2000 AD Prog 2398 out now!

ATTENTION, EARTHLETS – 2000 AD Prog 2398 is OUT NOW!

Welcome to a world of Thrills as I, Tharg The Mighty, energise your imaginations once again!

Surely he couldn’t, could he…? Is that Judge Joe Dredd on the cover, a riot blaster under his chin, threatening to pull the trigger unless the Mechanismo robots stand down? Well, yes it is, and as to what the outcome of the stand-off will be… well, you’ll just have to steel your Thrill-circuits and read the ghafflebette final episode of Machine Rule contained within this very pulse-pounding prog. Also ending this issue is the current run of Rogue Trooper — but, fear not, the G.I. will be back in a fortnight — and we reach the penultimate parts of both Silver and Herne & Shuck!

All of which means we’re close to clearing the slate ahead of the scrotnig Prog 2400, which downloads into this reality on 18 September. Like previous event issues, this is a special that will cross over into Judge Dredd Megazine 472, out the very same day, so make sure you have your order in place if you’re not a regular Meg reader, as you’re not going to want to miss the complete story.

When the Norts invade the 2000 AD multiverse, the results are going to be galaxy-shaking — the countdown to war starts now!

2000 AD Prog 2398 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!
