Anyone had Red Seas volume 4? It's been advertised on the back on the last couple of progs, but it's not up on Hachette's website yet (or Forbidden Planet). It'd be maddening to miss it.

Turned up on store shelves a few days late here in Ireland.Hachette have been spotty at best when it comes to delivering to store or subs.2000Ad might have been better handling distribution themselves.The gulf in professionalism between the Two companies is staggering.

81 and 82 are up on the Hachette website so the extensions definitely happening it seems.

Have had to buy a second switch after leaving the old one charging on the window sill were it got rained on and fried 😬.still all ready for Kentucky route zero on the 28th now.

If you are looking to sell your old dock, I'd consider buying it. Ours is a bit tempramental.


I'm afraid the missus god daughter has snatched it for her bedroom otherwise you could have just had it.Nintendo taking the pxxs pricing spare docks so high.There are third party docks going for £25.not sure how reliable though.

Doing a bit of googling, it seems that it's a fairly common opinion that the Witcher series has always had pretty clunky controls and weak combat, but most people are willing to put up with it because the story is apparently good, whereas for me it's a dealbreaker. A game has to have slick and responsive controls, especially an open world/exploration game.

To me it just feels really floaty and unrefined. Doing even simple things like walking through doorways or picking up objects feels needlessly fiddly, aiming or moving the camera feels twitchy and loose, and I feel like I'm constantly bouncing off/running into NPCs and getting stuck on a bit of scenery. It just feels really janky and unpolished, like the controls are an afterthought rather than tight, satisfying mechanics that the  gameplay has been built around, if that makes sense.

With the UI, it's not so much that there are loads of menus, it's more that it's all so cluttered and ugly looking. Very utilitarian, like it's been thrown together without a designer's eye.

Just not my cup of tea at all - gutted I wasted $40 on it.

You'll surely get at least $30 in vouchers for the witcher switch in cex against another game.When first released its menus were a bit of mess but constant updates made them much more streamlined and manageable.An amazing game which is much more suited to the more powerful ps or xbox and a bigger screen is an essential for it.

Got mine but I seem to be in a weird place with the Meg lately - I flick through, realise that I can't remember the last issue and put it to one side for a thorough read-through ... and then the next one arrives. I'm now several months behind in my Meg-reading. Lots of "part three"s in this one, but I haven't read the first two parts yet.

I dont read the meg during the year anymore I just wait till christmas when I've some time off and devour them over a couple of days.

So has this been Rob Williams removing himself from Dredd, or just finishing a long-running arc?

Oh I hope not.

This is just the worst day ever.Never met Carlos but I'm actually empty and numb at his passing.His art has been part of my life for over thirty years and to think I never get to see him draw Dredd or Alpha again breaks my heart.my deepest condolences to his family and friends and all at 2000AD.Rest in peace Carlos.

Wow Steve Green that is mighty impressive!

Too right.  I'm stealing that and printing it out to go in the front of my Agency Files/Mega-Collections. Fantastic work!

Help yourself! Not sure it's entirely without errors, and there are a couple of missing bits - annual/specials.

Would be quite nice to get it properly laid out...

Your hired 😂
