PROG 2348 OUT NOW out now
ATTENTION, EARTHLETS – 2000 AD Prog 2348 is OUT NOW!
Alien editor Tharg The Mighty here once again, delivering Thrill-power to your needy circuits!
Things are coming close to wrapping up in this prog, as we hit the penultimate parts of Judge Dredd thriller A Fallen Man, Azimuth, the 3riller Die Hoard, and Hershey’s elegiac outing The Cold in the Bones. Add to that a complete Future Shock, Fear & Loathing of Las Vegas, by the Hartley and Currie droids, and it’s an issue thrumming with sheer momentum. Be here in seven for multiple finales across the board!
Indeed, be here in a fortnight and you’ll have the pleasure of diving into the zarjaz Prog 2350, a bumper outing so expansive that it spills into Meg 460 too, which is on sale the same day (yes, like the zombie spectacular last year, you’ll get the most from the experience if you purchase both titles). So what’s the theme of 2023’s scrotnig special?
Well, long-term Squaxx will be aware that both Starlord and Tornado were merged with 2000 AD, bringing with them select characters such as Strontium Dog and Blackhawk. But what if, in an alternate past, Battle Action folded into the GGC, and the likes of Major Eazy, Hellman and El Mestizo joined the SF line-up? What then, Terrans? What then? Stay tuned!
2000 AD Prog 2348 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!

FUTURE SHOCKS // FEAR & LOATHING OF LAS VEGAS
Out in the vast reaches of the universe, there are an infinite number of stories waiting to be told. These cautionary tales pass from traveller to traveller in the spaceports and around campfires on distant planets, acquiring the status of legend, their shocking ends a salutory lesson in hubris. Anything is possible in these twisted trips into the galaxy’s dark side. Abandon your preconceptions, and expect the unexpected…
AZIMUTH // THE STRANGER, Part Six
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. Anyone can take any shape, if it can be conceived by the imagination. The New Flesh masters have been troubled by strange dreams and portents, which seem to have predicted the coming of a stranger — none other than Ramone Dexter…
THARG’S 3RILLERS // DIE HOARD, Part Two

Seriously ill from a microbial virus, she’s faked her death to deal with his legacy, and now she’s returned to MC-1 to see out the case…
