New Rebellion collections: Pirates, Robots, Mutants & Teenagers!

I picked mine up for a couple of quid.

"Don't have a copy of it myself (already own a perfectly good edition) but I *believe* it was released - and if it wasn't, nobody bothered telling Amazon ;-)"

I swear to god I remember Jamie Boardman saying it was cancelled for some reason that is now locked in the obscure section of my brain.
Has anyone actually seen it in the shops?

I seem to remember i got it for peanuts through my dad who was in one of those cheap book clubs. But i've never seen it in the shops either

Why is it so damn hard to get hold of these releases?

:: Leviathan

Maybe that one's been repositioned and is now part of the DC line. (One can hope!)

For those that are interested, I'm also keeping a set of Amazon lists, showing each of the volumes, in release order.

Erm....

Doesn't look like we're going to see anything past july. Damn and blast it:

In a release, the publisher wrote: ?DC Comics regrets to announce the discontinuation of its Humanoids and 2000 A.D. titles.

?The company?s respect for the Humanoids and 2000 A.D. stories, characters and talent, however, continues unabated, and we hope both lines are welcomed by a U.S. publisher better able to find deserving audiences for these titles.?

Fucknuts. Though I can't say I'm surprised, given the complete lack of impact it's had in US shops.

Ah well, good effort and all that. I can only say I wish more of the titles had been things I wanted/didn't already have, but that said all the choices they;ve made have seemed pretty sane.

Byron Virgo · 13 April, 2005, 05:41:35 AM

Just read this - arsenuts!

Ah well, at least I'll still be able to get me hands on a 'complete' Indigo Prime...

Richmond Clements · 13 April, 2005, 05:44:20 AM

Can't say I'm suprised at all by this, as the only people doing any pimping for these appear to be Grant and the Amstor Computer.

Cliffy · 13 April, 2005, 07:52:35 AM

I was pimping them on another message board!

I don't think I convinced anyone, but still...

I appreciate that my work hasn't gone unnoticed! Thank you.

I've also just realized that all the existing pages for these on Touched by the Hand of Tharg have "dc" somewhere in the file name. Good grief, it's going to take some work to reconfigure everything once Rebellion gets moving without DC. Stupid DC, making me put extra work into my web pages, grumble grumble.

Dear Rebellion,

Please get moving without DC.

Love,
Grant

Had some word on this. Things are not grounding to a halt. Indeed, they may actually be getting better. Expect a news story from me tonight...
