There are 74 episodes of Missionary Man and it would have to be on the nice paper to accommodate the color pages, so that'll probably be a two-book set.

But there is one Red Seas trade - it has the first three stories in it.  They need another volume - probably two more to bring them up to date.

What happened to the American Missionary Man collection?  I was really looking forward to that.

Can we ever get a new edition of Devlin Waugh: Red Tide with all the lettering intact?

I preordered the eventually canceled Cursitor Doom collection from Bear Alley and got one of the handful of printer's proofs that snuck out.  That's probably my rarest book.

I've been trying to make sure I get two of these up a month and I seem to be doing okay!  Anyway, short version, it's a great book full of lovely stories and you can read a little bit more about it here.  Then go buy a copy yourself!  Makes a great Christmas gift!  And tweet me and stuff!

Diamond is going all a-screwy again.

DREDD # 303 arrived in stores today.
FIENDS arrived one week ago.

No sign of ZOMBO or PROG PACK 1705-1708 here.

I didn't order M-C MASTERS 2.  Anybody seen it through Diamond yet?

Lovely artwork.  Can Dr. What? travel into the Millsverse to fix any lingering Nemesis/ABC Warriors continuity issues as well?   :lol:

Van Dom and locusts also had the same problem that I did, thinking that Globis and Morbe were the names of two aliens.  That's an issue whenever you introduce characters in long-shot like that.

PJ's "make it look like Earth" advice is really insightful.  I wouldn't have considered that!

If the July 2010 book's genuinely meant to contain the grand finale, then my guess is that Dante will be back in late February or early March, probably after Ampney Crucis...?

Also worth considering, Book Nine contained 29 episodes' worth of material (the one-off from Prog 2009 was triple-length).  Since "Lulu's War," there have been... 29 episodes' worth of material, so they could just publish book ten now if they wanted.  Obviously Book 10 will need to be a bumper volume, but my guess is that we're looking at closer to 10-13 more episodes, and not too much more than that.  Otherwise, if they're planning a big, six-month, 26-week mega-epic finale, why not just publish it across eleven books and make a little more money?

I have trouble telling who's who as well.  It doesn't help that Globis and Morbe's skin color is so close to the color of the ground behind them, but it's always tough when you introduce characters in long shot, via word balloons.

I don't get the end, either, but I did figure that the helicopter landed with the baddie on it.

Thanks, Richard!  Both new readers are welcomed with open tentacles!

Quite liked Dandridge, even if there is a whiff of Austin Powers about him.

<pedant>No, there's a whiff of Jason King about him.</pedant>

Spurrier plugs Numbercruncher over at his blog - it's set for ten 8-page episodes.

Sounds pretty delightfully demented!
