Maybe they can sneak in the missing Steve Sampson illustrated story in whatever volume gets Revere in the next lot.
And Pretty Please! throw in Danzigs Inferno
I love that story.

If we're getting completionist in the Strontium dog universe then I'd love to see a Middenface McNulty volume.

Maybe they've decided to just reveal the remaining volumes as they publish them.

Still no list ....

We might get "The Tax Dodge", and maybe "A Sorry Case" which have both been skipped but I would have expected them in the Repo Men Volume, not in a Strontium Dogs Volume ...

Interesting.
We're definitely getting Island of the Damned, which is nice.
Does anyone have idea what the story John Wagner is credited for in this volume will be?

Finishing Savage would be awesome if they manage it.
There are 29 books to fill in the extension..

I think we'll get
1 Ro-busters volume (2000 ad stuff only)
1 ABC warriors volume (the three "return to" stories)
1 BlackHawk
1 Revere / Cradlegrave
1 Mean team / mean arena
2 Sinister Dexters (the stuff that was in megazine floppies)
1 Deadworld
1 Finn
1 extra Slaine ?
1 Armoured Gideon
1 War Machine (paired with random Friday one-offs)
1 Leviathan
1 Devlin Waugh (post John smith stuff)
2 Strontium Dogs / Durham Red / Tales Doghouse
1 Samantha Slade (maybe with Hogan Hughes robo hunter)
2 Dredds (could be anything, probably machine law)
1 Harry 20

And then I run out of ideas

I know I'd love some of the rubbish from when I was reading back in the 90s, but I doubt Tharg agrees..

Portrait of a Mutant - I must have read it a dozen times over the years. Timeless.

The cover for 109 Tyranny Rex is up at the hachette site. The credits list is just the artists from the prog issues, but the page count gives me hope we'll get the special stories too.

Missed opportunity on the cover - we could have had this masterpiece

Hopefully it appears somewhere inside the book.

I would love to see some more of the never-reprinted stuff

The problem with that is that a lot of it has never been re-printed for a reason.

A Middenface Mcnulty volume with all of the megazine series would be amazing though.

A Robohunter volume with the Peter Hogan / Rian Hughes stuff, paired with samantha slade would be great as well. If you want to theme it on the author then Timehouse was pretty fun and that would fit.

I think what we'll actually get is more stuff that has been in the Megazine floppies, and anything that has been a digital only release in the last couple of years..

Pity - I would love some of the more obscure stuff (Mambo, brigand doom, Silo ...)

Don't forget to add in some of the Friday stories from the specials - some written by John Smith and some illustrated by Chris Weston.

I'd actually quite like a volume with some of the other Friday stories - Ron Smith's colour art was awesome. But I would fully understand the ultimate collection not having a single page written by Michael Fleisher.

You can now order up to issue 111 on Forbidden Planet, for those wishing to avoid the standard subscription / cherrypick.

Anyone got any news as to whether 'Brigand Doom' will make the extension?
I was getting into 2000ad proper around the run of that series, and its one id like to see included complete in hardback. Anyone else?
No news about that yet but I would also like to see it included. I always loved the art on that series.

There are lots of strips from that era I'd love to see in the collection but I expect that I may be an audience of one...

But hey how about the old Megazine Hershey stories coupled with the new series?
The art of Kevin Cullen is criminally underrated.

To be fair - Hachette still shows the same mistake

I would totally read a Princess Bride Indigo Prime crossover
#43
We could always end up with some complete two series volumes

How about completing Defoe and Savage in one volume ..

Armoured Gideon is almost the only thing left on my wish list. I'd love to see it. It's such a fun strip and the robot design is fantastic.

Well although my finances say "please no", I would love the continuation (or an extra continuation to say 150 volumes) to bring in some gaps from the Mega Collection
Another volume of Lawless
More artist themed dredd volumes:
Ron Smith (pirates of the black atlantic, question of judgment etc etc)
Peter Doherty
Chris Weston - early dredds + canon fodder ?
Enceladus (unless we get that in the Small house volume)

And some more collections of short but memorable strips like tribal memories and the dead

Go on Tharg give us an "attrocities of Mark Millar" volume so I can have Silo and Maniac 5 in hardcover (no need for his Robo hunter though!)

And yes please Armoured Gideon

We just have to wait and see what fits into the 140

Hmmm. The ultimate collection appear to have vanished from the Hachette website!?! Hopefully just a temporary glitch?

That really is curious. Maybe their web host is as competent as their printers?
