Have pre-ordered my copy and will be very pleased to own the entire saga in deluxe hardback. I just wish that they had taken just a little bit more care with some of the repro and included the colour sections from the early Progs. Still, pretty damn good.

Slight confusion - Is 'Shift presents: Spacewarp' the same material as 'Spacewarp 1'? If it is the same contents; what's the deal here? (Also, what happened to 'Spacewarp 2'?)

Mean Machine Angel wins hands down in my opinion.

Also keen to get this and read the entire story. Hope they include the extra Deadlock material that was contained in the Hachette Partworks editions.

Is the only difference between the standard hardcover and the webshop exclusive version the A2 poster? Seems like quite a big price jump?

Am I right in thinking it just artwork contained in this and not any 'proper' storylines?

I must agree with Indigo - 'The Red Seas' really was excellent. Ian Edginton is a most accomplished scribe.

I have just received my copy of 'Grey Area' volume 2 and the first things to say are that it looks good, is quite a large volume and contains everything thus far in print. Looking forward to reading this! One minor query I have is that one of the stories - 'Shoot To Kill' - I can find no record of. In the book it is listed as being in Prog 2122, but I am pretty sure that issue features a different tale and I can find no mention of 'Shoot To Kill' in Barney's listing of all the Grey Area stories. Does anyone know where this mysterious 5-pager first originated??

I'm not so sure that removing the logos, title and credit boxes is a printing error so much as new policy for the graphic novels team. However, I do agree that it was better when they retained them and I do doubt that they will come back.

Forgot to ask - does Defoe volume 2 include 'Frankensteiner'?

Sad that there will be no complete 'The Order' or 'Defoe', but am still hoping for another 'Stickleback' volume in the next extension. Wondering also how much of what's left of 'Grey Area' will make it in?

Although a striking cover, I still have to say that I prefer early McMahon to his later, more experimental, style. An undoubted master though.

Does anyone know if the forthcoming 'Slaine: Dragontamer' will have a webshop exclusive version or just the standard hardcover available from Forbidden Planet?

A real shame that the Mek Files are seemingly discontinued. I thought these were nice volumes and did want to see the entire ABC Warriors collected in this format. Did they not sell well enough?

Weighing up whether to try and get this as art editions are not generally my thing and there are a lot of books I'd like to see given this treatment i.e. improved high quality repro and at original prog size. Hopefully it will sell out and start a trend for Rebellion to release such quality tomes (if only on a strictly limited basis).
