hmmn, I tent not to buy trades of stuff I've already got but some of these Rebellion releases are gonna make me do it. First I've got Cabs coming because its such a cool story but damn if i hate pulling out back issues every time a new run starts. An dthat Dante book might be a must have for me which will mean splashing out on the first ones, oh well less food for the next couple of months!!

Looking forward to JD: The Complete Case Files 4 & JD: The Hunting Party, especially as I've never read The Hunting Party Before.

Not too keen on JD: The Art Of Kenny Who?, for some reason, I never could get into the Kenny Who stories.

Releasing JD: Complete PJ Maybe is a bit cheeky as we had most of the PJ stories in EE:2 not so long ago!

Bloody hell, Strontium Dog: Portrait of a Mutant again! Will pass on this as I've already got the Titan version from 2002.

I'd love Rebellion to give Strontium Dog the Case Files treatment and release all the stories in chonological order and then I'd definitely buy them.

What happened to the Nemesis graphic novels proposed a short while back?

*twich*

I suggested that Nemisis should get the "Casefiles" treatment a few months ago. AMAZING news.

Seriously, Rebellion's trade line continues to blow my mind. They already take up nearly all my TP buying budget, and I don't see that changing any time soon. It's great that for like 90% of the releases it's all new to me (a great benfit for being new to the the 2000AD brand)

Oh man, I am totaly looking forward too...

Judge Dredd: The Art Of Kenny Who?
Alan Moore: The Complete Future Shocks
Judge Dredd: The Complete Case Files 4
Judge Dredd: The Hunting Party
Judge Dredd: Complete PJ Maybe - (yeah, I got EE #2 and the Meg's with the recent arc, but I'm a sucker for this more permanent editions)
Nikolai Dante: Tsar Wars - (HA-CHA!)
Bec and Kawl: Bloody Students
Rogue Trooper: Realpolitik
Leviathan
Storming Heaven (or F. Irving Collection?) - (I'm, not really sure what this is....Info?)
XTNCT: CM ND HV G F Y THNK YR HRD NGH!
Strontium Dog: Portrait of a Mutant

I also hope that between now and Stront's next relese, Rebellion gets the idea to just go with a Casefiles format, yeah it sucks that we'll have to eat the DC/Rebellion TP of the Early Cases...but if it means getting a collection with The Starlord era stuff, The Early Case and Portrait of a Mutant...I'd say that'd be worth it. And since Nemisis is getting the treatment, that means it's no longer exclusive to Dredd.

Storming Heaven (or F. Irving Collection?) - (I'm, not really sure what this is....Info?)

Storming Heaven was a strip serialised in 2000ad a few years back, beginning in prog 2002, IIRC. The story concerned LSD-enabled Superheroes having a rave in San Francisco, then it all goes tits up. It was a great premise for a story, but unfortunately it was over way too quickly, not giving it enough time to develop, and it was a bit of a disapointment, as Tharg had hyped it up a fair bit.

It's primarily remembered for Frazer Irving's wonderful, wonderful artwork. Imagine a superhero comic drawn in a psychedelic 60's era Jimi Hendrix Experience poster.

A Euro Hardback of Storming Heaven has been mooted for ages, but now Rebellion are going to go one better and release it in a paperback volume, along with A Love Like Blood and From Grace (Both of these were also drawn by Irving) in a 'The Art of Frazer Irving' Collection.

NOTE TO REBELLION: STICK REEFER MADNESS IN THERE AS WELL - YOU KNOW IT MAKES SENSE!

Oh, Adventurer can you help me out with this? I got EE2 as well, but haven't read the most recent PJ Maybe strip. Can you (in a non-spoiler way) confirm whether there will likely be more PJ Maybe stories in the future? Will this gn really be a 'complete' Pj Maybe?

:: now Rebellion are going to go one better and release it in
:: a paperback volume, along with A Love Like Blood and
:: From Grace

Which is good, seeing as ALLB really needs collecting and From Grace reads far better in a single volume. As for Storming Heaven, I just thought it was like a '00s Zenith?a vacuous pop take on a classic strip?and was utterly throwaway and forgettable.
