Thought this was the strongest regene so far. Particularly liked S-Club Rogue Trooper. More of that, please.

This is a very lovely book. The repro on The Two Torquemada's is a bit muddy in places but I'm guessing that's to do with the quality of whatever source material they had to use. The colour O'Neil stuff looks fantastic.
I think this must by now be the equivalent of buying an album on vinyl when it first came out, then upgrading to CD, remastered CD, remastered vinyl and then a collectors box set (having sold and then rebought the original vinyl at some point) and having it on mp3.
One thing that does stick out is not updating the creator biographies to acknowledge John Hincklenton and Tony Luke having died.

Classifieds / eBay Pimpage: Jock Dredd Print/Boo Cook UC Print and other stuff
« on: 06 December, 2020, 09:33:50 AM »
A shameless plug for a few eBay auctions I've got, ending tonight.
I've reluctantly accepted that Mrs oshii isn't going to change her mind and let me have 2000AD prints on the wall (she's agreed to a page of original art, and that's as far as it's going to go apparently) so these should go to somewhere where their full thrill powered glory can be displayed
https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/oshii71/m.html?item=274591362060&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2562
I'm selling:
Jock's Mondo Dredd print (don't even want to think about what I paid to get it originally)
Print of Boo Cook's spine art for the Ultimate Collection
The Tula Lotay Death/ Anderson print.
I'm also umming and ahhing about my Zenith omnibus, as I've now got the individual hardbacks. It's still in the shrinkwrap.

Biggest thing for me was them putting the dimensions on! When I'm treble (or is it quad with Nemesis) dipping, I want to know that the books are going to look nice and be the same size
Note for collectors: the dimensions of these books—approx. 21cm × 28cm—is about the same as the Fall of Deadworld volumes, and a similar height to oversized hardcovers from other publishers that you might have in your collection.

Those are a little out of my price range unfortunately. Will keep looking though.

Off Topic / Re: Large Tablet for reading comics - Surface Pro?
« on: 29 June, 2020, 02:07:17 PM »
I've very recently bought a Surface Pro 7, and it's all been pretty positive so far.
I use Cover as an app, and it's fine - although I only read the prog on it. I don't really get any other comics these days.
In the past I had an ipad with comic zeal, which was a better app, but the Surface ticked the most boxes for me, for what I needed a device to do this time round

« on: 26 June, 2020, 01:02:36 PM »
I don't go along with the "reprints were always part of a summer special/annual". Thirty years ago, in the IPC days maybe, but it's a very different landscape now, and not something Rebellion have done before.
I get the reasoning for it here, and I think the curation theme works, but 8 quid is really stretching what I can spend on a single 2000AD, (even if it had been all new)
That said, the new stuff that's there is really really good. Al Ewing is just sublime on Dredd. Please get him to do more. And total hat doff to Jake Lynch for not making me miss Henry Flint - no easy ask.
