OUT NOW: 2000 AD Prog 2090

18th July 2018

Welcome, Thrill-addicted Terrans, to your latest weekly plunge into the future-shocked worlds of the Galaxy’s Greatest Comic – 2000 AD Prog 2090 is out now!

Hope on board and strap in, because this very issue contains no less than two stories featuring the problems of public transport, in the shape of Rory McConville and Lee Carter’s Judge Dredd: Commuter Pain, and Paul Tobin and Dan Cornwell’s Terror Tales: The Ticket (they also weirdly both feature protagonists called Marge — what are the odds?). Clearly, some stars have been aligning. Add to that the start of a new series for Grey Area, plus The Order and The Fall of Deadworld, and you have another zarjaz issue for your delight and delectation!

2000 AD Prog 2090 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 to locations in the UK is free!

JUDGE DREDD // COMMUTER PAIN
by Rory McConville (w) Lee Carter (a) Annie Parkhouse (l)
Mega-City One, 2140 AD. Home to 100 million citizens, this urban hell is situated along the east coast of post-apocalyptic North America. Crime is rampant, and only the Judges — empowered to dispense instant justice — can stop total anarchy. Toughest of them all is JUDGE DREDD — he is the Law! Now, a newly opened space elevator for the rich has been hijacked by an ape gang…

THE ORDER // THE NEW WORLD
by Kek-W (w) John Burns (a) Annie Parkhouse (l)
Throughout history, mankind has been under threat of extermination by the Wyrms, creatures from another plane that systematically break into our reality. Defending humanity are the men and women of THE ORDER, a secret band of warriors that have fought the entities across the centuries. But the Wyrms have fractured time, noble robot knight Ritterstahl has been lost, and Anna Kohl is determined to find him…

TERROR TALES // THE TICKET
by Paul Tobin (w) Dan Cornwell (a) Simon Bowland (l)
Experience the terrifying side of Thrill-power with these one-off tales from beyond the veil of sanity. Whether they be ghostly goings-on that send shivers up the spine or guts-to-the-wall splatterfests that sear the retina and paralyse the mind, nothing is what it seems in these glimpses of a terrifying realm beyond our own. When Margie Bolton boarded the black bus, little did she anticipate the journey she’d undertake…

DAMNED: THE FALL OF DEADWORLD
by Kek-W (w) Dave Kendall (a) Ellie De Ville (l)
The planet that eventually became known as DEADWORLD was once a regular civilisation existing in a dimension parallel to our own. But the end of days is coming: riots, storms, food shortages. Creatures known as the Dark Judges are spreading their contagion, exterminating all life. Now, Judge Fairfax is in the hands of the enemy, and his young ward Jess has vowed to rescue him, her team having breached the Sector House walls…

GREY AREA // K.I.A.
by Dan Abnett (w) Mark Harrison (a) Ellie De Ville (l)
Late 22nd century. After the Atomic Wars, many survivors were warped by Strontium 90 fallout. These ‘mutants’ became a victimised underclass, forced into ghettos, with bounty hunting the only job open to them. One such Search/Destroy agent is ruthless vampire DURHAM RED, who requires blood to survive. Out of work and needing cash, she’s been hired by dying mutant ganglord Monkey Harris to find his mother…
