2nd March 2022

The Penzance Riggers, The Salford Slicers, The Edinburgh Executioners, The Oxford Invaders – their names are legendary but their players aren’t doing so well – because this is The Mean Arena! Volume two of this 2000 AD classic is out now as a digital graphic novel!

This isn’t football – its mayhem, madness and murder: in a dystopian future where the ultra-violent sport street football is played in evacuated towns, Matt Talon isn’t playing just to win – he’s playing for revenge. In the second instalment of this violent, action-packed series, Slater’s Slayers take on the Penzance Riggers, the Edinburgh Executioners, the Salford Slicers and the Oxford Invaders – teams based on suggestions sent in by eager readers!

The second volume of The Mean Arena by Tom Tully (Roy of the Rovers), Eric Bradbury (Invasion!, Hook Jaw) and Mike White (Abelard Snazz) is collected for the first time ever in a digital exclusive graphic novel – available DRM-free from the 2000 AD webshop, or through the 2000 AD app and for Kindle.
