My issue of Previews has arrived which lists the 2000AD Ultimate Collection in the Previews UK section.

Book 184 will be Strontium Dog The Starlord Years. Here is the synopsis:
In the Twenty-Second century, lawlessness has spread out across the stars. Enter the Search/Destroy agents--mutants warped by Strontium 90 fallout, they are feared and despised by the 'norms', but they have been sanctioned by the Galactic Crime Commission to track down the most dangerous criminals in the universe. One such 'Strontium Dog' is Johnny Alpha... Scripted by John Wagner and illustrated by Carlos Ezquerra, this stunning volume collects the early Strontium Dog stories published in Starlord!

In case people were in any doubt, I just received the following message:

Yes, unfortunately the 2000AD collection is excluded from the January sale I'm afraid.

That is strange as I bought some older books in the collection in the sale. I noticed at the time that it didn't work for the newer ones. I have just tried it again and now even the old books can't get the discount. How strange.

I'm wondering if it's possible to collected the full runs of the main 2000AD strips (Dredd aside) through this collection. I am thinking of the stories like Strontium Dog, Slaine, ABC Warriors etc. I have to ask because I know 'The Hit' was excluded from the Rogue Trooper volumes and I had to 'double-dip' with the Tales of Nu-Earth publications. Is the same the case with other story lines for the main characters?

I thought I'd ask here because I assume there are some of you who have read the collection from the beginning.

Welcome to the board. The collection has a complete run of Slaine, a very nearly complete run of ABC warriors (just the rojaws deadlock story missing), Strontium dog is nearly complete (missing the starlord stories and "A sorry case") but note you need to get the first strontium dogs volume for that.

For other key stories it is mostly complete but it is missing a lot of the lesser "reboots" like Mark Millars Robo hunter and most of the Rogue trooper "friday" stories. Check the wikipedia page for the collection for a listing of the contents.

Thank you for the welcome. That is really helpful. And that is better than I expected for completeness. I am aware of the Wikipedia page but it is hard to know from the listings what is missing if I've never read the stories myself. With regard to the Friday stories it looks like it's the same content as the standard graphic novel so I assume you mean there are unrepublished out there as well.

Hello everyone. I started this collection late and I'm wondering if it's possible to collected the full runs of the main 2000AD strips (Dredd aside) through this collection.
