I also really wanted the Mek Files to be completed, but lost hope and bought the Ultimate Collection books with the additional stories in them to complete the ABC Warriors story. It seems to me a bitter shame to start a series in one format and then not finish it. (Similarly, I desperately want the last books of Finn and Third World War to come out in webshop exclusive hardcovers but am beginning to think they may never do).

I think that the strip JayzusB.Christ is remembering so fondly is 'The Bogatyr' (Prog 2111). For my own part, I really enjoyed most of Slaine over the years, but do agree that 'Dragontamer' should have stretched to three books and could have given him the finale he so richly deserved. I still think that overall the series deserves the 'definitive' deluxe treatment that Nemesis is undergoing at the moment.

lordmockingbird - you might want to send RogueTrpr a PM about this as he has not been active on the forum since November and probably has not seen your post. Good luck!

I just checked on the shop website and it was not listed as sold out anymore - perhaps just a glitch earlier?

'Dan Dare' volume 1 is scheduled to come in at a hefty 272 pages (is this a record for a Hachette book?) and will two volumes be enough to cover everything that was in the Rebellion editions?

Le Fink - you might want to send a note with your order to ask whoever deals with your second replacement copy to check it for this annoying defect before dispatch to avoid this happening again. There are perfect copies in stock as mine also did not have this fault. Good luck!

That's real bad luck, Le Fink. Are you going to try for third time lucky?

Really pleased 'The Order' is going to be finished and genuinely curious to see what else will fill the last twenty books. Would a volume featuring the completion of 'Bad Company' be totally out of the question?

Poor show about the missing speech bubbles - don't they have proof-readers to guard against such things?? On a happier note, I am glad the story 'Fodder' was included and look forward to a volume 2 at some point.

There will be more 'The Out', but I'm not sure there is anything quite like it, although you could try 'Brink' by the same author if you haven't read it before.

As for pirates, I would recommend 'The Red Seas' by Ian Edginton which was fully reprinted in the Hachette Partworks Ultimate Collection.

Could anyone say what the measurements (in centimetres) are for this book?

TheBalzan - I can't remember where I first saw this information; I think it was posted somewhere on this forum. I couldn't tell you about a reprint schedule, but I am pretty sure the information for Case Files 22 being available again next year is accurate.

how much of the order do we still have? the first one reprinted a huge chunk of it

'The Order' still has the following unprinted:

'Inbetween Days' - Prog 2182
'Land of the Free' - Progs 2184-2195
'Fantastic Voyage' - Progs 2262-2272
'Hearts of Darkness' - progs 2317-2329

I think the above should be okay to facilitate another book. Fingers crossed!

Would like to echo what Magnetica said about a Definitive Edition of Slaine - hopefully that can be a very well deserved project for the future?

Just noticed 'Fiends of the Eastern Front: Silent Knight' in the Xmas Prog. What happened to the 'Wilde West (Prologue)' story from Prog 2310? Seems doubtful this is a continuation of that story given the different titles.
