The Ghost in the Shell Collection

Public Security Section 9 are a counter-terrorist unit that risk life and cyberized-limb in their daily dealings with specialised cyber-crime and data theft in a futuristic Japan. Each of the different versions is subtly different from the one that preceded it or came after, but they’re all 100% recognisable as GitS. The stories can sometimes be difficult to grasp, but they’re never wholly impenetrable. You can approach them from an action-orientated perspective, or you can delve deeper and engage with the philosophical questionings of self that underpin many of the situations. Either way, the team dynamic is ever-present, functioning as a stable point of reference.

The HAMMER Dracula Collection

I confess that I really ought to have titled this a 'Vampire Collection' because, technically, while I consider them a part of the franchise, two of the films included (numbers 02 and 03) don't feature the Count, but I wanted very much to use the above picture and font, so logic be damned.

01. Dracula (1958)
02. Brides of Dracula (1960)
03.The Kiss of the Vampire (1963)

The Judge Dredd Collection

Judge Dredd made his début in issue two of Britain's weekly 2000AD comic, back in 1977. Since then he's become synonymous with the title and it's impossible to think of one existing without the other.

The character has been used in the likes of RPG tabletop gaming, video games, novels and even audio dramas, but to date there's only been two films made and of those two there's only really one that managed to capture some of what made the character popular in the first place. You'll find them both below, with links to relevant posts on our other Nut sites.

The .hack//Collection

The .hack// stories can be layered and engaging multi-part adventures or simplistic one-shots as plot-driven as a colouring book. That’s one of the potential consequences of spreading something over many different mediums. But if you’re a fan then you’re a fan and nothing anyone says will change your mind. I know that first-hand. All the Nuts have to offer about the World is linked below:
