PROG 2242 out now

BORAG THUNGG, EARTHLETS – Prog 2242 is OUT NOW!

We bid you galactic greetings, Squaxx, as we thrust another thirty-pages of circuit-shattering Thrill-power into your eager, grasping hands. We know that many of you impatiently await this time of the week, hungry to get your sticky pseudopods on the latest pulse-pounding prog and catch up on the next instalments of our zarjaz roster of stories, so we won’t take up too much of your time with our verdant preamble.

Perhaps you’ve already breezed past and immersed yourself in Judge Dredd, as Joe investigates a series of badge-slayings. Maybe you muttered ‘Ta ta, Tharg’ as you flipped quickly to deconstruct the hellish action of Aquila instead. It’s possible that you simply couldn’t wait to consume the cosmic chaos of Department K and brushed these words aside like so much Quaxxann crumble.

It could be that, in the fight for your attention, our editorial emanations couldn’t compete with the intriguing developments in Sinister and Skip Tracer. If so, then perhaps the blame lies with us for assembling such a damn fine prog in the first place.

And those of you that are still here? Get reading, slowpokes! Do you need an invitation?

Home to over 160 million citizens, this urban hell is situated along the east coast of post-apocalyptic North America, with the irradiated wasteland known as the Cursed Earth to the west. Unemployment is rife, boredom universal and crime is rampant. Tensions rest on a knife-edge and only the zero-tolerance Judges can stop total anarchy.

AQUILA // The Rivers of Hades //Book One // Part Five!

Following Spartacus’s failed revolt against his Roman masters, his rebel army was crucified. Amongst these was the slave-turned-gladiator AQUILA, who cried out to the gods for vengeance — and was answered by Ammit the Devourer, a deity that gifted him with immortality in return for keeping her fed with evil men’s souls. Now, Aquila has travelled into Hades to seek out the spirit of Nero, who knows Ammit’s location…

But members of the cult the Valox are trying to destroy the multiverse…

SINISTER // Bulletopia Chapter Five: Its Own Devices // Part Two!

Gun-sharks Finnigan SINISTER and Ramone DEXTER were the best hitmen money could buy in the future city of Downlode. Having whacked Holy Moses Tanenbaum, a ganglord from an alternate dimension, they found killing him reset the continuum, meaning no one knew who they were. But now a rogue A.I. is at large, which took control of Sinister, forcing Dexter to kill him. While Dexter flees with Carrie and Billi, Sinister has been resurrected…
