You can stop when you hit Chronicles 27 but then you have to get a copy of every other 2000ad GN out there ;)

Takes up a lot of room believe me.

I just assumed it was her boss who had been injured in the attack. I didn't notice the connection until I just read the above post.
Shows how much I cared about the character.

"During the Apocalypse War, Dredd never really sat on a nuke and rode it into East Meg, but it was a good cover!"

And Dredd wasn't standing up roaring in rage with a nuke going off in the background standing higher than citi-blocks in Total War either but it makes a good cover ;)

I meant that in another occasion that other one would make an amazing cover.

Total War does seem to have been truncated by a fair bit (even though we're not finished yet) but then maybe this time, unlike other occasions like Inferno we're actually going to see more of the repurcusions of the nukes this time? We could have a whole slew of stories showing us the rebuilding, the anger in the community, the lack of housing, allsorts of things. It's a great opportunity, one we haven't really had since the Apocalypse War. Remember things like the Superflea, the Mushroom Man? All great stories that led from that war.

The small figure one was my first choice too but then it would be inaccurate as Dredd was on his Lawmaster when it went off.

So Simon, are you going to start selling off your artwork?

I'd just like a series of GN's of all the Future Shocks.
Not like they're going to be reprinted anywhere else and theres 387 of them! Loads of scope for a series not just a one off.

Ebay rules say the seller can claim back their final value fees from Ebay after 7 days.
And I'm pretty sure the rule is contact is supposed to be made (by the buyer stating how they are paying)within 3 days. Whenever I've had problems with my email I've at least sent them a message via the ask seller a message service or notified them through the invoice system.

If Ebay had a proper system the person you negged could quite rightly get that neg removed. 11 days is too long. You could have sent a cheque and had it processed in less than 11 days.

He could also say you not paying him his ?2.70 as you thought it was a trival amount is ridiculously petty.

But I don't give negative feedback unless something is really bad, think in 4 years I've done it once and a neutral once too. After all feedback isn't compulsory, can always leave it blank. But then I've generally been rather lucky with most of the things I've bought.

Amazon sucks but then it's not like you can actually buy them off this site either.

Very true.
Makes you want to buy it anyway doesn't it?
Half decent price as well.

I wonder if anyone at Rebellion has taken Wakes advice and will get it kicked off?

I got an email from him as well.
I'd be more happy buying from him if he accepted Paypal. Not that this piece is really my thing but he's got more that I might be interested in.

And especially good if you get the stuck up person you hate something incredibly rude ;)

I got musical socks last year and chocolates the year before. My boss got a calendar of nearly naked men from, we think, her boss! She loved it though :)

Anderson - What a pile of crap and an utter waste of time.
If Anderson is going to be used then make it a proper story. The Mars story looked amazing and wasn't too bad but didn't really go anywhere and this half-life thing was a pathetic attenpt at a story. Mind you not the sort of artwork I expect either.
Again yet another story that might only make more sense in a GN (I hope not, unless it's part of a massive volume to dilute it's badness down), seems to be a bit of a theme these days.

I think one thing that the Total War stories have been missing has been the actual impact of nukes going off in a community. Obviously it's a small bit of a city city but maybe an extra issue showing the effects of maybe the second one (the big Ezra Pound one?) onthe people, the anger that it fostered, the actual physical damage to the sector (the showing all the evacuees roasted was good but you could have filled a whole episode with repercusions)and actually show the whole reason why Total War (the normal members that is) and the people can be so against the Judges. But all that is mainly missed out.
Getting better though :)

Again like many series now (Devlin Waugh as another example) it doesn't hit home so much when you read it weekly or monthly but it'll make a wonderful GN.
Maybe a week short, in that the new world or the power of Holt was given a proper showing.

Asylum 1 had more impact I think, I'm also wondering why on earth the aliens weren't just massacred as soon as they landed, religious nutters found out or not, after all it is what happened in the end anyway.

Boo Cook's artwork is wonderful though, still want to see his take on some other characters, well known ones as well as new ones (the Lobster Random cover was perfect as an example)

Not your fault Wake.

I'm seeing how many I'll get given for Christmas anyway. Just as well my dad knows how to order stuff online from Play and Amazon as he wouldn't be able to find them in Borders et al.

As an aside, does anyone know which section in Borders these new ones are supposed to be filed in?

Kinda Dead Man's in it? Nice.
I've got all bar one page of that artwork.
Makes it worthwhile buying collections of stuff you've already got when theres something else added in.
