According to the shop, the next volume of Anderson stories has got Half-Life, WMD, and City of the Dead, but not Lucid:

The first three stories were part of that massive story arc illustrated by Arthur Ranson, where the head of Magick in Psi Division was trying to make himself immortal. Lucid is also by Ranson, and I was wondering if anyone knows if that is also part of the same story line? Because it it is, it will be pretty annoying to have an incomplete story and have to wait a year for the ending in volume 5.

In fact, looking at the reviews of Meg 241 (last episode of Lucid), it has the Sisters of Death in it, which leads me to think that it is indeed part of that same storyline, since the Sisters were in the Half-Life story too.

Really looking forward to this one as its the start of the Anderson stuff I don't have as it appeared in the Meg's I don't have. Be a shame if its not complete but you gotta think there's a reason, though its probably just that it'll appear in the next one.

Those listings though are they accurate as Barney has City of Dead appearing in Megazine 231 - 236, not the Prog, the issues of which listed here have the story Witch which appeared in the last volume (I think?)

You're right -- I hope the omission of Lucid is only a mistake too.

Don't worry, it's not really related to the Half-Lfe arc. Shakta's in it, the Sisters of Death are in it, and that's where the relevance ends.

My copy arrived this morning. This is the first Psi-File that I have managed to read cover to cover in one sitting. In the case of volumes 2 & 3 I managed to get half way through before realising that I really wasn't getting into it and deciding to come back to it at a later date. I have never read Half Life before and it was ace. What kind of goodies can I expect in volume 5?
Whatever happened to Rico, Dolman and Cadet Paris? I'm sooo out of the loop.

The return of Shako, Bill Savage and the Space Girls! :o!

Wow! this was great.

It's too bad that it didn't follow the other 2000AD volumes & have the credits before each story. I got kinda lost as to when a story would end & when the new one began.

I really liked this a lot. This is the first complete collection from Dredd and Anderson that I've re-read immideately again.
