They are reprinting the classic Ant Wars series in February, with bonus content from Si Spurrier.

13^th December 2000AD X-Mas Prog 100 pages, which will answer what became of Star Lord?

And Angela Merkel – or someone very similar in looks – will appear in Brass Sunday.

The Definitive Ken Reid Faceache collection is out next month with an Alan Moore introduction – rare for Rebellion these days.

Von Hoffman's Invasion, Book One, will be out in May promising old school madness…

And Charley's War: The Definitive Collections will have less arty and more comicky covers than last time these were collected by Titan, with original colour spreads reinstated, for the 100^th anniversary of the end of the First World War, with a lower more accessible paperback price.
