ATTENTION, EARTHLETS – 2000 AD Prog 2394 is OUT NOW!
I am The Mighty Tharg, Betelgeusian brainiac and channeller of cosmic Thrill-power!
Welcome back to the Galaxy’s Greatest Comic, Terrans, for another eye-popping thirty-two pages of scintillating sci-fi — and welcome back to art-droid Simon Harrison, who crafts this prog’s ghafflebette cover. It’s been incredibly thirty years since the Harrison-bot’s work last appeared below the 2000 AD logo — Prog 885, to be exact, back when Bradley the Sprog was a pint-sized terror — so it’s scrotnig to see him once again within these pages!
No let up in the sheer zarjazosity emanating from inside this issue, either — we plunge into August and the excitement is pushing red-hot levels as the Mechanismo robots make their move in Machine Rule; Bridget’s investigations gain momentum in Consumed; Baroness DeSilva meets the human rebels pressing her into helping them save the planet from the alien Sepsis in Silver; Rogue has a race on his hands to get to the mysterious ET before other interested parties in Recon; and Herne & Shuck come face to face with the sinister St Michael organisation in Suffer the Children.
Can your circuits handle it, humes?
2000 AD Prog 2394 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!
