blue is black in those comics It's bizarre how that sometimes gets forgotten over time - like Spider-Man's costume being red and black, not red and blue. Andy |

Venom is sometimes colour blue or purple to show off the difference between his limbs because the white spider logo doesn't show it. (that's just to link to Spider-man talk)

Why can't people learn the meanings of words like "definitive" (Oxford English Dictionary: of a literary or artistic work etc.: setting a standard; authoritative, reliable, complete) and "ultimate" (beyond all others, final, absolute, beyond which no advance can be made) before using them in the titles of things?
Edit: Also misused: "essential" (absolutely indispensable or necessary)

Edit: Also misused: "essential" (absolutely indispensable or necessary) Martin I am sure they understand it, but whoever is in their marketing team is not going to go for honesty in the title. They'll be trying to shift as many units as possible, so will say whatever it takes that they can get away with from a legal standpoint. Andy |

If it reprints everything that could be reasonably called "G1" (at least in relation to when it starts publication, you have to make allowances for them making for after its done, even with extensions), then it pretty much is definitive isn't it? even if it leaves stuff out it still could be argued easily to meet a lot of the criteria (if there's no other one series of books that reprints more then it has set a standard). Not really a horrible misuse of the words anyway.
nice to have dates anyway, though am I reading it wrong or am I confused as the different links seem to be suggesting January and February launch dates?

Even restricting to a definitive collection of just Marvel Dreamwave and IDW "G1" material we still probably wont get a definitive collection.
For completeness I suppose we'd need both versions of US material that was modified for the UK. Man of Iron in B&W, colour and US colour, UK strips in B&W and colour. Thers the 3D comic was that Marvel? The bonkers German comic was Marvel too wasn't it? Theres the Marvel book series. And for the true experience I'd love to see at least some of the letters pages reproduced especially the few that relate to Dreadwinds Xmas.
Has anything been said about if the annuals will be included?

I should imagine annual material will be included. They already have some of the text features from T:2006 in them so if they are bothering with those annual stories will get in.

Edit: Also misused: "essential" (absolutely indispensable or necessary) Martin *Nods sagely* Yep. It annoys me too. It shall be added to the pile along with "box sets" (should be "a set of boxes", a set of things contained in a box is a "boxed set") and "mash potatoes" (which is "mash" as a verb, not a noun. "Mashed potatoes" are potatoes that have been mashed, "mash potatoes" is the action you take to produce the aforesaid) Karl |

What drives me into frothing rages are Sky ads for 'box sets' for digital copies of series. That is not a £$£$£$ box set! It does not physically exist in the form of a box!

Hoe do you feel about downloading a 'book' then? Language evolves and co-opts words.
But I do draw the line at mash/mashed. Just lazy.

Yes, I agree. Language evolves and the meaning of words change. This does not mean that in my old age I can't get annoyed about it. Got to have something as my "get of my lawn" material. :-)
(Also, book never exclusively described a single method of presentation. For example the "Go Ni Ri" is known as the "Book of Five Rings", but was in fact composed of a set of scrolls rather than a bound volume. Similarly with the tibetan religious text known as the "Book of the Dead". So I'd say that it has a wider historical useage than the verb "boxed".)

Language evolves, but if you give an existing word a different, or diluted, meaning, then you need to use a lot of words or invent a new word to describe the old thing. So if book no longer means sheets of paper stuff with words or pictures bound together and sitting on my bookshelf, but can also means e-books, then if I want to tell someone "I collect books," I now have to say "I collect books and by books I mean sheets of paper stuff with words or pictures bound together and sitting on my bookshelf."
If definitive and ultimate and epic and essential and literally no longer mean definitive and ultimate and epic and essential and literally, I would argue we need new words that mean what definitive and ultimate and epic and essential and literally used to mean.
Any suggestions?

1991 was radical, before we knew about free radicals being radicalized.

There's a feedback seeking questionnaire on the bottom of the main website page now, I'd suggest getting in there to demand the series be renamed The Totally Sick and Radical G1 (Though G1 as a title that is a retcon which doesn't specifically apply to everything in this collection) Collection.
