OUT NOW: 2000 AD Prog 2149

Cover by Glenn Fabry & Karen Holloway

BORAG THUNGG, EARTHLETS!

Everything wraps up this issue, Terrans, as we reach the final instalments of the current Dredd, Jaegir and Sinister Dexter thrillers — joined by a spooky oneoff Future Shock from the McCann and Fabry droids — which means that a whole new roster of stunning stories commences next week in the bumper Prog 2150.

Alongside Judge Dredd: Guatemala and Defoe: The Divisor, be prepared for the next arc in the Brink saga, Hate Box, by Dan Abnett and INJ Culbard, the latest dispatch from The Fall of Deadworld, Doomed, by Kek-W and Dave Kendall, and the return of private detective Mallory Hope in Under Fire by Guy Adams and Jimmy Broxton.

Add to that a complete Anderson, Psi-Div tale by Alan Grant and Jake Lynch and much more, and you have an unmissable jumping-on prog!

Alas, there is some sad news to impart too — artdroid Nigel Dobbyn tragically died of a heart attack two weeks ago, at the age of fifty-six. A regular presence in these pages in the eighties and nineties, drawing Medivac 318 as well as series like Trash and Strontium Dogs, he was an enormously accomplished artist. A full obituary will be published in Meg 413, but for now our condolences to his family and friends.

2000 AD Prog 2149 is out now from all good newsagents and comic book stores, plus digitally from our webshop and apps! Don’t forget that if you buy an issue of 2000 AD in the first week of its release then postage in the UK is free!

JUDGE DREDD // THE FALL OF BARBARBARA GRIMM – Part Four

By Mike Carroll (w) Nick Dyer (a) Quinton Winter (c) Annie Parkhouse (l)

Mega-City One, 2141 AD. Home to over 130 million citizens, this urban hell is situated along the east coast of post-apocalyptic North America. Crime is rampant, and only the Judges — empowered to dispense instant justice — can stop total anarchy. Toughest of them all is JUDGE DREDD — he is the Law! Now, he’s using Mob-compromised Iso-Block tek-maintanance supervisor Barbarbara Grimm to smuggle for Justice Department…

SINISTER DEXTER // NARROW MINDED – Part Three

Dan Abnett (w) Steve Yeowell (a) John Charles (c) Annie Parkhouse (l)

Downlode gun-sharks Finnigan SINISTER and Ramone DEXTER are the best triggers money can buy. Having whacked Holy Moses Tanenbaum, a ganglord from an alternate dimension whose presence threatened the fabric of reality, they’ve found killing him reset the continuum, meaning no one knows who they are, apart from hacker Billi Octavo. Getting back to business means, however, finding the city has moved on…

FUTURE SHOCKS // CONGESTED ANIMA

Mark McCann (w) Glenn Fabry w. Karen Holloway (a) Adam Brown (c) Ellie De Ville (l)

Out in the vast reaches of the universe, there are an infinite number of stories waiting to be told.

Anything is possible in these twisted trips into the galaxy’s dark side, so abandon your preconceptions, and expect the unexpected. Now, Anne Chandler is mourning the death of her husband Daniel in a car crash…

While the Norts are currently engaged in a galaxy-wide war with the Souther forces, it falls to military officers such as Kapiten-Inspector Atalia JAEGIR of the Nordland State Security Police to investigate war criminals amongst her own ranks. She’s also suffering from the Strigoi curse, a fault in the Nort DNA. Now, after being tortured by her Souther captors, Jaegir’s broken free just as her team storm the compound in a bid to rescue her…
