2000 AD - The Ultimate Collection

[Richard]

Hope not; those were not 2000AD at its best.

[The Monarch]

okay so maybe canon fodder now? maybe? possibly? probably not but i can dream

I love Night Zero & Beyond Zero but I'm sure there's stuff more deserving to get in that those. There's been a few weird choices though.
I suspect we'll see some more recent thrills in there.

[2000BC]

I remember enjoying the first two Zero stories when they were in the prog.  Kev Hopgood's black and white art was a good fit.

[Shakira? Shakara!]

Any idea how much of Proteus Vex will be in the UC volume? I have the very thin trade which collects the first 2 arcs. Hachette website says 200 pages, so presumably this could be all (to date) 4 story arcs?

[broodblik]

Each arc is about 60 pages, so I cannot see that all 4 will be included maybe only 3

Vex is an odd one. I'd love that series in HC, but I'm not keen on splitting it in the UC. (Same with Lawless, which I started buying in trade format.)

[O Lucky Stevie!]

Mike Carroll has mentioned on Facebook that Book V is the final series. So given the new end date of 2025 Tharg might be able to squeeze the entirety of Proteus Vex into the UC.

Huh. I'm surprised it's wrapping up so quickly. It felt very long-running saga to me. A pity in some ways, although I'm also not against finite strips rather than ones that just stop for years and years.

Dan Dare vol 1 is the next volume after Survival Geeks, and will be paired with it for subscribers. Bit of a shock as I'd assumed it was going to form part of the 181-200 range.

[Swerty]

Where did you see that

I logged in my Hatchette account and it was listed as my next scheduled delivery.

I read Scarlet Traces, an interesting book.  Some of the artwork had a Ministry of Space aesthetic about I felt.  Never read it before, indeed, I hadn't heard of it before, but looking forward to book 2.

I found it more interesting when it was Vex investigating a conspiracy rather than the more recent turn to epic war shenanigans. Still one of the standout newer thrills for me, good space opera, freaky alien stuff (Tiny men in heads! Strange worm beasts with doll faces! Gigantic rock people!), I'd have thought it had more legs. I'd like it to continue.

What series are included? Is it War of the Worlds first?
