Forthcoming Thrills!

[13school]

Has anything been said about a further volume collecting the most recent Savage stories? Have there actually been enough to fill a volume since the last volume?

No, which is annoying as there's been three stories since the last collection (books one and two each collect three stories each) and the third story (9th overall) ended with a fairly definite wrap-up so the overall story -[spoiler] at least as far as Savage in a UK setting is concerned[/spoiler] - is over.

Blurb for Misty:
"Welcome to my world of mystery and shadows where the unusual is usual...where the unexpected is expected."

MOONCHILD
"Like her grandmother before her, Rosemary Black has discovered that she has the power to move things with her mind. A crescent shape on her forehead marks Rosemary as the Moonchild. While her jealous mother forbids her to use her new found abilities, the actions of a school bully push Ms Black closer and closer towards temptation and revenge."

THE FOUR FACES OF EVE
"Eve Marshall develops amnesia after an accident. Unable to remember anything about her past and haunted by nightmares involving the tragic deaths of three other girls, Eve sets out to discover the chilling truth of who...or what she really is. These eerie encounters are brought to you by Pat Mills, John Armstrong, Malcolm Shaw, Brian Delaney and, of course, your friend, Misty."

Three Case Files this year is pretty good.

01 Dec 2016 - Judge Dredd: The Complete Case Files 28 - Click!

Cover now up at Amazon UK:



(Is it just me or does the fabric of those gloves make them look more like a pair of ladies evening gloves?)

"THE BAD AND THE MAD IN MEGA-CITY ONE! Mega-City One is plagued by a group of rebelling Jimmy Dean clones, underground murder clubs, a Sexmek serial killer and a revenge-filled taxidermist, back from the grave and looking for justice!"

[Dash Decent]

Volume 28 is 304 pages and apparently, like volume 27, all Wagner!

[Dark Jimbo]

Hope someone spell-checks 'Trevor' between now and December!

"For all of his young life, Kenneth had been plagued by a feeling that there was something horrific dwelling in his house of secrets. But he had to know what was up there. He had to know what had killed his dad. And now he would face the horrors behind the attic door..."

ABC Warriors: Return to Ro-Busters

Hardcover, 96 pages.

"Mars, the far future. War droids created for a conflict that ended centuries ago, the ABC Warriors are resistant to Atomic, Bacterial and Chemical warfare. Charged with bringing peace to the civil war-ravaged frontier colonies on the Red Planet, the Warriors have finally recruited ex-member Happy Shrapnel.

"Realising that their maker, Ro-Busters CEO Howard Quartz, is the figurehead behind most of the devastation on Mars, the Warriors decide to terminate him. The problem is that due to their programming, they can't.

"And yet, there was one robot who defied Quartz on a regular basis. An ex-sewer droid with a bad attitude...

"An ally of the A.B.C. Warriors called Ro-Jaws..."

[Dash Decent]

11 Aug 2016 - Ro-Busters: The Complete Nuts and Bolts Vol 2

Hardcover, 246 pages.

"The robots are in revolt! The boss of Ro-Busters Howard Quartz also known as Mr. Ten Per Cent (90% of him is robotic), has seen his stocks plummet due to his involvement in the attempted demolition of Northpool.  In order to stop from going bankrupt, Quartz plans to destroy a number of his robots in a staged accident, including Hammerstein & Ro-Jaws!

"Having gotten wind of Quartz's plan, the duo seek out the robot underground, who organise the safe evacuation of unwanted robots to a distant moon. Before long, it's man Vs machine in a battle for freedom!

"This action-packed finale to the Ro-Busters strip includes star-studded backup stories from Alan Moore, Steve Dillon and Bryan Talbot."

("Having gotten" - tsk, tsk!  Please also fix "man Vs machine".)

You're right, Spaceghost!  Apparently the cover was originally going to be a homage to prog 301*

Hmm, not sure about that Ro-Busters cover. The colouring's a bit full-on and the image doesn't make any sense unless you've read the relevant story (to say nothing of being a big ol' spoiler.)

Really interested to know if the page count's accurate. The remaining strip stuff, plus every remaining Starlord/2K cover, and including the 3-page 'inside story' from prog 144, just for something else to bump the numbers up with - still only comes to 143 pages...!
