Good stuff! Nice to see new covers on both the Slaine & Dredd volumes, and to see a Euro book that breaks through the 100-page mark.

I'll definitely be picking up the Rogue & Dredd books, and I'm sorely tempted by Slaine. I didn't really enjoy much of the Books of Invasions, or Langley's art, but the completist in me is muttering darkly - hell, I picked up Vanguard & I even bought Bison!

Also liking the new cover. Great buttocks on Mr Gil there!

A sculpted arse is a must when you're taking on the might of Justice Department!

Does the Rogue Trooper collection include "Blind Terror" (progs 379-380) and "M for Murder" (progs 384-386)? They're not in the contents page.

--Grant

The Amstor Computer · 20 January, 2006, 06:39:01 PM

Hm. I'd expect so, as the collections so far have been complete. Previous early contents listings have missed or mislisted stories, so I expect this is just a little oversight rather than missing material.

Oddboy · 20 January, 2006, 06:40:08 PM

Yet the page count suggests that they are... and with 20-or so pages extra to spare

The Amstor Computer · 20 January, 2006, 06:43:31 PM

Cool. I suspect the extra pages will quickly disappear when you take into account story divides and front matter. Of course, if a Rogue Trooper text feature or sketch gallery has snuck in I'd be chuffed...

Jonathan O · 20 January, 2006, 06:48:14 PM

Yes it does include those stories. Will e-mail Wake now, cheers for the heads-up.

You mean the 10% discount subscribers get when they order books from this website's shop?
It works fine for me.

The Amstor Computer · 21 January, 2006, 12:21:10 AM

I think he means the free/reduced price GN offer from the tail end of last year.

Have you asked the subs department?

thrillpowerseeker · 21 January, 2006, 07:32:21 PM

yes thats the one Amstor..I did send an email before christmas..no reply..

Bad Andy · 21 January, 2006, 07:51:27 PM

I never seem to get a reply to emails either.

Three times last year I emailed them asking about getting the Extreme Edition 2 and heard not a jot.

Actually called them up and I had the issue within a week.

IndigoPrime · 22 January, 2006, 01:01:14 AM

As far as I can tell, the GN offer is sent to "blocks" of subscribers at a time?not all of them. I've subscribed to 2000 AD and the Meg for a few years now, but I wasn't included in the first GN offer. However, I was sent something about the second one when my subscription was about to run out. The offer essentially covered the older Rebellion/DC TPBs and a few Euro trades, ramping up the discount the more you bought. It didn't, however, cover any of the more recent books; therefore, I suspect that future offers are fairly unlikely to include the new Rebellion books?they're more likely to be a way to shift surplus stock.
