Arh man I want this to really work. I hope there's the chance to do a fresh edit from what we've seen in the Meg which felt a little imbalanced?

The earlier parts felt empty and lacking some content which for the latter parts where more completed and yes I believe an edit will be needed

One of the best things about turning the original Thrill-Power Overload articles into a book was the chance to revise and expand the text. IIRC The First Thirty Years hardback added 40,000 words. The 2017 edition added another big chunk to that.

Only 6 years until TPO50?

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

Is this the same as the recent stuff we've been getting from the Megazine?

I haven't got one yet, but I'm curious to know if they repaired the glitches (https://forums.2000ad.com/index.php?topic=47576.msg1061052#msg1061052) in their matrix. Mek-Quake!

And now apparently I'm getting a second copy of this with the A5 poster, which I originally ordered in the first place.
