2000 AD Prog 2227 is out now!

2000 AD Prog 2227 is out now, with more new Judge Dredd, Thistlebone, Feral & Foe, Visions of Deadworld and Tharg’s 3rillers!

BORAG THUNGG, EARTHLETS – Prog 2227 is OUT NOW!

Welcome, Terrans, to another weekly blast of circuit-shattering zarjazness, courtesy of our crack team of creator-droids.

Ken Niemand and Tom Foster crank up the intrigue in the third instalment of Judge Dredd: A Penitent Man; there’s another eerie trip to the fall of Deadworld from Kek-W and Dave Kendall, this time focusing on a pivotal moment in Judge Ava Eastwood’s life; Seema’s investigation of the Thistlebone myth sees her grip on reality loosen in Poisoned Roots by T.C. Eglington and Simon Davis; Battle Sister Evangelista steps aboard the papal barge and immediately regrets it in part two of James Peaty and Mike Collins’ Chorus & the Ring; and Dan Abnett and Richard Elson have Bode, Wrath and Krodgun venture into Golgone the Necromancer’s lair with typically disastrous results in Feral & Foe.

That’s a scrotnig line-up guaranteed to set your sensors on fire!


There’s some grexnixes that think we take unnecessary overload risks with you Squaxx, but we believe you can handle such cosmic energy — and to prove it, next week is the ghafflebette final episode of Sláine saga Dragontamer. Don’t miss it, humes!

JUDGE DREDD // A PENITENT MAN // Part Three!

Mega-City One, 2143 AD. Home to over 160 million citizens, this urban hell is situated along the east coast of post-apocalyptic North America. Crime is rampant and only the zero-tolerance Judges can stop total anarchy. Toughest of them all is JUDGE DREDD — he is the Law! Former Judge Kyle Asher has recently returned from Titan, having served a twenty-year sentence. But he’s facing a hostile reception…


Script: Dan Abnett / Art: Richard Elson / Letters: Jim Campbell

FERAL & FOE II // Part Four!

It is five years after the Last-of-All-War, when the Monarchy succeeded in defeating the Malign Lord. With their leader dead, his minions are scattered, fleeing retribution from the Wretchfinders. Necromancer Bode and warrior Wrath are two such beings, and were offered a deal — hunt and kill their own kind or be declared FERAL & FOE. Now, they’ve inadvertently swapped bodies…


Script: Kek-W / Art: Dave Kendall / Letters: Simon Bowland

VISIONS OF DEADWORLD // Leigh!

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, and creatures known as the Dark Judges are spreading their contagion, exterminating all life, which they see as a crime. Zombie ‘greys’ are doing their bidding, having consumed the Dead Fluids, and other monstrosities stalk the streets, preying on survivors…


Script: T.C. Eglington / Art: Simon Davis / Letters: Simon Bowland

THISTLEBONE // POISONED ROOTS // Part Seven!

Britain, 2020. It’s been over a year since journalist Seema Chaudry accompanied cult survivor Avril Easton back to the village of Harrowvale, the site of her terryifying experiences at the hands of Jasper Hillman’s THISTLEBONE worshippers, a crazed occult group that believed in an ancient woodland deity. In the process of researching for a book on the Thistlebone legend, Seema believes much of it centres around one man — Malcolm Kinniburgh…


Script: James Peaty / Art: Mike Collins / Colours: Dylan Teague / Letters: Annie Parkhouse

THARG’S 3RILLERS // CHORUS & THE RING // Part Two!

Three episodes, one complete, self-contained story — a condensed hit of super-charged Thrill-power beamed to you directly from the Nerve Centre! It’s the fifty-seventh century, and with Earth a distant memory its people have since spread across the stars. One such group is The Divine Chorus of Freedom, a religious movement based on a ring of asteroids. Now, Battle Sister Evangelista is investigating the fate of the War-Pontiff…

Welcome to your latest scintillating weekly salvo of circuit-shattering Thrills, Squaxx, courtesy of the Galaxy’s Greatest Comic.

We’ve got no less than three new stories in this pulse-pounding prog — Judge Dredd has his bionic eye on a newly arrived

is what it seems in these glimpses of a terrifying realm beyond our own. When Aaron Doplo is attacked by a mystery assailant, he’s only the first victim. More soon follow…

Preview: Flesh: Midnight Cowboys by Pat Mills and James McKay!

We’re very excited to share a preview of Flesh: Midnight Cowboys ahead of its release in just under two weeks’ time! It’s the latest title in our brand new series of digital-only 2000 AD collections for 2021!

Created by Pat Mills, Flesh was one of the original stories featured all the way back in Prog 1, and quickly became a fan-favourite for bloodthirsty readers. Originally running from 1977 until 1979, there was a smattering of stories in the 1990s, but in 2007 the dinosaurs were brought back to life and Flesh was fully revived, and has been a staple of the Prog ever since.

In the original strip, and this – the modern continuation with art by James McKay – time travelling corporations send humans back to the ancient past to farm dinosaurs for meat to feed a hungry future, but the employees of Trans Time discover pretty quickly that their dinner likes to bite back!

You can check out the first four pages of Flesh: Midnight Cowboys below, and it’s out on April 7th – available from the 2000 AD app, as DRM-free download from the 2000 AD webshop, and on Amazon Kindle devices.

The new digital releases will be available from the 2000 AD app for Apple, Android, and Windows 10 devices, as DRM-free PDF/CBZ downloads from the 2000 AD webshop, and on Amazon Kindle devices.

We have more brilliant digital releases coming in this series of collections, the full list includes:

5 May Time Flies – Garth Ennis (w) Philip Bond, John Beeston, Roger Langridge (a)

2 June Slaughter Bowl – John Smith (w) Paul Peart (a)

7 July Aquila Volume II: The Burning Fields – Gordon Rennie (w) Paul Davidson, Patrick Goddard (a)

4 August Bad City Blue – Alan Grant (w) Robin Smith (a)

1 September Firekind – John Smith (w) Paul Marshall (a)

6 October – Dark Justice: Torture Garden – David Hine (w) Nick Percival (a)

3 November – Tales from the Black Museum: Volume One – including John Wagner, Al Ewing, Dan Abnett, Simon Spurrier, John Smith, Alan Grant (w) Shaun Thomas, John Ridgway, Dylan Teague, Rufus Dayglo, Dean Ormston (a)

1 December Durham Red: Born Bad – Alec Worley (w) Ben Willsher, Lee Carter (a)

2000 AD Prog 2224 is out now!

2000 AD Prog 2224 is out now, with more new Judge Dredd, Thistlebone and Tharg’s 3rillers, plus all new Feral & Foe!

BORAG THUNGG, EARTHLETS – Prog 2224 is OUT NOW!

We trust your circuits are fully prepped and your diodes double-shielded, Terrans, as we launch into another zarjaz issue of the Galaxy’s Greatest Comic.

While we have the final episodes of both Who Killed Captain Cookies? and Nakka of the S.T.A.R.S — be here in seven for the start of Judge Dredd: A Penitent Man by Ken Niemand and Tom Foster, and the return of Kek-W and Dave Kendall’s Visions of
Deadworld
— this prog features the double-length opening chapter of the second series of Feral & Foe from the Abnett and Elson droids.

The previous arc ended with Wrath, Bode and Krodgun making a last stand against the forces of Haggart Morn, and Bode
released his malchemical energy, causing a huge explosion. They’ve been missing assumed dead since… find out what happened inside!

Fantasy has the occasional place in these pages, but it’s rarely done straight — Sláine, of course, takes its nod from Celtic myths, and Kingmaker mixes its sword n’ sorcery with SF.

Feral & Foe’s irreverent, humorous approach to the genre’s tropes is typical of how my creator-meks like to come at something
from a fresh angle — it’s the 2000 AD way!

2000 AD Prog 2222 is out now!

2000 AD Prog 2222 is out now, with more new Judge Dredd, Durham Red, Proteus Vex, Thistlebone and brand new Tharg’s 3Rillers!

BORAG THUNGG, EARTHLETS – Prog 2222 is OUT NOW!

Welcome to Prog 2222, in which you might say we have all our ducks in a row — there’s ape investigations in Judge Dredd: Who Killed Captain Cookies?, sinister intrigue in folk-chiller Thistlebone, sci-fi excitement in Proteus Vex: The Shadow Chancellor and bullet-sprayed bad-assery in Durham Red: Served Cold.

Yep, you can’t argue with that zarjaz line-up — but where, we can hear you Terrans imploring, is Sláine: Dragontamer? Unfortunately, despite the best efforts of the Manco art-droid — smoke pouring from his outlet vents as he raced to reach the deadline — we have had to put the climax of the Celtic warrior’s adventures back by a few weeks to allow for the pages to be finished.

So in its place you’ll find the start of a scrotnig 3riller from Brendan McCarthy and Roger Langridge, a retro-future police procedural called Nakka of the S.T.A.R.S, introducing Inspector Nakrosky of the Space Taskforce Armed Response Squad. Expect murder, clones, killer robots and cream teas in the heart of this green and pleasant land!

Be here in seven, loyal Squaxx, for the explosive finales to both Vex and Red!

JUDGE DREDD // WHO KILLED CAPTAIN COOKIES? // Part One!

Mega-City One, 2143 AD. Home to over 160 million citizens, this urban hell is situated along the east coast of post-apocalyptic North America, with the irradiated wasteland known as the Cursed Earth to the west. Unemployment is rife, boredom universal and crime is rampant. Tensions rest on a knife-edge and only the zero-tolerance Judges can stop total anarchy. Toughest of them all is JUDGE DREDD — he is the Law!

Now, while imprisoned in the Hawks-Carpenter Holding Station, she’s been captured by mercenaries…

THISTLEBONE // POISONED ROOTS // Part One!

Britain, 2020. It’s been over a year since journalist Seema Chaudry accompanied cult survivor Avril Easton back to the village of Harrowvale, the site of her terryifying experiences at the hands of Jasper Hillman’s THISTLEBONE worshippers, a crazed occult group that believed in an ancient woodland deity.

Preview: The Mean Arena Volume 1 – All To Slay For!

We’re super excited to unveil a preview of The Mean Arena Volume 1: All To Slay For ahead of its release in a couple of weeks, the latest title in our brand new series of digital-only 2000 AD collections for 2021!

Created by Tom Tully and John Richardson, and debuting in 2000 AD Prog 178, in this Rollerball-meets-Roy of the Rovers game, the highly gifted striker of Slater’s Slayers, Matt Tallon, isn’t just after championship glory – he wants to avenge his brother’s death!

Each team playing this dystopian, brutal sport combining rugby, football and all out street brawls, have their own unique names and gimmicky costumes – with fans of the strip having the chance to write in with their suggestions for team names, which were then written in. Richardson was later replaced by Steve Dillon, who gave the series a cool dynamism straight out of The Running Man; Johnny Johnstone also contributed art to the strip.

You can check out the first four pages of The Mean Arena Volume 1 below, and it’s out on March 3rd – available from the 2000 AD app, as DRM-free download from the 2000 AD webshop, and on Amazon Kindle devices.

The new digital releases will be available from the 2000 AD app for Apple, Android, and Windows 10 devices, as DRM-free PDF/CBZ downloads from the 2000 AD webshop, and on Amazon Kindle devices.
