COMPLAIN! Why are we the last to know on related 2000AD stuff??

therev · 09 September, 2004, 03:53:59 AM

Ok we've all said it but can we make our voices heard and say why is it that THIS site is the last one for up to date 'Tooth news (most of the stuff I hear is eaither from 2000AD review or Comics International), I know there has to be an eliment of surprise for a weekly comic but come on Rebellion pull your finger out!
Also the shop could do with tweeking in me own 'umble opinion. I want to be able to buy ALL my 2000AD related stuff through one site (picky I know but...) why can't I get the bobbleheads (1st read and seen in Forbidden planet cataloug 2 months ago) or the novels???

AAAARRRRGGH!

I have money I want to spend and because I can't get the stuff from the people who make the comic I'm not buying!

Your thoughts please o'boarders...

a 2000ad super store would be cool

Floyd-the-k · 09 September, 2004, 07:30:29 AM

I too would like more tshirts. A lot of the covers would make terrific tshirts

I agree with the news element.

The Rogue game shots, bobbleheads, which ahave already been mentioned, the Shaun of the Dead poster from HMV.

We, as commited fans, and perhaps the most obvious ones,always seem to be the last to know about anything.

ARRISARRIS · 09 September, 2004, 01:03:37 PM

...yeah, like this new strip with the Shaun of the Dead DVD only at HMV, ok so i've been lucky and havent bought it yet, but how many have or will and then relise about the extra???...

I suppose with some of the news, giving an outside party an exclusive allows publicity to reach people outisde the diehard fans. Us mugs are going to buy this stuff regardless and there's a wider audience out there.

A tip-off aboutb the HMV/Shaun of the Dead comic might have given a few 2000AD fans a break, and made more money for HMV. Unless 2000AD would rather those comics went to non-2000AD fans of course, as this is a promotional event.

Still, the news service on the site is poor. I'm sure more casual 2000AD readers would stop by if it had up to the date news.

As someone who's a bit of a casual reader, I have to say I never read Tharg's weekly Nerve Centre missive, so if it's not in sparkly big pictures folks like me won't know about it.

mondocoyote · 09 September, 2004, 04:15:43 PM

reissues of the really early 2000ad tshirts. Id buy one.

Woolly · 09 September, 2004, 05:13:18 PM

It seems a bit daft when 2000ad's OWN BLOODY WEBSITE is the last thing to have up to date news, etc.

C'mon, Tharg, sort it out man!

IndigoPrime · 09 September, 2004, 05:58:30 PM

As a subscriber, I'm rather hoping the SotD comic makes its way to me one week, seeing as we've had those dodgy "rock" ones (Placebo, et al).

as long as thry were printed properly, unlike how they were then

Worst thing about the free comic with the dvd is that HMV aren't even advertising it from what I can gather, and they'd put the price tag over the sticker telling you that you got one. Would have been extremely pissed off if I'd gotten it elsewhere because I didn't know. And I'd love to see some really old school t-shirts in the web store.
