Does that say... STRONTIUM DOG?  Say it's so Greenbonce.  I think a lot of the crit new Stront has come in for could have been assuaged if it wasnt just one new story every two years with the weight that adds to expectations.

Not really trying this month the solicitation writers are they?

[The Adventurer]

I'm bumping this because I was going over my May orders (at the very last minute) and noticed something about

2000 AD EXTREME EDITION #29
by Various
The best of the Galaxy's Greatest Comic complete and uncut! (C: 0-1-2)
Magazine, FC SRP: $5.99

In that it was flanked by an Ian Gibson Robo Hunter image.

Now, Rebellion solicitations are notorious for slapping unrelated images up for their Solicitations, but those are 99.99% of the time just old covers. The Robo-Hunter pic is not a cover, its just a color splash page/pin-up of Sam Slade and a giant robot.

Please, please, PLEASE do not tell me EE #29 is going to reprint The Slaying of Slade rather then Rebellion give us a proper Robo-Hunter TP.

PLEASE.

if thats true then it'll be the first ee bought by me in forever!
