Forthcoming Thrills - 2020

[IndigoPrime]

I noticed that the Cor!! Buster Bumper Fun Book is now scheduled for a 24th of November release

Amazon seems to confirm a late-Nov release. If so: good.

One day I'm sure we will hear the whole story of these Plague Months and the hoops Tharg and the droids had to jump through in order to get both the prog and Meg out. There are a lot of points of interest in that solicitation: most notably for me the continued non-appearance of Slaine and that The Alienist was/is due in the floppy. How much of a last minute thing was the decision to serialise the Encyclopedia? And are we, as Matt seemed to suggest in the recent interview, really getting it every month until Feb 2022?

Having seen part one, I'm happy for that, to be honest. Not least because its given me an excuse to buy an extra copy each month for my eldest- who reads the prog, and loves that kind of thing (I've only just got my copies of those Mongoose (?) Dredd guide books back from him after several years.

According to the article for prog 2210 and 2211: ", and Slaine takes the fight to Brutus in "The Web of Weird" by Pat Mills and Leonardo Manco!"

[Colin YNWA]

Yeah its interesting that Alienst is listed as the floppie here. Might just be out of date info as I thought the encyclopedia was to be the next 12 months? Maybe they will drop in the odd other things to continue to mix it up? Who knows.

Looks like the line-up going into the new year will be Proteus Vex, Hershey, Deadworld and Fiends - I'm assuming the Johnny Alpha story will be a one off? Anyway if that is correct that's a decent line-up.

[Colin YNWA]

Oh and more Chimpsky is a very good thing.

[TordelBack]

Flintless Proteus Rex will be a wrench, and I'm not sure I can bring myself to read more Hershey (a first for me).

Deadworld, Fiends and Chimpsky though, bring it on!

[broodblik]

Lynch is on art duty for Proteus Vex and he did a great Flint impression in the Action Special for Hell Machine. I will wait and see how good he does Vex.

[TordelBack]

Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love Lynch, but the PV universe felt SO driven by the specific style Flint was using.
