I recently got a new tablet and bought the America e-book - which is bloody lovely . But there doesn't seem to be any other e-books produced by 2000AD. Any chance of getting some more collected editions converted to the electronic format?

What you mean like when they resurrected The Dark Judges, Mean Machine Angle, Rogue Trooper, the rest of the Angle Family etc etc
To be fair though, thats 4 examples you've named there, in 3 decades of comics, and I can't really think of many etc's. Plus, theyw ere probably not the most popular of decisions where they? Except perhaps the Dark Judges.
I'd agree that this is a slippery slope and don't really want to see 2000ad go any further down it. I'd been giving this story the benefit of the doubt until now but I have to say that the Ho Gan line did seem a little bit off. A one line dismissal of an awful lot of work, some of it very good.
I may be on thin ice here but I'm gonna say that if this was anyone other than John Wagner I don't think it would be getting cut quite so much slack. Even if he had intended to use the Dogs characters but couldn't, did he really need to then dismiss it quite so totally?
I'm afraid that this story is starting to leave a little bit of a sour taste.
I'll be back later with a review of the rest of the prog. Just had to jump into this little debate before it moved on.

[What you mean like when they resurrected The Dark Judges,
You cannot resssurrect what did not truly live. And the whole point of Rogue Trooper was that he could be resurrected/re-gened.
But aside from that, a good point. The resurrections of Chopper and the Angels were nothing but regrettable, IMHO, not leats because having done it Wagner dropped them like a hot potato.

If Alpha pops up alive - which looks a bit more certain than before - it'll make 2000ad more like the likes of Marvel or DC who as we all know kill of & bring back characters on a very regular basis.
Annoyed of Leatherhead!
