Forthcoming Thrills - 2024

[dan200]

Has there been any word on a new Hershey book collecting "The Cold in the Bones"? I missed this story in the prog, it would suck if such an important story missed collection.

[IndigoPrime]

No word. Hoping they'd follow up the first set, so we have everything in the same format.

Judge Dredd - A Penitent Man Webshop Exclusive:

Oh, I really like that.  I'd order it too, but I've already pre-ordered the standard version elsewhere to take advantage of a discount code.  I wish they'd put these up at the same time the listings get released to/by retailers.

Though it does look like Dredd is hopping over the rings.

VOTE METTA FOR BETTA!

As Marshal of Badrock, Metta Lawson saved the town she has come to love from being annihilated by the corrupt corporation Munce Inc., established it as a thriving haven of free trade, and brokered an uneasy peace with the enigmatic Zhind race. Now, having resigned her position as Marshal, Metta faces a new kind of fight, a political battle for the mayorship of Badrock.

But without Metta enforcing the law, things aren't looking good for Badrock. The mysterious Mr Roke continues to establish a hold over the citizens of the town through his protection racket, the town's major employer, Getz, is conducting shady experiments with potentially disastrous consequences, and the SJS continues to work to undermine the fragile balance that Lawson managed to establish before her resignation.

40 Years Of Scream! Exclusive Slipcase Edition:

[Tjm86]

Oh my word, now that is a thing of beauty.  At last Rebellion is getting its head round the sort of treatment some of this material deserves.  That Scream volume is 'screaming' (sorry) for my hard earned groats ...

[Fortnight]

I'd love to get that, but I've got the Monster collected volume, the 4 HB Thirteenth Floors, the Dracula Files, and the original issues. And it's quite pricey.
There's no mention of the Specials & Spinechillers being in there, and they're the ones I don't have in original form... aaaaah. decisions decisions.
