Got my subscription copies. 98 Contains 1-7. Furman intro, covers plus four page interview with Ruckley. 1-7? They really include the first issue to a new plot arc? That seems absurd. I had to go and check, but yes it's right. The arc that follows 12 is five issues long I think. Could they be pushing to ten in the second book? If they were doing that though they could have put eight in 98. I see Galaxies first story is only four issues. Maybe they're just gonna mix the whole lot up. |

Maybe they're just gonna mix the whole lot up. You know, maybe they are doing it like this to ensure sales for the follow-up issues. Looking at the next 2 issues on Hachett's site, issue 99 is 160 pages. Since each comic is only 20 pages of story, 20x5=100. This leaves 60 pages for bonus material, and I doubt there would be that much. More than likely, this would also have 7 comics, leaving 20 pages for bonus (covers, foreword, etc). Issue 100 is also 160 pages, indicating at least the first 6 comics. Somewhere in here, probably issue 99, the Valentine's Special would be thrown in. Who knows, maybe after a break they will keep releasing their own volumes of upcoming material if the interest is there. And there's still a bunch of crossovers they could reissue. |

Listing for #100 finally on Hachette, cover and that.No more clarification on how they're handling these issues, other than all three of the final books showing page counts as 160, which should be eight 20 page US sized issues. But since 98 was seven I guess we'll just have to wait and see. Not long now.

Four - count 'em! - looooong years after it all started. This is a marathon I never want to run again for anything EVER. #ItNeverEndsSob |

Grabbed a spare copy of G2 Part 2 when I spotted one. Annoyingly, when shrink-wrap removed I found tops of first few pages glued together, resulting in some minor page damage. But if the FP copy I ordered doesn't show up, it'll do.

I can go for that, if no one else has an urgent need.

Apparently so, though I've not been able to pick mine up yet. Reina on the Facebook group has it and it's #7-14. I reckon Constructicons Rising is going to be #15-17 and Galaxies #1-4.. which is annoying, because that will end us 3 issues (#18, Galaxies #5&6) short of the two volumes IDW have released so far, so we won't be able to just pick up with the third one. Annoying, but entirely not surprising.
In other news, it looks like they actually did a reprint on Revolutionaries to put the intro at the front where it's meant to be, as Chris Ginger received a copy last week. I've messaged Hachette and will see what they say..

I've messaged Hachette and will see what they say.. Re: issue 99 I assume you mean 99 contains 8-14, since 7 was in the previous volume. It looks like the final 3 might have 7 issues each. 98: 1-7; 99: 8-14, and 100: 15-17 plus the 4 issues of Galaxies. They could stuff an extra issue in (#18) to have 8 total in the volume, but as it is not part of the "Change in Your Nature" arc, they may not. They could also put the Valentine's special somewhere. I wonder if they are hoping on continuing to release new volumes infrequently to keep up with the current material? It could be an alternate to IDW's volumes for you fans across the pond, and IDW makes money either way I assume. It may also keep hope alive to get some of the stuff that wasn't reprinted yet. |

The won’t continue it, not sporadically anyway. That’s not their model. They cut and run. See: Dredd collection, now a few years gone.

Re: issue 99 I assume you mean 99 contains 8-14, since 7 was in the previous volume. Oops, yeah that's exactly what I thought I'd typed.. It was late haha. Yeah, pretty sure 100 will be 7 issues too. |

On the vol 100 cover, does anyone know the source of the Devastator image? Obviously it's in Galaxies 1-4, but I'd like to know the exact issue. Thank you.

My FP G2 V2 copy has been dispatched today, so I have a spare if anyone needs one. Mine arrived this morning. Happily, this copy doesn't have any pages glued together. So, collection complete, consisting of volumes 1-20, 29-30 and 89-92. Martin |

Nothing beyond the intro and cover gallery. Thanks Tomwe. After the final volume has been released, I'll probably go through the full list again for consistency. |

Ah, glad you got it. I just got mine and was coming on to tell you haha. Put it on the shelf and, while I was pretty sure this was going to be the case couldn't be sure until the book was actually there, I've ended up with a bloody gap that's too small for the final issue. Most annoying.  |

Others shelved behind. |
