About this deal
The Ultimate Collection forms a stunning library brings you the best stories from forty years of Britain’s biggest comic, from Judge Dredd to Rogue Trooper, from The Ballad of Halo Jones to Strontium Dog and a galaxy of Thrills in between!
That’s not to say that it doesn’t include fantastic work, the format is lovely, the back matter is always worth a read, although production control has occasionally gone awry. Notwithstanding personal taste, the initial run was of high quality, but since then and with notable exceptions admittedly, quality has slipped a bit. Like the Judge Dredd : Mega Collection before it, the Ultimate Collection has gone for quantity rather than quality. AD: The Ultimate Collection takes you to the multiple future-shocked worlds of the Galaxy's Greatest .
Collect the definitive stories from the Galaxy’s Greatest Comic in one exclusive hardback graphic novel collection with 2000 AD: The Ultimate Collection! The series is made up of 80 volumes (later increased to 111) featuring some of the biggest stars of 2000 AD's 40 year history.
From Celtic warrior Sláine to swashbuckling Russian rogue Nikolai Dante, no fan will want to be without this greatest hits package that delivers four decades worth of thrill power!The run has now included extensive (though mercifully sticking mainly with the slow paced but high quality Gibbons/Simpson reboot) runs of the “Friday” version of “Rogue Trooper”, “Mean Arena” never a classic, “Blackhawk” and seemingly endless “Sinister Dexter” volumes add padding. it represents great value for money, despite featuring none of 2000 AD’s most well known characters it is representative of the best of the Progs over the past 20 years and what it can offer. Elephants in the room include “Summer Magic / Journal of Luke Kirby”, “Zenith” (likely due to rights disputes), and notable creator owned (at least originally) work such as “Button Man” and “Scarlet Traces”.
