Intestinauts is a lot of fun but I think that first Moore Skizz story wins it here.

[Tyranny Rex]

Read both of these for the first time fairly recently. Far preferred Tyranny Rex

sinister dexter vol 4 contains the following

Looks like they're basically following the content of Meg floppies 374-375. I'd guess the next book(s) wiill continue with the stuff that was in floppies 376-379. Wonder how much stuff we'll get after that, would be nice if this collection could bring us roughly up to date.

If that includes the Kot run, I'll be cherry picking that for sure.

I don't think there's much else it can be is there, we got all the Smith stuff in the MC didn't we?

Quite looking forwards to this entering it's 2nd round. This first round has had so many obscurities that there's rarely been a draw where I've read both stories. Indeed there have been plenty where I've read neither (and from the comments I think it sounds like that may be for the best).

Saphir will be replacing The Out. The original was a 3riller running in prog 2197-2199. So it will be most likely be another 3riller rather than a full series.

Was that the one with Rees Mogg in it?  Seem to remember it was quite good as 3rillers go.

While I get why they wanted to highlight the Ben Wheatley quote it does rather spoil the space in that image. Still gonna buy one. Which more series got the HC treatment like this.

It's been a hell of a run, long may it continue.

This got asked on FB:

2000 AD: The Ultimate Collection

The cover artwork for Issue 52 and Issue 111 is by Carlos Ezquerra and the Editor made a conscious decision to use the same artwork for both issues. This was due to there being limited alternatives by the artist and as Ezquerra's art appears exclusively throughout Issue 111, the Editor wanted the cover to be his work as well.
We hope you understand and that this will not detract from your enjoyment of both issues.
Thanks!

Which doesn't really add up to me - I struggle to believe there weren't alternative choices of Ezquerra Stront art but there we go.

[Strontium Dogs Vol 2:]

My guess for the next 2 Strontium Dogs books is something like:

Strontium Dogs Vol 2: Garth Ennis  (181)
Monsters (60)
Return Of The Gronk (48)
How The Gronk Got His Heartses (12)
The Darkest Star (61)

Strontium Dogs Vol 3: Peter Hogan (213)
Crossroads (18)
Mirrors (18)
The Alphabet Man (18)
High Moon (48)
The Mutant Sleeps Tonight (6)
Deals (24)
Hate & War (43)
Night Of The Hunters (38)

Yep mine just arrived to.  Reading the intro to Strontium Dogs I note:

...Gothlord, an encounter that will have ramifications for Red in the stories that follow in the next couple of volumes

(emphasis mine)

...in the next book Ennis will join forces with Steve Pugh and Nigel Dobbyn...

Sounds like 3 books of Strontium Dogs/Durham Red. Next one will be the Ennis stuff from the 90s. I guess the 3rd will be the Peter Hogan run. Which stories follow on from Island of the Damned?

Feral and Foe, Diaboliks and Scarlet Traces were all close to making the list. Slaine looked beautiful but lacked substance.

The last I haven't purchased but only because I want to know if we're getting more of Deadworld in the Hachette collection before spending my £s.
