Best of ??
I once signed a copy myself and told a mate that his favorite artist/writer had done it.
Obviously I was a school kid back then, and wanted to get off with his sister and wouldn't dream of such shenanigans these days.
She saw through the charade, and we all lived happily ever after.
Keep on Drokking...

Whatever happened to this? Is it still in the pipeline, or has it been quietly shelved? Anyone know for sure?

No, I meant the actual comic- but the search function here was doing its usual thing, so that was the thread that came up. Apologies!

I would assume it was paused because of COVID.

Always a sad jolt to see a Bolt post.

I'm not sure whether to say that or not. Or if it's disrespectful to then move on to a comment. Sorry if I upset anyone. I am really unsure of the etiquette.

Anyway, I would like to buy this. Even though I have a full collection, I am too lazy and would like curated gems without the Hachette gouging.

Why do you say 'gouging'?

I feel it's a never-ending saga and my fear of incompletion means I'd be compelled to buy them all, even the duff ones that these kind of things use to pad out the collection. Whereas, for reasons that I know are really baseless, a comic just feels better.

In typing that, I realise my feeling is baseless, but it also how I feel. It's like the Hachette collections are like those £30 a month model sets that seem to never end
