I was in my local comic store today & they told me that IDW are doing a store specific variant cover for all stores that buy over 500 copies of the new Dredd comic. they don't know what the exact details are on the design yet & should get the full details in the next few days, but think it would be a standard variant cover but with the individual store's name on the cover.

They have started taking orders from the regular customers & anyone else who's would be after one,so if you want one please contact them a www.acecomics.co.uk

Bad news, after waitng over 3 years for the collected edition of Marshal Law to be published Kevin O'Niel & Pat Mills have parted company with Top Shelf comics. but good news whilst at SDCC they were approached by DC comics & are now in negotiations to publish Marshal Law instead

Just thought you would be interested that whilst speeking to Pat Mills today he confirmed to me that Matt Smith has given him the goahead to write Flesh book 3 with a new up & coming artist James? He wouldn't tell me anything about the storyline, but said it would be a classic Flesh story with a modern twist & ignoring the previous stories from the 90's (including his) as he always felt that they didn't sit well with the original stories

just found on twitter at PatMillscomics that he has started putting pages from his classic 80's story "Metalzoic" up on his facebook page "Pat Mills Lost Stories". So far he has put up the first 18 pasges of the original colour DC comics version instead of 2000ad's black & white one. He is hoping to find & put more of his old stories on there as & when he can find them.
