OUT TODAY: 2000 AD Prog 2030!

Welcome to the latest scintillating issue of the Galaxy’s Greatest Comic, where sci-fi, fantasy and horror collide on a cosmic level!

With a new cover by Brink co-creator INJ Culbard, 2000 AD Prog 2030 is a singularity of zarjazness, the very best of graphic excitement boiled down into a stunning 32-page brain-blaster!

There’s more awesome action courtesy of Defoe, Scarlet Traces, Brink and The Fall of Deadworld, plus we have the start of a scrotnig brandnew Judge Dredd story Sons of Booth by T.C. Eglington and Nick Dyer, a rather pertinent tale of marginalised radicals who fervently support a return to the good old days.

When Robert L. Booth was introduced to the Dredd strip back in 1978, and established as the last POTUS, who initiated the Atomic Wars that decimated much of the globe, who could possibly have guessed how close the similarities would run to America’s current regime?

(Well, Tharg the Mighty did, since he’s in the business of prediction and is All-Knowing and All-Mighty, but nevertheless… gives you chills, doesn’t it?)

But cheer up, Terrans — what better way is there to see out nuclear Armageddon than with this pulsepounding publication? Grab your rad-suit and enjoy!

2000 AD Prog 2030 is out now from all good newsagents and comic book stores, plus digitally from our webshop and apps!

JUDGE DREDD // SONS OF BOOTH
by TC Eglington (w) Nick Dyer (a) Chris Blythe (c) Annie Parkhouse (l)
Mega-City One, 2139 AD. Home to over 72 million citizens, this urban hell is situated along the east coast of post-apocalyptic North America. Unemployment is rife, poverty widespread, and crime is rampant. Tensions rest on a constant knife-edge, and only the zero-tolerance Judges — empowered to dispense instant justice — can stop total anarchy. Toughest of them all is JUDGE DREDD — he is the Law!

DEFOE // DIEHARDS
by Pat Mills (w) Colin MacNeil (a) Ellie De Ville (l)
1671. It is five years since London was devastated by the Great Fire, the inferno caused by a comet passing over the capital, and from the ashes rose the undead, hungry for the flesh of the living.

BRINK // SKELETON LIFE
by Dan Abnett (w) INJ Culbard (a) Simon Bowland (l)
The late 21st century, and through environmental catastrophe and industrial overload Earth has been reduced to a uninhabitable wasteland.

SCARLET TRACES // COLD WAR
by Ian Edginton (w) D’Israeli (a) Annie Parkhouse (l)
1968. It is several decades since Mars waged war on Earth, and the major nations have access to Martian-derived technology. Britain, however, is still recovering from Martian bombardment in the 1940s, when much of the south of England was destroyed. This was followed by the arrival in the 1950s of two million Venusians, seeking refuge from Martian occupation. Now, the Martians are planning to wipe out the solar system…

CURSED: THE FALL OF DEADWORLD
by Kek-W (w) Dave Kendall (a) Annie Parkhouse (l)
The planet that eventually became known as DEADWORLD was once a regular civilisation existing in a dimension parallel to our own. But the end of days is coming: riots, storms, food shortages. Creatures known as the Dark Judges are spreading their contagion, exterminating all life. Judge Fairfax and his ward Jess had been making for the old Chief Judge’s bunker to hide out in, but local militia have plans for them…
