Yup. I was suggesting £1 a month got you two a year, so you only paid £6 each binder as a subscriber.
So a preferential rate.

Yes, sorry, bad reading on my part. Was thinking of Hachette where it's extra per issue.

voted phase 4 as I had read that originally in the prog & so I recall it most. Need to grab the slipcase and re-read. I for one am glad it didn't make it into the Hachette series yet.

or maybe as a premium subscription for £1 a month more
(where did I get the idea of premium subscriptions from?)

They only cost a tenner each and two will cover you for the year so a premium sub would need to be priced less than £1/prog.

Of the remaining five what's the split between Kingdom, Stickleback and Zombo? (And is Durham Red part of the Strontium Dog ten or not?)

Pretty sure Stickleback was a single volume in FB replies.

Glad to see I wasn't the only one who thought this:

I love that absolutely everyone is saying how much 2017 Zenith looks like @molcher. I bet he's not fed up of that yet.

@johnreppion Of course not. I've barely even noticed...

some interesting end of year solicits

finally the final fate of starlord! they totally need to do one for big e too xd

2061 looks like a blinder!

What's the scoop on the Zenith return? I saw the new Yeowell image (looks like Molch-R to me). Who will write you think?

A change I've noticed between the pilot Halo issue and the new one is that the title and intro pages have been coloured. Wonder whether this the plan for all the black & white volumes to break them up a bit.

Didn't the trial covers have a 'corner box' image as well? Something else to help see what the books is without taking it off the shelf all together. Guess was messy design.

[not]

Thought I'd give the FB page a nudge about the extension's contents, but no new books confirmed.

They said that Every Empire Falls and Hershey are not titles in the extension though.

Going to stick with my guess that EEF is coming in the 2000AD collection instead.

Didn't want to start a new topic just for this, but are there plans for a new Binder this year? The 3 I procured last time around are rapidly approaching a full state.

I sure hope so! Looking back, I bought some in December 2015 and then November of last year, so it seems pretty likely they'll be announced soonish.

Dredd world? Like Devlin Waugh, missionary man, calhab justice etc?

Right- exactly. The case files are The Law In Order (as The Complete Judge Dredd once was) whereas the Mega Collection is trying to present every the aspect of Dredd's world and history, though not every story.

Does the mega collection cover anything that the case files won't eventually end up covering?

There's a significant portion of Dredd World content that is not in the Case Files, tho of that much is already collected by Rebellion. By the page the Mega Collection is cheaper though.

Heavy Mob is a complete waste of trees (with apologies to PJ Holden, I was done by the time I got to his strip). Shimura is pretty bad too, and Cal Hab.
Chief Judge's Man, Brothers Of The Blood & Trifecta are a standout set (of new to me stuff)

By my count now, 72 books are confirmed, and at least a further four (possibly five) are definite as well:

At this point, other than maybe getting a number on Robo-Hunter, I think I'm happy to wait and see if there are any surprises.

I know it's been shot down by you guys (who, let's face it, know more than I do), but I can't shake the feeling Zenith might be part of the first 80.

Has anyone asked Tharg on FB?

(I would, but I'm not on it!)

yes definitely not included in initial 80, sorry.
