Would like to echo what Magnetica said about a Definitive Edition of Slaine - hopefully that can be a very well deserved project for the future?

Just noticed 'Fiends of the Eastern Front: Silent Knight' in the Xmas Prog. What happened to the 'Wilde West (Prologue)' story from Prog 2310? Seems doubtful this is a continuation of that story given the different titles.

Doe anyone know how many different story arcs of 'Kingmaker' we have had so far? (Just wondering if when the Ultimate Collection volume comes out it will feature everything?)

I was in the same position as IndigoPrime regarding 'Button Man', but ultimately felt that hardcovers top trade paperbacks every time and upgraded my copies (the trades are now going to a charity shop). Concerning 'Proteus Vex', even if we don't get everything published up to this point, it will still feature a lot more than the single story arc which is featured in the lone trade - so, at £10.99 a pop, this is also a no-brainer for me.

Wonder how many of the four 'Proteus Vex' story arcs we will get?

General / Repro idea?
08 November, 2023, 06:35:40 PM
I was just browsing on the Internet and came across some new Marvel Comics Library editions which are utilizing some new reproductions techniques. The accompanying blurb states that:

"The most pristine pedigreed comics have been cracked open and photographed for reproduction...Each page has been photographed as printed more than half a century ago, then digitally remastered using modern retouching techniques to correct problems with the era's inexpensive, imperfect printing".

I was wondering whether such a process could be used by 2000ad to improve the quality of some of the older stories which have suffered repro issues along the way? I leave this question open to others who have more extensive knowledge of the matter than I. (But it's a thought at least?!)

I will have to look out for when an updated physical copy is available - I wonder if we will be notified when they are first out??

Do these Regened issues still outsell regular 2000ad progs as I think I read somewhere in the past?

Hackenbush - Which was the Ro-jaws/Deadlock story? I can't seem to place it.

Are we thinking that we might get a reprint of the physical version at some point? Or, is it more likely that just the digital copy will be amended? Being a perfectionist and completist I would by another trade paperback to replace my erroneous copy, but would others do the same?

Sorry Funt Solo - I didn't realise that the latest instalment was also called 'Fiends of the Western Front'. All very confusing as you say; but let's just hope it all gets collected eventually!

Quote from: Funt Solo [R] on 16 October, 2023, 06:44:24 PMIt deliberately doesn't include the new Fiends of the Western Front, because reasons. Also, it doesn't include the very recent Hellman of Hell Force: Fiends of Ungeistwelt Ost - because that's more of a playful name drop than anything.

'Fiends of the Western Front' is included in the Ultimate Collection book, but will not feature in the upcoming Rebellion volume (out in December).

I think I remember reading somewhere quite some time ago that all the content for these Hachette Partworks was selected personally by 2000ad editor, Matt Smith. If this is so and if that esteemed gentleman is reading this (and also providing all the decisions have not already been taken) please could we have a second book of 'The Order'? Pretty please!

I still hold out hope of a second 'The Order' volume to complete the series. It is a lot more deserving of a place than some of what has been collected.
