Surprisingly Hatchette have updated their website today and 173/175 is Scarlet Traces 2 and 174/180 is Anderson Psi Div:NWO.

According to Matt Smith's intro, there is more Lawless coming in 2024, so may be enough pages for UC issue 200?

So where does this new book take the story through to?

Megazine 389-394 Breaking Badrock, 400-409 Ashes to Ashes and 415-423 Boomtown.

For those interested in such things, issue 172 is Spine 170.

Issue 172 is Lawless: Breaking Badrock.

Source is Hatchette website, dispatch note on my account.

To my mind, Stainless Steel Rat is the only great strip missing from the first five years not included so far. Using the term classic to mean old, rather than great, then there is still MACH 1,Tharg the Mighty, Ant Wars, Angel, Disaster 1990, Death Planet and Mind of Wolfie Smith. As there is already a precedent with Robusters and Blackhawk, surely we will be getting a Strontium Dog from Starlord volume? And then maybe we'll get other stories from Starlord and Tornado who didn't cross over in to 2000ad. Or maybe those final 20 odd unannounced volumes will mostly contain content from the past 30 years, but hopefully not much from the 90's. Or just loads of Dredd!

167 and 168 arrived. From Kingmakers intro it states: this volume contains the first three stories, with the creative team working on a fourth, due to appear in the Prog during 2024, entitled 'Drawing of the three'. Was that already known?

[++SPOILERS++]

Death Rock also listed within the Harry 20/Dead Men Walking volume, I've not heard of that, can anyone offer a brief synopsis?

Well, ++SPOILERS++, but the FCBD #5 (2015) had Death Rock posit the notion that the escapees from the original Rock have crash-landed on a deadly planet. It was played as a stealth-reveal, though - so it's not until the final page that we realize the concrete connection.

It was written by "Barry Krishna", so don't be holding out hope for a sequel.

Many thanks!

Just noticed the DD volume has a misprinted credits page that relates to the upcoming Harry 20 collection. The DD volume contains the first 51 Progs.

For the final time this year, and earlier than I expected, latest Hatchette volumes safely arrived (165 Survival Geeks and 166 Dan Dare). Merry Christmas one and all!

Strange, I've just gone to have a look at the covers on Hatchette and it only goes up to 165, so assume it's been taken down, or I'm looking at a cached copy.

It's here under Graphic Novels: Coming Soon.

Ah, thanks for the link. Weird that 167 has the same cover as 165 (at present).
