thistlebone book three: the dule tree

The incredible folk-horror that digs deep into your skin: Thistlebone Book Three: The Dule Tree is now available to pre-order!

It’s been over a year since journalist Seema Chaudry accompanied cult survivor Avril Easton back to the village of Harrowvale, where she suffered at the hands of THISTLEBONE worshippers, a crazed occult group that believed in an ancient woodland deity. One man in the village, Malcolm Kinniburgh, was keeping the Thistlebone legend alive — but now he’s dead, and his house is being cleared…

After the death of Kinniburgh, the local Harrowvale constabulary find clues that lead them to investigate the abandoned film production of a 1970s folk horror film, The Dule Tree. Based on a harrowing account from the seventeen hundreds where thirteen innocent women and one man were hanged during the witch trials, the film itself ran into production problems, the source of which has remained a mystery for fifty years.

Out on 11th June 2025, the nerve-jangling third instalment in the critically-acclaimed 2000 AD series is available to pre-order from all good book stores and online retailers, as well as direct from the 2000 AD webshop!

The Complete Shakara is available for pre-order now!

SHAKARA THE COMPLETE COLLECTION

One of 2000 AD’s most unpredictable, visceral and impressive stories, the complete tale of Shakara is now coming to collection into a single incredible volume!

The galaxy is in turmoil. Once a place of peace and order, now a time of terror has descended upon it, with races waging war upon one another unchecked by any authority. Planets, civilizations, even entire star systems face total annihilation or enslavement. But a vengeful figure has emerged from the chaos, striking at targets with a ruthless determination. This alien being calls itself Shakara and it is seemingly bent on wreaking revenge on those responsible for the destruction of its people.

Shakara is the most feared entity in the universe, the living embodiment of a murdered species and an unstoppable killing machine determined to bring vengeance upon those responsible for annihilating a whole species – and not a single entity in the whole of known universe will be able to stop it! The Shakara were thought to be long dead – but retribution is coming from beyond the grave!

Written by Robbie Morrison (The Authority, Nikolai Dante) and featuring the incredible art of Henry Flint (Zombo, Judge Dredd), Shakara is a modern 2000 AD saga, a visually outrageous and impossibly epic tale of shocking violence and destruction!

Out on 19 March, this complete collection of Shakara is available to pre-order from all good book stores and online retailers, as well as direct from the 2000 AD webshop.

The 2000 AD Annual is back!

Christmas just got Thrill-powered again – Rebellion is proud to announce the return of the 2000 AD Annual!

After an absence of three decades, the first 2000 AD Annual of the 21st Century arrives in November – in plenty of time to make it under the tree – from all good comic book stores, as well as the 2000 AD webshop!

This gorgeous hardcover collection will feature a mix of brand new and classic stories from top creators – including John Wagner (A History of Violence), Alan Grant (Batman), Simon Spurrier (Hellblazer, Coda), Dan Abnett (Warhammer 40k), Phil Winslade (Lawless), Fernando Blanco (Detective Comics), Ian Gibson (Halo Jones), Dave Gibbons (Watchmen), Mick McMahon (The Last American), and Emma Vieceli (Life Is Strange).

It will come in two editions with stunning new covers bringing a fresh twist to the annuals of yesteryear – the standard edition will feature a bold, contemporary ensemble of 2000 AD’s greatest heroes by breakout Judge Dredd artist Jake Lynch (Judge Dredd), while the 2000 AD webshop-exclusive edition will have a special retro cover by the legendary Brian Bolland (Batman: The Killing Joke), drawing his first 2000 AD annual cover since 1983!

And, due to popular demand, the 2000 AD Annual will be joined by a brand new Treasury of British Comics Annual!

After the runaway success of last year’s Treasury of British Comics Annual, these new hardcovers are bringing the proud tradition of annuals back with a vengeance for 2025 – guaranteeing maximum enjoyment this Christmas!

Matt Smith, editor of 2000 AD, said: “The 2000 AD Annual was the highlight of many a reader’s year, and often a staple Christmas present. In the past they’ve showcased some of the best stories to emerge from the House of Tharg, and I’m delighted to see the annual return, containing a mix of classic Thrills and bold new strips. I’m sure the 2025 edition will be top of every Earthlet’s list to Santa!”

Both weighing in at 112 pages, the 2000 AD Annual and Treasury of British Comics Annual for 2025 will be available from all good comic book stores in November, with order details appearing in August’s editions of Previews magazine.

They will also be available to pre-order from the 2000 AD and Treasury of British Comics webshops from Wednesday 19 June, with the standard editions alongside special webshop-exclusive editions featuring brand new covers from Brian Bolland and Andreas Butzbach.

“True Detective in space”: discover the slowburn sci-fi horror of BRINK

True Detective in space, if True Detective was written by Philip K. Dick and fascinated by class struggle and labor issues while something ominously big — as in, disappearing planets, big — happens in the far reaches of space… feels like the promises of both Ridley Scott’s Alien and Prometheus fulfilled in ways he couldn’t have imagined” – The Hollywood Reporter

“It’s dizzying, it’s daring, and it’s unlike anything else” – Polygon

“10/10Original, challenging and terrifying” – Comics: The Gathering

One of 2000 AD‘s most original and critically-acclaimed series, take a step into the brink of existence and madness with Dan Abnett and INJ Culbard‘s slowburn sci-fi horror series – available now in five stunning collections.

Earth has been abandoned, environmental collapse and industrial overload forcing mankind to evacuate the planet. Millions are now housed in floating habitats, the human race crammed into artificial worlds, living off synth food and nudge drugs to numb the anxiety of this crowded world on the edge of extinction. These pressure-cooker environments are hotbeds for crime and madness, policed by private security firms. When a routine drug bust goes wrong, no-nonsense Investigator Bridget Kurtis finds herself in a life or death struggle with a new sect of cultists. But evidence begins to point to something far more sinister going on behind the scenes…

Acclaimed by critics and fans alike, Abnett and Culbard have produced a series as full of tension, anxiety and mystery as the orbiting habitats mankind now calls home. A classic in the making, it’s not too late to jump onboard with one of comics’ greatest slowburn series…

Begin now with Book One…
