i could have sworn we already knew this was the last series months ago i recall some of us talking about how to get the series completed in the ultimate collection because of that news

Quite true, I even think that Mike Carroll mentioned on his twitter feed this but I think the problem is a lot of us is in denial since whom wants such an excellent story to end

Was the Eagle Comics colour stuff really so bad? (I am totally unfamiliar with it).

I doubt they'll use the colour from the Eagle Comics reprints: I suspect that those pages appeared on the webshop as an example of how the new version might look.

The reason I don't think they'll use the Eagle Comics colours is that the page-ratios won't match. The Eagle Comics pages would have had huge gaps at the top and bottom if they'd just shrunk the original 2000AD pages to fit, so to combat that the vertical panel-spacing was increased...

In most cases, this didn't look too bad (and it's way, way better than the Quality Comics reprints in which they just stretched the artwork) but sometimes the decision was made to omit panels or fill in the gaps with new artwork. Look at Jim's arm in the second-last panel -- I don't think that was drawn by Carlos Ezquerra! (For the Eagle Comics reprints of Nemesis the Warlock Kevin O'Neill himself drew new panels or extended existing ones to fill in the gaps.)

Very nice! I like that you picked out Alpha's eyes along with the red dot on his helmet. It's subtle but effective.

I like these ones as well - that Dredd looks sinister

Thanks. I think he's just witnessed some shenanigans that he seriously does not approve of.

Presumably this is another collected Eagle comics?  Was any of the art reworked for it (and if so, by whom?)

We probably need to know who your current comic shop is, to avoid us recommending it back to you.

I think I'll stick with the B&W, those colours are pretty... meh.

This.  I was really looking forward to this, but seeing all the bright purple and red, and single colour frames, etc, I'll give it a miss.
