Anyone else get the first issue of the 2000AD Ultimate Collection?

The_Mac

Never read the comics before but I'd heard they were good. Couldn't go wrong with €2.80 for the first issue. Absolutely blown away by the art of Sláine. My only complaint is I wish it was a weekly thing, will take about three years to collect them all every fortnight. Ah well, I'm looking forward to it!

Its a great idea for a partwork collection I justwished that they waited till the Judge Dredd Mega Collection finished first before they released this partwork collection. There is so much great stuff which such variety from 2000 AD over the past 40 years. I think they mention that there will be 13 Slaine books overall in this collection

I have the first 24 volumes of the ultimate collection and am enjoying it. Is the only way to get these in Ireland through the subscription on the hachette website? The site says shop purchases are for UK only. EUR 14.99 vs GBP9.99 seems to be very steep even including delivery...anybody know of a cheaper way of getting these?

There’s isn’t one.

You could always try eBay in 3-4 years?

I'm living in a small town and my local newsagent gets it on the shelf every release day I was in Dublin last week and Easons has it on the shelf. If your wanting to get via post contact Forbidden Planet or Big Bang in Dublin see if they can post it to you.

I was collecting it, had a subscription for it delivered via PM which was a fairly significant saving over the Irish sub price set up a DD to Revolut and it worked fine.

I am a 2000a.d fan but Dredd, Slaine and Rogue trooper would be my main interests.
A.B.C warriors and Waugh would spark my interest too but after looking at the planned books, there is a bit of dross in there that I had no interest in.

I actually cancelled my Subscription a few weeks ago as I managed to pick up a full Judge Dredd collection a few weeks ago via a Judge Dredd/2000a.d group on Facebook for 250.
Absolute bargain.
