I'm never safe. Not on here at any rate. What is safe? Safe is not being anywhere near Phil or Ralph when they've decided to spend your money for you.

Me too. They’re not reprinting the first two so this run is for those who want to complete the set only I’d say! But they are lovely books, worth the high price!

It's nice to see comics in newsagents and the Shift crew are doing a good job, they had three separate titles in Smiths last week, so I thought I'd show willing and bought the Pat Mills one because I was quite surprised to see it in a shop. Space Warp. It's a thick comic printed on decent stock with some nice art, more content than a megazine for an equivalent price, but... it's bloody awful.

Order 4 box of goodness arrived today (Summer Magic, Shako, Button Man, Steel Commando, The VC's). Very nice. Partials of orders 1-3 have shipped. I bet the Rebellion warehouse is being hammered with orders. Hopefully arrive Monday or Tuesday. Building up a nice stockpile to get through at Chrimbo.
Will there be an order #5 from the sale come payday? Who knows...who knows...

Re-read the Button Man collection. That first story is still an all time classic. I do enjoy the sequels, but something special about that first one. Wagner and Ranson absolutely knocked it out of the park.

I've not read Button Man in yonks so I really should track down a copy.
I got the first volume of Dreadnaughts this week. Like 'The Judges' novellas, it's good stuff (admittedly, it's one of those that reads better collected than the monthly installments in The Megazine, but it's really grim (and given the setting and the subject matter, who can bloody blame it?)

Partials of orders 1-3 arrived. Packing slips did not have their usual "to follow" note so a friendly and polite email to Customer Services about the missing 11 items methinks.
Yeah, this pile alone is enough to read for now before the rest of the orders turn up. Now safe from the sale!

My copy of Webshop exclusive HC 3rd world war came with a bashed corner even though it was packaged well. This was last week and it took them until now to get back to my query: sadly the book is now sold out. I got a refund and, sure can still read it, but a bit annoyed tbh.
