2000 AD Prog 2392 out now!
24th July 2024
ATTENTION, EARTHLETS – 2000 AD Prog 2392 is OUT NOW!
I am The Mighty Tharg, all-powerful alien editor of this universally acclaimed SF anthology!
New stories abound in this ghafflebette issue, Terrans — first up, we have the start of a Judge Dredd thriller from the always-popular creative combo of John Wagner and Colin MacNeil, Machine Rule, that looks again at the Mechanismo question. Long-term Squaxx will be well aware that the idea of robots passing judgement has been a controversial one in Mega-City history (new readers would do well to check out collections like Mechanismo and Machine Law if they want to get up to speed), but recently the Mark 8s have been regular presence on the streets. But what if they decided they were doing a better job than the human Judges…?
Also commencing this prog is the first full length series of Herne & Shuck from David Barnett and Lee Milmore, after their previous appearances in a pair of 3rillers in Progs 2297-2299 and 2343- 2345, still trying to find a safe place to take young Carys, pursued by various folk-horror entities.
And we have another complete Future Shock, from the Peaty and Mutti droids, joining Brink and Silver. All in all, pure Thrill-power, my humes!
2000 AD Prog 2392 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!
