Best Non Regular publication or merchandise

Gavin Hanly: As I missed out on the last line of 2000AD figures, I felt I had to get my hands on the latest pair, so I'm going for the Judge Dredd/Death figures. Sure, they have their faults (Dredd won't...bloody...stand...up) but they were pleasingly intricate versions of Mega city's finest and worst.  Here's hoping that more will follow in 2008.

James Mackay: I’d like to sound all detached and objective about this, but… I can’t!  It’s clearly the awesome yellow “League of Fatties” T-shirt that I’m proudly barely fitting into right now!

Adam Crabtree: Can’t say I’m much of a merch-head. I can’t get as excited over a plaster cast of Dredd’s vs. White-boy Rockefeller (crazy eyes) as some. But there’s no end to the joys derived from continuing graphic novel collections. Case Files continue to bring us retro thrills en masse, my favourite being The Complete Nemesis the Warlock Book 1; Pat Mills at his most vital and art from Kevin O’Neill that, to this day, has little with which to compare.

Apart from that, and this is tenuous now, but Simon Spurrier’s first “proper” novel, Contract, was the badger’s nadgers, a fascinating and sharply amoral piece of work that I won’t soon forget.

Charles Ellis: the trade paperback program. From the weighty Case Files to collections of Khronicles Of Khaos and Simping Detective, it’s been a good year for trades.

Robert Cornell: Pricey and hefty but worth the cash and the hernia, it's gotta be Thrill Power Overload. This mighty tome looked gorgeous and read like a thriller as 2000AD survived the efforts of publishers, editors and the Dictators of Zrag to emerge intro the 21st Century triumphant.

A stonking good read and all the credit in the Galaxy to David Bishop for bringing it all together.

Alex Frith: What else but Thrill Power Overload? An awesome, awesome book. Thank you, David Bishop.

Daniel Payne: Rebellion continue to produce an excellent line of graphic novels; The Complete Nemesis the Warlock stands out as the leading collection this year. The set of three handy volumes gives readers access to one of 2000AD's best stories in it's entirety for the fist time.

Pete McCosh: Rebellion’s TPB line marches on, relentlessly churning out top quality reproductions of classic stories ancient and modern, but the one that got me most excited this year was EE 20: Revere. I hadn’t read the story itself for years and it was fantastic to see Harrison’s art cleaned up and looking madder than ever.

Ultimately, the story didn’t live up to my memories of it, but I appreciated the chance to find that out. I love that they have both the channel – through the Extreme Editions – and, more importantly, the will to put stuff like this back out and let people make of it what they will.

WR Logan: By far the best graphic novel of the year came just before the years end with a wonderful design, inspired packaging and a great read: Droid Life.

Martin Charlton: Durham Red vol. 3: The Empty Suns. For being awesome when read in trade form, for having fascinating back-matter from Mark Harrison, and for including The Scarlet Apocrypha. A classy package that will no doubt under-perform at retail. Also, would make a great present for the Evanescence fan in your life…
