Quote from: The Monarch on 09 December, 2023, 12:47:59 AMso is the scarlet traces book the first time in the partworks that has reprinted stuff that was never in 2000ad or the megazine?
Blackhawk had the Tornado stories
Ro-busters had the Starlord stories

The thing that always got me about purgatory, was there was a misprint that swapped pages around in one of the later episodes and I don't remember anyone complaining about it.

Thus far I don't think the 2000 AD Ultimate collection has printed a single page written by Mark Millar. Do you think we'll make it all the way through?

(purgatory and inferno are in issue 38 of the dredd mega collection for those curious)

Quote from: IndigoPrime on 27 October, 2023, 11:20:57 AMBeyond the above, Nikolai Dante is complete bar (IIRC) one fill-in single published way later in a special. Red Seas is complete.

With the Strontium Dog Starlord strips being omitted and Rebellion's HC being OOP, I half wonder whether we might get that in these final books before the series ends. 

Strontium dog leftovers volume featuring
Starlord strips
A sorry case
Tales from the doghouse
The one or two missing annual/special stories not drawn by Carlos ...

Quote from: Max Headroom on 27 October, 2023, 03:13:49 PMHackenbush - Which was the Ro-jaws/Deadlock story? I can't seem to place it.

Perhaps he meant Ro-Jaws/Pineapples, as in Tin Man?

whoops yes that is what I meant - I don't read the current progs.

Quote from: JudgeFridericus on 26 October, 2023, 09:32:04 PMI'm wondering if it's possible to collected the full runs of the main 2000AD strips (Dredd aside) through this collection. I am thinking of the stories like Strontium Dog, Slaine, ABC Warriors etc. I have to ask because I know 'The Hit' was excluded from the Rogue Trooper volumes and I had to 'double-dip' with the Tales of Nu-Earth publications. Is the same the case with other story lines for the main characters?

I thought I'd ask here because I assume there are some of you who have read the collection from the beginning.
Welcome to the board. The collection has a complete run of Slaine, a very nearly complete run of ABC warriors (just the rojaws deadlock story missing), Strontium dog is nearly complete (missing the starlord stories and "A sorry case") but note you need to get the first strontium dogs volume for that.

For other key stories it is mostly complete but it is missing a lot of the lesser "reboots" like Mark Millars Robo hunter and most of the Rogue trooper "friday" stories. Check the wikipedia page for the collection for a listing of the contents.

Can anyone confirm the contents of Zenith volume 1?
I'm not likely to get it as I have the hardback set, but I'm curious about the contents and the back matter.
Did they include the Winter special story? Any commentary about Grant Morrison's ownership claims?

Reading Survivor today made me wish that Tharg bothered to get permission to make up a volume of Hilary Robinson stories. She has the copyright - maybe she'd be up for it? We have some creator owned volumes in the collection now.

Medivac 318 and Zippy couriers were pretty cool. I am less fond of Chronos carnival but I think it would fit in a single volume as well.

It would make a better volume than a lot of the other stuff from that time...

 What even the 1995 movie with artwork by Carlos
[/quote]

Any excuse to include some Carlos artwork should be taken.
Given we are getting some creator owned stuff, the Armageddon strip by Alan Grant and Carlos would be a welcome addition to fill out any slim volume...

Even Bob the Galactic Bum could fit in somewhere due to it's megazine reprint ...

If they are making enough money from the exercise then extending by including lawman of the future and DC Dredd etc is not impossible ...
We have Starlord and Tornado strips in the collection already ...

Is there more Defoe it could be paired with?
I really enjoyed Savage. It would be great to have a nearly complete Pat Mills set in HC

I'm happy to see it looks like we are getting the Tornado Blackhawk stories. They are a great read.
