quid), free shipping, and sent as and when they're released.

You can order the 2019 specials bundle from the 2000 AD shop.

Another Sláine book. Hachette didn't think it too many.

(I wonder if they'll reissue the books with the messed-up end papers. I know they asked people to respond to them about that, and therefore may avoid reissuing on the basis that hardly anyone bothered.)
