My issue 60 just came from FP with a 3mm slippage on the spine towards the back. Last time there was a problem like this I sent it back and they replaced but...
...but
I just can't be bothered anymore. It's fine. It's black. Not like Dredd where the white lines were so clear.
The issue contains the whole (i assume) strip as serialised in progs 1-51
Oh, and the back endpapers are upside down. I only just saw that as I leafed through and wrote the above.
I may ask FB for a replacement and see how far that gets me.

Since 30 books is over a year, I think they may even be open to another extension if the content/sales are there.
The marvel one was extended by 60 (having begun as only 60), then 20, then 30, then another 30 and at present 20 more to 220.

I think it's fair to say an extra 30 books is also more than any of us expected - here's hoping for a Machine Law-Guatemala volume!
WHOOP! Well done for spotting that Dark Jimbo! Amazing news.
Oh, and if you click on the time/date the FB post was made, that's the link to the specific post.

Should we start asking Boo Cook if he's doing a spine extension!?

If the regen progs are released in such away that the preceding prog all stories end and the following prog it is all new stories then it should not be an issue for me.  I did enjoy the regen prog and it was nice to have something different.
An effective pallet cleanser before a slew of new strips each time. Sounds good to me!

wow! Great news. Just a shame they're still leaving it and the 200AD collection out of the sale.

Argh! Just checked my online account to see if the correct issues have been allocated yet, and my subscription is now showing as Cancelled. Here we go again.
Save yourself the pain: go to forbidden planet and preorder the remainder of the series. The books are 50p off retail so by the time you've ordered them all the bulk postage £5 will have been offset twice over. The only one they don't have you're after is 58. The books ship as soon as they come into stock (and you're only charged then too) in a nice hard cardboard sleeve.

It's a masterful cover. The balance is just right. I just finished reading the final part Mr Davis' Motherless Oven trilogy myself. That one's called The Book Of Forks and it's bonkers. I've also recommend his Don Quixote adaptation, which is a brick of a book.

Anyone else still without Meg? I cheekily changed to a combi sub half way through last year so it's poss it was set up incorrectly. I've emailed now to hopefully resolve.

And Liam Sharp did as well I believe. Maybe he will handle the cover to vol2!

I would imagine a Hachette collection will use the existing translations. The Papercutz books are for the American Market after all. The Pipeline Comicbook Podcast covered the new US editions in detail last week.
