Well I'm assuming that the amount of funny threads on the board at the moment can be attributed to the fact that not much is going on in the 2000AD world for us to gossip about. So I wondered if anyone had any gossip or snippets of information as to what we're going to be seeing in the end of year bumper issues of 2k and the meg? I'm still holding out for the return of Ace Trucking Co (with Gibson an art duties this time round), do you reckon it's too late to start petioning Tharg?

Dante has been mentioned by Simon Fraser, and Slaine, ABC Warriors and Caballistics Inc are my safe bets.
And probably Judge Dredd in there somewhere, rumour has it.

I'd love to see Ace back, if it was in the tradition of the earlier stuff and not the overlong, unfunny crap it turned into.
Melvin Bragg? Er, okay.
You may be correct, however, that it's too late to start asking for things in it.
How long does such a bumper issue take to put together? Must be at least the three months we have left.
For my own part, I'd love to see Dante turn up in it, and I support any Gibson art at all.
It would be nice to see Lobster Random appear again, too.

Pete - good to see someone take up the clarion call! Get Langridge on Robo-Hunter now.
(Ideally as he was 80 when we met him they could be flashback tales to his youth - all steampunk robots and stuff.)

Alan Grant's doing a new Robohunter series, featuring not quite the same S. Slade we're familiar with.
It's mentioned on All The Rage today, so I guess it's now okay to blab it here.
And, yes, I agree that Roger Langridge would be great on Robohunter. I think I've suggested him for it before.

Ronsalle the Fuck was out walking one sunny day, when he passed Jones the Post and Dai the Baker going up the hill.
"Where are you off to?" asked Dai.
"I'm off to Mrs Robinson the Grocer, then Miss Smith the Fishmonger", replied Ronsalle.
"Could you fit my wife in this afternoon?" enquired Jones the Post.
"I'll see what I can do", said Ronsalle the Fuck, feeling overworked.
