2000 AD Prog 2408 out now!

ATTENTION, EARTHLETS – 2000 AD Prog 2408 is OUT NOW!

Call me The Mighty Tharg, all-powerful alien editor of this brain-frazzling SF anthology!

Welcome back, my Thrill-hungry humanoids, to your weekly blast of graphic excitement — here in the pages of the Galaxy’s Greatest Comic you’ll find the finest in future and fantastic fiction, courtesy of my supremely creative script- and art-droids.

We’ve got historical horror in Nightmare New York, deep-space adventures in The Out, gritty war action in Rogue Trooper, surreal escapades in Azimuth, and of course more law enforcement at the hands of the zero-tolerance Mega-City cop Judge Dredd. No other title on the shelves gives you such a consistently zarjaz line-up — I’ll stake my Betelgeusian reputation on it!

We’re at the midpoint of November, which means it’s only a month until the gargantuan Xmas issue Prog 2413 looms into view, and most of the current stories will be barrelling towards their finales in the coming weeks. But it also means I’ll start teasing what you’ll be finding in the end-of-year special, tantalising your diodes ahead of the big day — and don’t forget you can pre-order #2413 from shop.2000AD.com!

2000 AD Prog 2408 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!

Mega-City One, 2146 AD. Home to over 200 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, while he waits for a perp to be disarmed, he’s taking a tour of Cursed Earth settlement Squatsville…

THE OUT // BOOK IV, Part Eight

The furthest edge of the universe. Cyd Finlea was a photo-journalist working for the publishers Global Neographic, travelling deep into outer space — otherwise known as THE OUT — and cataloguing the alien societies that she encounters.

NIGHTMARE NEW YORK // PART EIGHT

Lower Manhattan, 1845. Paradise Square is at the centre of Five Points in Old New York, where five street corners meet. The early days of the North American metropolis are marked by a mix of poverty, organised crime and hardscrabble lives, where ragpickers rub shoulders with Christian missionaries. Young Lil, living rough on the streets, has just turned eighteen, and is in the clutches of devil-worshippers because of her powers…

AZIMUTH // THE FABLED BASILISK, Part Three

Welcome to the city of AZIMUTH, a data-driven metropolis, where anything is possible. Ruled by an aristocracy of the New Flesh, such concepts of life, death, and body-forms are fluid. The New Flesh masters have been troubled by strange dreams, which seem to have predicted the coming of a stranger — none other than Ramone Dexter, who’s teamed up with Psi-Judge Cassandra Anderson to save Downlode…

ROGUE TROOPER // WHEN A G.I. DIES, Part Eight

Nu Earth, site of a galactic war between the Norts and the Southers, where the atmosphere has been rendered poisonous. So the Southers created the Genetic Infantrymen, bred to be immune to the pollutants — G.I.s like ROGUE TROOPER, the last of his kind. Together with biochip buddies Helm, Gunnar and Bagman, they’re searching for the traitor that sold them out…
