It's no longer even listed on their website anymore :-(

Ha. Apparently my info was almost entirely inaccurate. Bloody website.

Yeah a few of the more recent Dredd trades on the shop only list the title story

I'd say you were bang-on for 5 out of 6, and can't explain why Hatchette chose to run the stories out of prog sequence.

Oh well, that's a second Dredd volume in a row to skip. Hoping we'll get some more first time Dredd reprints before the collection finishes.

May i continue to say how lucky we are to have matt smith? we almost ended up with the four dark judges teaming up with dredd to fight the four horsemen

Not that I don't doubt the quality of Rob Williams writing, I just don't want to double dip when I bought the Rebellion GN a year ago and have all the back up strips across other Rebellion GNs.

Quote from: castle4 on 02 August, 2023, 12:08:03 PMHello, longtime lurker, first time poster. I was wondering if anyone else has received issue 154/ vol 145 yet? I got mine on 22nd July along with the Slaine issue and 154 has a very noticeable spine art misalignment (printed too far to the right so spine image has a black vertical bar on the left). I mentioned this to Hatchette via FB messenger along with a photo and they sent me a replacement, which is no better. Posted this on a couple of FB groups but nobody else has received their copy yet so don't know if it's widespread or just a small batch.
My copy is the same. It's only a couple of mm but is still very noticeable.

Agh same, can't unsee it now

Good grief. I find it astonishing that when a company puts so much emphasis on one aspect of its collection – and to the severe detriment of basic usability – it still can't get it right.

I love these volumes, in giving us hardback collections of series that would otherwise never have seen that format (and in books thin enough that they won't suffer page sag). Would it have killed them to get a designer in that could have at least put titles on the spines? Eaglemoss managed that and still had spine art for its collections. Bah.

(I still keep wondering if there's any way of doing this myself, but I cannot think of anything that won't look a bit shit. Any kind of sticker – even if perfectly trimmed to the spine – is going to look off. I detest dust jackets and so don't want to make those or sleeves. Ah well.)

I'm on holiday at the moment, but my son has opened a recent package and I've had 155 and 156 delivered. I'll confirm contents tomorrow when I get back home.
