Citizen Sump(get it?) Long time background character Otto Sump is found dead and his last word were Rosebud.I thought it was going to be a shallow parody with some Sump humor throw in(which can be found,true),but it ends up being unexpectedly touching.Then,there is (another) tragic story of a robotic girlfriend.And the Starsmasher story which pokes fun at George Lucas and Star Wars.Not that funny now that we know its never going to end.
We have a Durham Red anthology,Scarlet Apocrypha.Another Lenny Zero story.Bendatti Vendetta is a new one.Passable action strip.Bad Company/Hellboy reprints are over.
Forgot to mention Alan Barnes is the editor now.Simon Pegg is voicing Johnny in a Strontium Dog audio drama.And Dredd VS Death is out.

I have always loved the musical stuff, even though I frequently didn't know the tunes in question when I was wee. Was the most recent Wagner example the singing wotsits from The Kreeler Conspiracy?

You beat me to it.I was going to mention that.

As somebody who went thru those Meg stories recently I can say collecting Sleeze 'n' Ryder and Inspectre and Brit Cit Brute is not a huge gain.On the other hand,Hershey stories were mostly okay.But thats just my tastes.
Btw,was Plagues of Necropolis collected in Mega Collection?

Judge Manners will stick around.There is the story about a guy so useless he couldn't even make it into resyk.Wardog is over.Final Missionary Man story is here.It was a wild ride.
DeMarco fights ninja gorillas.And in the reprints we have Visible Man(that was weird),Bad Company,Strontium Dog and Hellboy. No,seriously.

[Kingmaker]

I thought the same thing about the arm.It kinda blends into the belt.
Well,I could say Kingmaker is guilty for writing for a trade,but its not the only one.
Nice Future Shock.[spoiler]Mandalore[/spoiler] sounds familiar. 
There is a twist for Kingdom.[spoiler]A cat?[/spoiler]

Knowing the internet,Im sure it exists.
Personally,cant say Im a big fan of Scarlet Traces.
Btw,anyone knows what is Greysuit actually collecting?Everything so far?

Now your just giving people an excuse to post weird JD/MLP fanart.
Idk,Im 100% certain about Case Files.Skizz and Greysuit maybe.

@Frank Yes,that's the one.And that's the other one I was thinking about.
@GordonR Thanks for the insight.Looks like those were turbulent times.

We get the first appearance of Judge Manners and Karyn is back.Galen DeMarco searches for some abducted kids.Wardog is still going strong.Bit of a shakeup in the reprints as we now have Flesh and Button Man 2. Lazarus Churchyard is still around. 

Yes,its very meta.
I AM NOT A CARTOON CHARACTER!
And this isnt even the only time it happens.He meets John Wagner in an annual or a special.If somebody remembers that scene,give us a shout.
Speaking of Titan,a lot of those 10/15/20 year sentences should have expired by now.

[Plagues of Necropolis]

Well,from what I gather,Mega Collection covered a lot of not-so-great Meg material.Sleeze 'n' Ryder,really?
Honestly,not a big loss for most uncollected stuff so far.Okay,Plagues of Necropolis deserve to show up somewhere.
Volume 4 raises the page count to 100.You can guess how they filled out so many pages.
Dredd story is a sequel to the Expanding Ernie saga.This time more focused on the underground eating scene.There is Lenny Zero,which is okay.Wardog is another new one.A passable action strip.
Then we have the reprints.DR and Quinch,Ro-Busters(which is surprisingly good) and Lazarus Churchyard,another weird one.

Thanks for the support.
Get Missionary Man,I thought we solved that.
AFAIK Middenface and Young Middenface stories from the Meg remain uncollected.So does Pandora,Karyn,a better part of Harmony,Hershey stories mentioned before,anything that ran for 1-2 episodes really.And Tales from the Black Museum(we will get there).If you dont count Meg reprints the list gets even bigger.

[Volume 3]

And I finished Volume 3,or by different numbering I gut thru 182 issues of Meg.
Missionary Man and Middenface McNulty each return for an episode.Told you its going to be awhile before we see Archibald again.Lawcon was okay.Mean Machine gets 2 more episodes;including a parody of noir movies.And Strontium Dog is in the reprints again.
So onward to volume 4,where we get even more reprints.

We have a pilot episode for Marauder(which will happen later),and Lawcon. The first(right?) appearance of Lawlord.And Dredd meets his writer.[spoiler]It was actually a nightmare of his.[/spoiler]
Mean Machine is picked up by Harke and Burr;then ends up being a sheriff.After Buttonman,we get reprints of Mean Machine:Travels with muh shrink.

Jimping is a bout a Jimp(obviously) who gets too high on power.DeMarco starts a detective agency.Devlin Waugh is backs.And in the reprints we have Buttonman.

[The World's End]

I really like The World's End, i think it will age considerably better than Hot Fuzz in the long term.
Crap ending though, ironically.

I agree about the ending.
