3rd July 2024
ATTENTION, EARTHLETS – 2000 AD Prog 2389 is OUT NOW!
I am The Mighty Tharg, cosmic source for all that is zarjaz — join me on a galactic journey!
We slip into July, and as we become fully embedded in the holiday season it’s fitting that this week sees the release of 2024’s 2000 AD Sci-Fi Special, a self-contained 48-page issue that’s the ideal accompaniment to your vacation travels, which features some of your favourite characters from the pages of the GGC. Or does it…?
For this year’s summer special has some rather unusual variations on the standard line-up, plucked from an alternate reality when the strips fell through a nearby interdimensional wormhole. In that universe, top cop in MC-1 is Judge Alpha, a mutant given Special Dispensation to enforce the law; alongside him you’ll find the Robo-Sharks, a pair of stone-cold guns-for-hire that hunt missing or malfunctioning droids, undead aeroball team the Harlem Zombos, dread pirate captain Stickleback, and wanted Search/Destroy agent Friday otherwise known as the Rogue/Dog.
It’s the mash-up to end all mash-ups — don’t miss it! Meanwhile, this prog contains the double-length final episode of the Proteus Vex saga — an alien extravaganza unlike any other!
2000 AD Prog 2389 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!

BRINK // CONSUMED, Part Twelve
The late 21st century, and through environmental catastrophe and industrial overload Earth has been reduced to a wasteland. Mankind finally evacuated the planet in 2072 and millions were housed in a number of deep-space Habitats. But life on these cramped, overcrowded stations is tense, often spilling over into madness. Sects are rife, and Bridget Kurtis of the Habitat Security Division is investigating their reach…
ROGUE TROOPER // SOUTHER BELLE, Part Four
Nu Earth, site of a galactic war between the Norts and the Southers, where the atmosphere has been rendered poisonous.

Together with biochip buddies Helm, Gunnar and Bagman, they’re searching for the traitor that sold them out. Now, they’re seeking to save a G.I. ‘Doll’…
PROTEUS VEX // DEVIOUS, Part Fifteen
The far future. The centuries-long war between the Alliance and the Obdurate people is over, a conflict ended when the Alliance teleported a dying white dwarf star into the Obdurate system.

In the wake of the war with the Scorchers, Vex has been presumed dead, but he’s alive…
