Think they're planning to launch the full series next year.

The new Hachette website is a bit odd. Can't login with my email and password so have to use subscription number and postcode. Go to check orders, and everything is listed on invoice four times, then the duplicates are removed when calculating final cost. It's really strange.

I get a 503 Bad Gateway error when I go to view my order history and can't get back into the website unless I clear my cache. Ordered a number of volumes I thought I'd missed out on in the meantime.

Got my dispatch notice from Forbidden Planet for the 8th Dante volume - 1 to go - very excited! Then Red Seas!

Got mine too, although only after ordering another one direct from Hachette. Now attempting to cancel the Hachette order... Oh well!

No Dante book at Forbidden Planet yet. I have an online order set up for it and have been charged but showing as not in stock.

Nikolai Dante 7 just dropped through the door from FP 👍🏻👍🏻 Been looking forward to this for a while.

Mine too! Also from FP!

Just now received from Forbidden Planet regarding my specific question on Hachette GNs:

Thanks for getting in touch.

We have a bit more information in regards to new shipments.

Unfortunately due to the Covid-19 Lockdown no items released on or after 25th March 2020 are being shipped to retailers from suppliers, and your outstanding orders will be delayed until further notice. We hope to fulfil outstanding orders once this situation has been resolved and suppliers start shipping comics again.

We're sorry again for any inconvenience caused by this delay and thank you for your patience and understanding in these uncertain times.

Emailed earlier today by Forbidden Planet informing me of a change of release date for the next Dante volume. Checked my order tonight and it's now been charged and ready for dispatch!

If I end up being charged for my order of The Best of 2000ad Issue 1 then I'll know something fishy's going on.

thats almost the entire run how much absalom are we getting in book 2?

Can't really see getting any Absalom to bulk up volume 2. Maybe Necronauts?

Pretty sure it was confirmed sometime back that we'd be getting some Absalom stories to round out the 2nd cabs book - this is the best I can find now and I can't be arsed to try and trawl the whingefest that is the FB group to see if it was ever mentioned there.

Matt very specifically said the complete Nikolai Dante. Also, a complete collection of Cabballistics, with a bit of Absalom thrown in to round out the page count. Plus, a complete collection of the Abnett/Harrison Durham Red in three (I think) volumes, which I'm sure will look amazing in a hardcover on decent paper.

And that does leave the perfect amount of Absalom for a follow up volume in the extension - I think that one is a a pretty safe bet tbh.

Hmmm. I haven't read either. Do I buy volume 1 and wait for volume 2 with added Absalom? Or do I just get the complete Canabalitics from Amazon in one go? £13.99 for 300 pages is very tempting!

Happy to report my copy of Dante 6 was in my nerd shop when I visited today. 6 down 2 to go (I think) very exciting.

Three more volumes according to the listings on Wikipedia. Next one in April and then June and July for the finale.

My local WHSmiths sometimes gets a copy and they have the Dante one in today. Last time I was in the London Forbidden Planet they appeared to have done away with all their 2000ad Ultimate Collection. There wasn't even any back issues on display which surprised me.

Latest Dante book dropped through the letter box this morning. Ordered from Forbidden Planet.

Starburst have posted a review of the first issue https://www.starburstmagazine.com/reviews/best-2000-ad-1

Apart from Dredd these are all the first few parts of stories from Brink, Jaegir, Halo Jones...It'll be interesting to see if they pick up the conclusions in the following issues, or leave new readers dangling and forcing them to hunt down the finales!

Just looking on the Forbidden Planet website they have listed all the volumes upto 80
They are;
61; Slaine- book of invasion Vol1
62; Nikoli Dante vol 6
63; ADC Warriors Volgan Wars vol 2
64; Caballisics Inc vol 1
65; Strontium Dog Life & death of Johnny Alpha
66; Slaine Book of Invasion vol 2
67; Rogue Trooper vol 5
68; Ampney Crucis investigates
69; Nikoli Dante vol 7
70; Slaine book of Scars
71; Durham Red the Scarlet Cantos
72; All-Star Future Shocks
73; Slaine the Brutania Chronicles vol 1
74; Nikoli Dante vol 8
75; Savage
76; Sinister Dexter vol 3
77; Nikoli Dante vol 9
78; The Grevious Journey of Ichabod Azrael
79; Slaine the Brutania Chronicles vol 2
80; Cabalistics Inc vol 2

Thanks. Reminded me to place an order for Dante vol 6!

And in the nightmare dimension: "Sorry, but we've decided that of the 30 new books, 30 of them will somehow be Sláine."

Surely that's also every issue of The Best of 2000ad!

Thanks, on that basis it wouldn't be enough pages to go in the Hachette extension. If memory serves everything from the first 3 Rebellion volumes was included in the Hachette books, so I won't be missing anything?!?

It's a really good strip!

I now have a dilemma of whether to buy this or wait and see if this forms part of the Hachette 2000ad extension. Although 144 pages is too short for the Hachette books.

Has Kingdom now finished as a series in 2000ad?
