Not consistently, no, and no intro pages.

Really enjoying All-Star Future Shocks.

Can anyone make sense of the order that they're in, though? They're chronological up to prog 1232, and then it goes back to prog 245 and has another chronological run. Why not just have them all in chronological order? Am I missing something obvious?

Same spine cock-up here. Have they confirmed whether all subscribers will get one automatically yet?

Maybe I missed something, but... where were all the Brit Cit judges in Brit Cit? Felt like a missed opportunity. Is everyone meant to be dead?

Woah that's early. I only received Rogue and Ampney last week.

Yeah it was the 'can't charge you twice in 28 days' excuse which I'd heard from them before, so this threw me a bit. Oh well as long as they turn up.

I've not been charged twice for the same volumes. I've been charged for two different pairs of volumes - but both charges have happened within a 21-day period.

Was anyone else charged twice in March? On the 6th and 27th for me. I'm not complaining, as I'm keen for them to to catch up with the release dates, but I wondered whether it was technically legal!

Has there been any more word on the extension, or still just that slip on the Facebook page?

The Case Files sure rule. It's wild to think how it's "catching up" with so many graphic novel / trade paperback collections I've stacked up over the years. It's all good double dipping to support such a cool thing, but I might skip big ones I have already like Origins etc. I guess Origins might just be something like three or four years away, within another eight Case Files, with some loose math. And Total War should be just a few Case Files away.

On my unread pile I have Case Files 27 through 34, and I'm thinking I'll dive into those this year. That's a lot of Dredd, like four and a half years worth, and I've never read it, so I'm looking forward to it. 

This is why I made the decision not to get any physical trades when I got back into Dredd a few years back. I caught up on the epics digitally, and in the last few volumes the Case Files actually caught up with where I left off, so most of it is brand new to me. Still going to need more bookshelves though.

Reading the new Case Files 34. Haven't read Helter Skelter in ages. What's the story of Ennis coming back to do this?

It's a bit of a wonky nostalgia-gest, but I do like the double-page spread where Ezquerra's art merges into Henry Flint's.

The appearance of Bad Mother - with apology - at the back of Case Files 34 amuses me greatly.

Yeah that's an interesting take. I feel like the collection has been a bit of a slave to nostalgia and is overly dominated by complete sets of stuff from the 80s instead of taking a braver approach and including a wider range of stuff from the whole run.

Mambo please!

As much as I love the Deadworld stuff, wouldn't Dominion have made a better match for Dark Justice? Is it a page count thing?

Page count for both parts of Dominion would be slightly larger than the Deadworld content - although not too much for 1 volume.

I'm hoping it's because they've got a follow up volume planned for the, as yet unannounced, extension with both parts of Dominion and the rest of Fall Of Deadworld in it. Although that might be pushing the page count a bit. And of course there may not be any extension so...

I do think that's a bit odd then.
