Would more Lawless be out of the question, even if the first book came in the Mega Collection?

Oh I see. That's very Hachette isn't it! Let's casually drop that into the conversation. No need to make an official announcement now....

Got an email stating the Mega Collection would be taken off sale in the next two weeks. All the more gauling that these aren't being discounted and the Marvel books are going at the same time but are being advertised as a closing down sale.

Doctor Who appears to have gone already...

Er, I'm clicking on the FB link and all I'm getting is what would be Tharg's favourite weapon?

My copy of the latest Dante arrived via post yesterday. This time shipped by Whistl. Twelve days from point of order from Hachette which is an improvement of the month it took for my last order to arrive via Hermes.

The latest Slaine book actually appeared in my local WHSmith yesterday. Gave it a miss though...

Ordered the latest Dante direct from Hachette this morning, as I was paranoid it was going to go immediately out of print. Unavailable from Forbidden Planet and only 5 copies left in stock from Hachette last night, going down to 3 copies when I ordered this morning! It'll probably turn up at Forbidden Planet in town but it might be another month before I get there. By any luck I'll have it within the next month but what with Hachette's delivery service going off the boil, who knows?

Last time I placed a standard order with them, it took quite a bit longer than two weeks to arrive. As for the website, who knows? But this isn't the first time this has happened, and they were active on Facebook on Friday.

Thanks, messaged them and was told there had been a delay to the order. Should be dispatched this Friday, which is fine but I'm going away the following day!

Waiting to hear who the courier will be. Living in fear it'll be Hermes!

Hmmm. Nearly two weeks since I placed an order for Dante books 1 & 3 and Zombo. Heard nothing and the Hachette website's been down for maintenance since at least last Thursday..
I know from the above that delivers have been getting worse recently and a potential Hermes delivery fills me with dread... What's going on with the website???

Uh oh! I fear the launch of the Batman and Hornby collections, may have knocked the 2000ad Collection off the news stands. Checked two places that usually have it and nothing!

Hoping it's just a post Xmas/New Year delay!

Sounds like it might be one worth picking up if things go according to plan!

Just finished Brothers of The Blood. Best volume since the last Tour Of Duty book. Hadn't realised there was another clone in the shape of Dolman!

Wondering if we now have a full set of Vienna stories? Though can't recall if we've had her first outing yet?

Is Mad City looking like it'll be an Oola Blint volume?

Apologies for interrupting the flow of this thread - just wondering if the two 'Tour of Duty' volumes in the mega Collection are exactly the same as the old Rebellion editions, or if they have extra / different contents? I am enojying the luxury of being able to choose which of two excellent trade collections to pick from to build up my own ideal Dredd library!

They're different. The Hachette volumes include more material from the Meg. There's also a third volume leading up to the events of the other two, still to come. Hachette as they are, not bothering to release stuff in order!

Over on the Facebook page, a poster reports they've been told by Hachette there's going to be 90 books. Small extension perhaps?

Thanks, my local Smith's that used to stock the MC had the latest Marvel issue on time. Seems strange that the MC's been held up!

Has Undercover Brothers reached Forbidden Planet yet?
