Tharg is great! Great news for NA readers.
« on: 06 October, 2011, 03:19:57 PM »
Just saw the front page of the 2000AD site. The prog is going weekly in NA. No more avoiding the review section for spoilers.

Huzzah Tharg!

Weekly, but a fortnight behind - so you'll still have to avoid the spoilers, I'm afraid...

Bugger. Got too excited over the fact it was going weekly and missed that point.

Now there's no excuse for our American cousins not to pick up a Prog!

Spread the word guys! :D

You've never had it so good! ;)

They were a fortnight behind before the Prog Pack experiment so no complaints from Stevie there.

Well, sometimes it got even further behind then that, but yeah. Anything is better then being several MONTHS behind like we are now. The drokking AUGUST PACK is only just arriving this week (that's progs 1745-1749). I've got a huge hunch that 1754 (the first US Weekly Issue) may even turn up before the SEPTEMBER PACK (1750-1753) arrives. Just call it a wacky hunch (1754 just came out this week in the UK. So... that means it should turn up 2 weeks from now in the US. So exciting).

I really REALLY hope this works out. Getting a copy of 2000 AD every week is a very exciting prospect. Since I've never had to read it that way before.

Stevie's prior experience was that you'd get 2 progs once a fortnight. About once a year Diamond would skip a fortnight & you'd get 4 at a time.

Still better than progs dated a couple of months previous surface freight through the Aussie newsies at a comparable price.

Diamond practice of shipping Prog Packs up to 3 months late & not necessarily in the chronological order combined with the  terminal illness of a loved one has resulted in Stevie not reading the prog regularly since Robbie Morrison was dumping guano all over that mutie jezebel.

Everything up to & including the August Prog pack (which incidentally shipped to Auxtralia a fortnight ago) is patiently his attention like a vertitable Antartic plateau of thrill-power in his spare room.

A return to a new prog in otbit every Wednesday that Stevie knew from primary school all the way through university would be a simple, ineffable joy.

No progs on this week's shipping list for the Adelaide Comics Centre. Shall we be expecting Prog 1754 next week then?

Diamond allegedly shipping September Prog Pack to Auxtralia this week.

No mention of Prog 1754 but either Flesh Dino Files or Tank Girl: Carioca #1 make up for that in not so much as spades but a battalion of Terrameks.

The inclusion of Casefiles 18 is noted without further comment.

According to my North American Shipping list; September Prog Pack, Prog 1754, Flesh Dino Files, Casefiles 18, and Tank Girl Carioca 1 are shipping this week.

Looks like I lost my '1754 before Sept Pack' pool. Though I personally won't get my Prog pack until latter this month. As I switched comic shops a few months ago, and my old online shop is still working its way through my late running orders. 1754 is my first Prog through my local shop.

My life is very complicated.
Note: Not very.

Stevie’d be holding off until the boxes are unpacked before calling that one Adventurer.

Just wanted to say I just picked up my first weekly prog, 1754. Thank you Tharg. I'm sure other NA readers will be picking theirs up today too.

Welp. Prog 1754 was shorted by Diamond. So we're off to an auspicious start.

But Tharg's Terror Tales Presents Necronaughts & A Love Like Blood turned up unannounced.

Diamond/Rebellion wackiness ever continues.

Adelaide Comics Centre received Prog 1754 despite not being invoiced. Stevie made a point of informing Mikey & Mr Pete that any potential new squaxx best pick up the September Prog Pack also.

No sign of TTTPN&ALLB though.

I don't know about that, my shop got 1754 but no Sept pack yet!
