Forthcoming Thrills & Trades!

Given that, and how much I enjoy the big case files books, I reckon a complete Nokolai Dante in that format(hopefully put out after I've nabbed the other stuff I'm after) would be damn near unmissable!

Given that it's a full-colour strip, it'd also be expensive. You'd probably still end up with a half-dozen books at £21.99+ each.

I've never really understood the argument that the colour books need to be on glossy, heavy paper.

I've got many US trades that are in colour and printed on rougher matt paper, and while obviously you'd lose a bit of detail with painted artwork I'm not convinced it would result in an unreadably murky mess - I dare say that the texture provided by rougher paper might actually help to hide some of the flaws in the weaker fully painted and computer coloured stuff, which doesn't reproduce that well anyway. It would also mean we could get affordable, chunky volumes of colour stuff like Sinister/Dexter, Anderson etc.

I actually was cognizent of that likelihood when I commented earlier. I think it says something about Nikolai Dante that I'd quite hapily shoulder that expense. I mean, I paid more or less RRP on Dark Horse's Akira reprints, so... yeah, I'd be happy to pay that, personally, even though I can imagine that others might not.

2000ad/Simon & Schuster Graphic Novels and Books - US (provisional list - all subject to change):
Kingdom: The Promised Land - June 2011
Low Life: Paranoia - June 2011
Nikolai Dante: Too Cool to Kill (aka The Romanov Dynasty) - July 2011
Hondo City Law - August 2011

So I don't buy the same thing twice, these US editions are pretty much the same as the titles we've already seen released by Rebellion (though some with different names), aren't they?  Do we know at this stage if they will include any additional content?

The Kingdom and Dante books are almost certainly going to have exactly the same contents (the only difference will be the covers, and perhaps things like sketches/cover galleries), but I'd imagine the contents of the Low Life and Hondo City Law books will differ from the contents of the UK Mega City Undercover and Shimura books.

So will the content that appears in the US versions be released in the UK?

Looks like Red Seas 'Gods and Monsters' won't be starting in 1724 at least, as the next prog advert listed Flesh and a Future Shock replacing Necrophim and Ampney. Hopefully its just a short term delay due to story length and the like?

Hmmm wonder when this will arrive as according the the early receivers of this weeks Prog an unexpected Dandridge seems to have filled the gap left by Kingdom. I wonder is Dandridge taking Sinister Dexters role as gap filler?

As ever, I applaud Rebellion's dedication in making sure every single bit of Belardinelli is out there in a collection. What does that leave... The Dead and Moonrunners? Won't be holding my breath for the latter, mind.

Good lord... are they going to print the Tornado episodes as well? That may come as a bit of a shock to a casual reader -- however many episodes of (relatively) straight historical sword and sandal stuff, then --ZAP!-- he's in an alien arena...

Cheers!

Agreed - it's outstanding.  It will be mine.

Hopefully there'll be enough interest in this collection to raise a green eyebrow and spur commissioning of the long-awaited return.
