Royal Mail giving them a right sledgehammering didn't raise my levels of enthusiasm either.

This was the first time in a long while I had to request a replacement as well. FB mods were happy to oblige.

Thanks for running the poll! A shame there's no brand new thrills this year, but maybe Covid has something to answer for there. Here's mine, admittedly shaped by my christmas re-reads.

1. The Out
Not quite up to Book 1 but still amazing.

2. Chimpsky’s Law
Love me some simian action.

3. Brink
Another one I've reread, and again not entirely up to the dizzying heights of the previous books. I just want more dammit!

Bubbling under: Intestinauts, The Crawley Man, Fiends…

First post-Christmas prog is here too. Hopefully this thread can now descend once more into disuse.

I expect whatever Dredd book was coming was fixed for 140, and they have now moved it. This happened with the extension of the Transformers collection: when they learnt it was extended they adjusted the last of the original 80 volumes.

Should have checked here before posting in the Prog Drought thread. Count me #15,  nothing since 2309.

Just realised I’m a few weeks behind on my deliveries. This thread may exist in the reviews section , but is this something that’s happening to other subscribers?

I bought the two Dare HCs in the christmas sale last year and they have sat here unread, handsome books though they are. I also have the Mazeworld tp.

So: one book for Mazeworld, three for Dare?

Looks like they're quite forthcoming with titles, if you can hit a correct one:

Me:
Glad to hear about the extension - will we see any of these: Full Tilt Boogie, Diamond Dogs, The Out, Stainless Steel Rat, Dan Dare, Megatropolis, Mazeworld…? Thanks for your help!

2000 AD: The Ultimate Collection
Tom Evans Hi Tom, we do have plans for Dan Dare and Mazeworld however please bear in mind that this is subject to change and not guaranteed.
Thanks!

EDIT: other comments mean Outlaw won't be included (much to the disappointment of the original author), nor will Big Dave, Maniac 5, Really & Truly, Bad Company or The Order.

Was my Q they replied to. Bit of a shame about Scarlet Traces - although maybe it's called War Of The Worlds instead on their spreadsheet? I too have Zenith in HC, and Summer Magic. But they seemed shoe ins.

EDIT: Canon Fodder also confirmed as NOT in.

Lists no sources, but claims Dredd sequel has signed up Urban. Could it happen? Is this just clickbait? https://www.giantfreakinrobot.com/ent/exclusive-dredd-2-happening-karl-urban.html

Maybe Rufus’ Bad Company series partnered with Counterfeit Girl?
