I've seen it listed on the "Forbidden Planet" website.

So is it now available?

The first one that is.

Extra art, that sounds cool. But I'm mainly interested in seeing the cover art included, espiecally when it's covering bother pages.

As for the Uk and Usa versions, which ones will make their way into Australia.

Another concern of mine is because of the nature of artwork with all it's fine detail and all, it may suffer in quality upon it's second printing.

Hi- all,
        Though I'm new to this forum, I've been lurking round here for quite awhile.

Being a on and off conniessuer of this publication, I haven't really managed to get my hands on all of the progs. My main interest was Slaine when I first started collecting, though I have developed a fondness for Judge Dredd, Strontium Dog, Rogue Trooper, Nemesis & the other regulars.

Lately I have become obsessed with getting my hands on pretty much all of the Slaine Saga. Well all of what happened before 'The Horned God' ( This has been mostly covered in the lately released graphic Novel 'Slaine: Warriors Dawn', barring the 'Dragon-Heist' chronicle.) & most of what happened after it, ( This stuff seems less essential to before 'Horned God') doesn't seem as important right up to ' Slaine: Book Of Invasions '. Which I believe is interesting though untimely as it illustrates the demise of Balor & Niamh, plus the art work is very eye catching.

Now, I have managed to obtain most of those in particular but not all of the them. I have a bit of 'Moloch', most of 'Golamh', all of 'Scota' the last issue of 'Tara' & again most of 'Odacon'.

I have tried re-ordering the missing issues through my local newsagency/comic book store, but they haven't got back to me on that one. I was wondering about the possibility of reprinting that Saga as it's own graphic novel, so many others as well as I, can have a second chance at seeing this full chronicle. I think it would do good in that regard & with all the funky cover art as well.

Pretty please.......

From a loyal reader.

Yes, I have.

I tried to like it, but I see it as something that doesn't offer anything to earlier films.

I remember reading somewhere that Brian Singer wanted to make a movie that would a be great addition to the first movie.

No, I saw the movie, and I don't think so.

All my worst fears about the actors appearance, the altered costume and even the look of the city of metropolis turned out to be true.

 It's the Superman movie trying to imitate a Batman movie and succeeding in just doing that. But that bad thing because it doesn't really fit. Not without incuding Batman and that still wouldn't improve things.

The movie doesn't stand alone, nor should it be seen to be standing with the other Superman films.

Yeah, in terms of power Superman is unbalnced.

Everyu crooked person should carry around a lump of Kryptonite just for the sake fairness.

I haven't seen the movie yet, but I have seen the part where some guy points a gun at his face and shoots him point blank right at his left eyeball.

The bullet crumples on impact and bounces off.

That's tough kryptonian eyeballs.

Fair enough, those first two queries seem alittle silly now since I posted them.

BUt imaigne what might have happened if they arrived enmass on Earth.

Just another thought, Isn't it ironic that they imprisoned General Zod and his two croniesin the phantom zone just before ( Moments, hours.) the big bang.

Saving their lives.

While they themselves all perished.

Though I am impressed with what was done, this time around.

 I still think Brandon Routh, as he is can't be the Superman that Christopher Reeve was.

He lacks the definitive superman strong square jawline. Though, with todays spiecal effects wizardry you could still combine that with the same actor and get away with that, I reckon.

I have noticed that the costume is darker. I looks subtly more evil. My father describes it as metallic looking. ( A new Kryptonian Fashion.)
It has gone the way of Batman having a dark rubberfied costume and I don't think that was ever nessasary.  I thought the older and brighter costume colours were good enough. It was never broken, so why fix it.

Oh the subject of the Richard Donner version.  have few queries about the mythology behind Superman as it has been presented on the big screen.

firsty, when Mr and Mrs Superman ( I forget the screen names.) foudn out that thier sun was gonna go nova and destroy their homeworld. So they decided to build small spaceship so their son soon to grow up to be Superman could escape safely. With their superior intellect, why not build a fleet of ships or many of those pods.  (Slightly larger for adults or a small family) so they could all survive. It doesn't seem like the sort of thing that may have been beyond them.

Though right at this moment I do believe that they did survive through the green crystal ( Given to baby Superman.)and the actions of Superman himself ( As he established himself on Earth.) I would however like to hear few other opinions offering more that just the fact that just it seeemd like a great idea at the time and it's not meant to that realisdtic.

Secondly, That Green Crystal. Isn't that techically Krytonite and when teenaged Clark Kent discoveres it in his own barn yard. He's not adversely effected by it at all. Though It's never really pointed out and I have before now always taken this for granted. Of course, it's probably cuase that it was not part of Krypton when it the plent exploded anwas not exposed to the same element that may have made it dangeruos to Superman.

Thirdly, I had always though it strange how Superman family crest or signature emblazoned on his chest resembles the letter 'S'. S for Superman.

What I mean is that his wholesomness may be taken as IN-appropiate for one such as Darth Vader.

I guess if they waited this long for Jake Loyd to grow into the role. Yet he does have that entirely wholesome look about him that may be in appropiate for the old Annikan.

Is that young Annikan all grown up.

Who thinks they should have kept him on?

Who reckons he would have done better as Darth Vader himself?

About Han Solo, I don't like the idea about him having family ties with Boba Fett.

I have just read on the wiki that the 'Millinium Falcon' did make appaerance in the 'Revenge of the Sith ' movie.

I didn't realise this was such a old thread.

I just like to add how Obi-wan might have almost been Luke and Leia's real father.

It might explain the sudden rift between him and Annakin if he started to get suspicious all tghose times Obi and Padme were alone together.

Was Obi-wan present at the twin's birth when Pad-Me died?

I have also wondered if Obi-Wan had been used as a source for the Cloners. I'm pretty sure there might have been a chance for him to organise some sort opportunity to make copies of himself. There might have been lots of them even.

Might explain his influence over some of the Storm Troopers ( Directly descendent from him.) in the Next Star Wars movie ( Fourth Installment: A New Hope.) When two Troopers flagged him and luke over in their hovercar near the Cantina at Mos Eisly. He's not really using force persuasion. He's just a natural with his own kind.
