Indeed, Arcee has been quite a big help on the subject; the current 'new' Ongoing's is indeed what I was referring to though.

If you mean the Marvel stuff - IDW has sorta done it (had to skip the Marvel issues containing marvel characters) and are doing them again (with those issues re-inserted) but the colouring is.....well, it's not for everyone. Some people strongly prefer the Titan tpbs. I personally have both, and I like the matte paper on IDW better, but the colour reproduction on Titan more, so I don't really know how that balances out? At the moment, I'm giving the IDW reprints a fair go, and reading the first volume of US (They're also doing the UK material in Classics too. Some stuff Titan never did, which is great).
Checkout my collection here man (3rd last pic), I think you'll be proud ; Have you got the B&W Titan Reprints? - It's my understanding they collect the the very tail-end of the UK stuff - worth obtaining in your opinion?

I can't wait for Earthforce at full size, colour be damned. (Hopefully they'll leave them black and white, but who knows. That's a way off, anyway).
Colour is great, but so can B&W and especially if the line-art is good.

That's sad to hear, I was extremely lucky with my own; both in acquistion (Courtesy of Zippo ) and in production quality.

You're spot on there man, we have very few indeed.

Still waiting on Volume 2 and 3 to arrive (they were sent 2 days later), while I have 6 and 7 on pre order.
Damn!
A very nice narrative haul there GP, congrats!
