:: Judge Dredd - The Complete Mechanismo

Pretty likely, I would think, and it'd make a decent book.

:: The Journal of Luke Kirby

That book would be great! However, as it's part colour, it would likely be split over two, and I can't see two Kirby GNs.

:: The Complete Revere
:: (Another unlikely one

I do remember Jamie suggesting that it was on the list, however.

:: Is that your listing on Amazon?

Yup, I got fed-up not having a quick and easy list to "buy" pages, so spent a few minutes setting one up. Here's hoping others are finding it useful.

I'd be amazed if Nemesis isn't part of this deal, too. Even if the latter books lack a little something compared to the first five or so, it's still some of Mills' best work for 2000 AD. The thing is, aside from the continuing reprints of the usual suspects, and the likely three or four ACE Trucking books, I wonder what else is coming. (Luke Kirby, please!) Indigo Prime was a massive surprise, and all kudos to Rebellion/DC for taking a risk with it. That and the likes of Devlin proves that this line isn't just about the most obvious choices, and that makes me rather hopeful for the remainder of the line, even if we have little idea about what's going to be in it.

The Slade list looks spot-on to me. As for Stront Dog, didn't someone say there'd only be four books? I hope that's not the case. However, it wouldn't surprise me to see fewer books than in your list, but with more pages (seeing as they'll be b/w). Nice idea to do these guesses, but I wonder if anyone can guess what series that haven't had a book so far are going to see print, too? :)

640?! My first computer had 3.5k! (A Vic 20.)

Cinnabar is too good to be wasted on an Extreme Edition. Here's hoping Jamie's plan to release it later on sees fruition. It'd be criminal if one of the very best Rogue stories wasn't part of the DC TPB line.

I agree: Sean Pertwee (pre-balding) would have been an excellent choice. If they had to choose an American, that blonde bloke out of Buffy (James Masters?) would have been all right.

I guess it's "horses for courses", but I thought the Dredd/Rogue crossover art was dire, rather like pretty much anything Higgins done post Prog 750. The writing wasn't too bad, but it didn't excite me at all.

Apparently, you haven't read it, then, because it's pap. The first Alpha/Dredd crossover ("Top Dogs") was, however, excellent.

I saw the new-look board all of one whole time. That really didn't make me want to leave the site...

Some people really do have more money than sense. Perhaps the buyer thinks the stickers really will make them into an actual bionic man.

Fair enough, and I appreciate the clarification regarding quoting. I suppose the "lean" period is down to personal taste, but having come from 2000 AD's "classic" 300 era, I got gradually more annoyed with the strips from 700ish onwards, including Mills' output. I never liked Finn in Third World War, so was hardly thrilled to see him in 2000 AD. The stories weren't appalling, in my opinion, but it always read like a second-rate Slaine to me. His Nemesis stuff around that time was pretty poor (with the exception of the Weston one in that winter special), and after Horned God, Slaine became a running joke. Dinosty was shockingly bad, even if taken as a straight parody ("Religion is bad," says Pat), and I never thought much of "Legend of Shamana".

Of late, I've found Mills' output variable, to say the least. I thought Savage was all right, but hardly the near classic some are suggesting, and ABC Warriors is good old-fashioned fun. His Dredd in the Meg was, frankly, embarrassing, and I just find Slaine is really, really boring these days, which never used to be the case. Then again, it's never as much fun to read something the third time round.

It's not all bad?it never was. I guess I just expect too much from such a comics icon. For what it's worth, Grant's 2000 AD output is just as disappointing to me these days.

Heh! Pat Mills?the Prince Philip of the comics world!
