Just noticed Rennie's ingenious link back to the parent strip - both have a title and hero that Squaxx mispell as the often as not!
"From opposite sides on the war-torn planet of NuEarth, he was a cheek cosmetic, she was a German digestif..."

No criticism of BatKing intended, we all do it, as any recent Prog thread will testify.

Sorry BatKing, really didn't mean to dob you in to the typo deathsquads!  Just meant to compare the multiple spellings of Jaegir and Rogue that abound in squaxxdom.

LOL

Rouge Trooper.
Strontinium Dog.
Judge Dread.

But Jager, Jiger, Jagear... all sorts of errors on that one. I think Mr Rennie did it on porpoise.

This is great news, but I want to ask: will there be any more US Format One-Shot Jaegir comics or does this collection mean any follow-ups to the first one-shot have been knocked on the head?

I read this today and enjoyed it, though in several places the text wraps around to the next line for no reason, e.g.

MOTH--
ER

SOUTH--
ER

etc.

In each case the long em-dash is pointless.  It takes up just as much room as the characters shuffled to the next line, perhaps more.

Sorry missed this reply. I wondered the same thing...

I Can't draw much of a conclusion really. A NA edition of Fourth Faction was released this month, with Endgame coming out on 15th October.

Clearly sales in US are considered separate for some subjects. I Imagine it is safe to say that Dredd sells better than most other titles in the NA market. So even this evidence doesn't help much...
