If you are interested in Continuity, I'd say go for that one too. The art is pretty good and there's some pretty interesting stories there too.

no there aren't he is kidding you.

I scour every day for about ten DU's.

Armor is pretty cool.

OTV should do a mandatory reading of "Deathwatch 2000" like was done with Unity and the Malev War. DW2K was a direct result of the success of Unity, so it makes sense to break it down as a comparison.

Sadly, reading it will hurt . . . real bad.

And incomplete - the last Chapter was never released.

would it have made any sense even with a last chapter?

Who knows - Adams could have had an epiphany and pulled out one heck of a plot twist out of his *SQUEE* at the end and it all make sense.

I am always on the hunt for utraverse / tekno/ defiant on the ebay and occatioanlly valiant.

Ebay Uk has alot of buy it now at stupid prices ~ so I cruise auctions only and occationally someone has stuff up that is cheap. I bid low ~ as Draco and Drift have got me going to the London comic marts ~ so that has become my price guide.

I cannot convince my compatriots to crack open an Ultraverse book. I will have zero luck with Deathwatch 2000.

I do have all the cards, though...

Black September. It's more than a crappy name ... it's a variant cover.

Does anyone remember where that preview book came from?

Tweaked the wording on the checklist quite a bit. I'm going through visually and verifying stuff, changing things like "alternate cover" to "Ultra Gold Limited Edition" so it matches the wording on the covers.

Also, "Warstrike Prelude to Godwheel" wasn't on the list. Should it be under Warstrike or Godwheel?

Any questions, comments, concerns?

List under Warstrike - other than one panel on page 20 where he goes on the wire and sees a possible future (Where Argus & Odin can be seen) and mutters thunder - there is where he and Lord Pumpkin vanish at the end of the book to connect it to Godwheel. Then again most of the characters who appear in Godwheel disappear in the pages of their own book as well but none of those are mentioned as "Preludes"

The Eliminator Black Cover post is back up. For reals this time.

Good call, that's what I settled on. I also added another Conan book. The three I know of are Conan 4 (comic), Conan the Savage 4 (magazine) and Conan vs. Rune 1. Didn't you say there was a little flashback in Conan 5? Did it have art or was it just a mention?

There is a flashback in Conan 5 where Conan is actually reminiscing about facing Rune. Rune appears in one panel as well. 2 Panels if I remember correctly for the whole flashback.

dep, write this down how you would like it reflected in the list and I will add it, bro.

Conan 4 (comic), Conan the Savage 4 (magazine), Conan vs. Rune 1, Conan 5

That order ?

Conan the Savage 4 takes place much later - Conan is King in the tale that takes place in that issue

Conan vs. Rune: 1

I left a comment with somewhat on-topic facts!

Also, I googled "Ultraverse" at work and your blog was the third entry on the first page after Wikipedia. Then I come home and run the same search and you are on the bottom of the fourth page. I guess it helped that I had checked your blog through google previously at work.

Conan vs Rune happens between Conan 4 & 5
