Last post by Hackenbush - Today at 01:00:56 AMI would love some less expected volumes:
Mark Millar - Maniac 5 / Silo / Canon Fodder - can fill it up with future shocks
Chris Weston - Canon Fodder with Dredd/Rogue/Robo hunter stories that are not in the collections
Peter Doherty - Dredd volume
Peter Hogan - Robo Hunter and Timehouse
Garth Ennis - Time flies & Chopper (including the Martin Emond drawn one off)
Ron Smith - all the classic dredds that have been skipped
What I really want that will never happen is to have all the odds and ends of John smith stories that are missing to be collected - including the text stories. I don't know if that is enough for a volume but I want it anyway.

Last post by Steve Green - 26 April, 2024, 10:10:07 PMI don't think there's enough interest to warrant the expense.
Vagueness about rights + these kinds of stories get reprints because they already exist (bar scanning and any repro tidying)
It would depend on whoever wanting to publish it, prove it, then probably running a kickstarter to pay for everything else, that hitting the target etc.
Seems more trouble than its worth - more than Carlos changing Lobo out for the Bob the Galactic Bum story.

Last post by Funt Solo - 26 April, 2024, 07:14:42 PMCover: sort of last week's cover. This is happening a lot these days.
Fudge Bread vs. Mega-Shako: Dredd should take some advice from Vito Corleone - never tell your enemy what you're thinking! This also leads to a bit of a parsing crime (5 months cube-time, Williams!) with Dredd's unwieldy "I promise you this, however, creep: I will get you back to the city and you'll see the inside of a cube for what you've done." Parsing crimes aside, this is till solid gold.
Blackhawk: More parsing criminality here, but then it is hell. Perhaps Titivillus has bled over from the Megazine. "For fear is the true chains that keep us slaves"? I know, I know - you can't say "for fears are the true chains", and you can't say "fear is the true chain". Anyway, it was a tense moment for Spartacus, so we can forgive him. Unless we're Hannibal.
■■■■■: somehow some people meeting and walking through some hallways is thrillingly disturbing and works as a terrible cliffhanger full of foreboding for the horrors to come.
Periwinkle Supreme - entirely worth it for the "malignant Mr. Punch outbreak". (And as long as Depp's a balloon, we can carry on.)
Salamander Irk - even worse, emotionally, than Maitland! But is it as final as it looks?
---
In the pipe, five by five. And a win for Titivillus.

Without spoiling - two agents attempt to stop the end of a reality. It's self contained and is absolute Gold.
Kev has it right. In the early days, we got three operative-pair tales:
Winwood & Cord: Downtime (680-681)
Fegredo & Brecht: How the Land Lied (682)
Winwood and Cord: Killing Time (735-744)
There are also the Fervent & Lobe tales, but those operatives start off in a Tyranny Rex story:
Tyranny Rex: Soft Bodies (595-598, 604)
Fervent & Lobe: The Issigri Variations (642-649)
Fervent & Lobe: Holiday on Ice (WS3)

Last post by sintec - 26 April, 2024, 04:34:56 PMYeah I think the curation has largely been spot on. A few books I've not enjoyed but that's par for the course with something like this. It really is shaping up to be a comprehensive collection of the comic. Just wish I'd managed to be a bit more patient and not tried to fill in the gaps earlier on as I'm ending up with a few dupes now. Definitely being more cautious with buying new books from Rebellion at the moment to avoid anymore of that.
The Out seems like another plausible candidate. Think there's enough of that to fill a book.
