2000 AD Prog 2349 out now!


ATTENTION, EARTHLETS – 2000 AD Prog 2349 is OUT NOW!

I am The Mighty Tharg, your galactic green godhead at the helm of this cosmic comic!

At what point in the history of my pulse-pounding publication did you first encounter that severe-looking young Judge with the bob haircut?

Maybe you’re a long-term Squaxx and you were there for her debut in The Judge Child in 1980; perhaps you caught up a little later when she reappeared across the decades in stories like Destiny’s Angels, The Graveyard Shift or The Doomsday Scenario, after which she ascended to the highest office in Mega-City One. Or there were the series of solo adventures that were a regular part of the Megazine’s line-up during the nineties.

Either way, Judge Barbara Hershey has been a significant and iconic character for many, many years, both a reliable ally for Dredd and in more recent years someone with whom he clashed over policy. But now we wave farewell to Hershey as her post-Smiley mission has come to an end, and the pathogen that has been slowly consuming her can no longer be fended off.

Terrans, I bid you to raise a glass (or polystyrene cup, your choice) and say goodbye to Hershey — bringing the law to the lawless until death!

2000 AD Prog 2349 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!

JUDGE DREDD // A Fallen Man, Part Eight

Mega-City One, 2145 AD. Home to over 200 million citizens, this urban hell is situated along the east coast of post-apocalyptic North America. Crime is rampant, and only future cops the Judges — empowered to dispense instant justice — can stop total anarchy. Toughest of them all is JUDGE DREDD — he is the Law! Now, former Judge Kyle Asher is attempting to flee the city, having betrayed his Mob employers…


Script: Eddie Robson / Art: Nick Brokenshire / Letters: Annie Parkhouse

THARG’S 3RILLERS // DIE HOARD, Part Three

Three episodes, one complete, self-contained story — a condensed hit of super-charged Thrill-power beamed to you directly from the Nerve Centre! Earth, the twenty-second century, in the aftermath of a brutal war with an alien race called the Imishoi. A house-clearance team are assessing the hundreds of items that have been hoarded in a reclusive millionaire’s mansion — but the house’s A.I. is still active…


Script: Dan Abnett / Art: Tazio Bettin / Colours: Matt Soffe / Letters: Jim Campbell

AZIMUTH // INFLICTER OF SORROWS

Welcome to the city of AZIMUTH, a data-driven metropolis, where anything is possible. Ruled by an aristocracy of the New Flesh, such concepts of life, death, and body-forms are fluid. Anyone can take any shape, if it can be conceived by the imagination. The New Flesh masters have been troubled by strange dreams and portents, which have predicted the coming of a stranger — none other than Ramone Dexter…


Script: Rob Williams / Art: Simon Fraser / Letters: Simon Bowland

HERSHEY // THE COLD IN THE BONES, Part Eight

Barbara Hershey was a respected young officer before she became Chief Judge. Leading the city through numerous challenges, the ‘Small House’ affair and the revelation of Judge Smiley’s clandestine operations on her watch made her re-evaluate her position. Seriously ill from a microbial virus, she’s faked her death to deal with his legacy, and now, with the case closed, her time is almost up…

2000 AD Prog 2348 out now!


ATTENTION, EARTHLETS – 2000 AD Prog 2348 is OUT NOW!

Alien editor Tharg The Mighty here once again, delivering Thrill-power to your needy circuits!

Things are coming close to wrapping up in this prog, as we hit the penultimate parts of Judge Dredd thriller A Fallen Man, Azimuth, the 3riller Die Hoard, and Hershey’s elegiac outing The Cold in the Bones. Add to that a complete Future Shock, Fear & Loathing of Las Vegas, by the Hartley and Currie droids, and it’s an issue thrumming with sheer momentum. Be here in seven for multiple finales across the board!

Indeed, be here in a fortnight and you’ll have the pleasure of diving into the zarjaz Prog 2350, a bumper outing so expansive that it spills into Meg 460 too, which is on sale the same day (yes, like the zombie spectacular last year, you’ll get the most from the experience if you purchase both titles). So what’s the theme of 2023’s scrotnig special?

Well, long-term Squaxx will be aware that both Starlord and Tornado were merged with 2000 AD, bringing with them select characters such as Strontium Dog and Blackhawk. But what if, in an alternate past, Battle Action folded into the GGC, and the likes of Major Eazy, Hellman and El Mestizo joined the SF line-up? What then, Terrans? What then? Stay tuned!

2000 AD Prog 2348 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!

Get 40% Off Rogue Trooper’s Debut!

On the 29th August 1981 the last of the Genetic Infantrymen made his debut in the pages of 2000 AD. That’s right: today marks the anniversary of Rogue Trooper, created by Gerry Finley-Day and Dave Gibbons!

And to celebrate we have 40% off his debut collection in the webshop!

BUY NOW >>

GET THE APP >>

The sale runs until Monday 4th September.

Rogue Trooper follows Rogue, a Genetic Infantryman, as he chases through the poisonous landscape of Nu-Earth on a vital mission. Genetically-engineered to survive on the war-warped surface of the planet, the blue-skinned Rogue is the last of his kind – and yet his comrades Helm, Gunnar and Bagman are always with him on his travels.

You see, after they were all killed in action during the bitter war between the Norts and Southers, Rogue’s colleagues now exist only in the form of biochips – technology which downloads a GI’s entire personality at the time of his death for later retrieval. Helm sits in his helmet, Gunnar controls his rifle, and Bagman – you guessed it – controls his backpack.

Written by Gerry Finley-Day and with stunning stunning art from Dave Gibbons, Brett Ewins, Colin Wilson and many others, Rogue Trooper’s clever genre mash-up of sci-fi and war comics made it one of the most popular stories in 2000 AD history!

This year Rogue returned to the pages of the Prog with the critically-acclaimed “Blighty’s Valley” from the creative team of Garth Ennis and Patrick Goddard. For two weeks each year, Nu Earth’s orbit carries it close to a black hole known as Zvartchvintern. During those two weeks, things go a little… screwy – as Rogue Trooper experienced first-hand in this startling story, which proved there was plenty of life left in that Trooper!

Stay alert, Earthlets – the collection of Blighty Valley will be out in 2024!

CADET DREDD // The Exchange

Mega-City One, 2077 AD. Home to over 800 million citizens, this urban hell is situated along the east coast of post-apocalyptic North America. On one side is the polluted Black Atlantic, and to the west is the blasted radlands of the Cursed Earth. Overcrowding in the metropolis is rife, unemployment is at ninety per cent, boredom is universal and crime is rampant. Only the Judges — a zerotolerance police force empowered to dispense instant justice — can stop total anarchy. CADET JOE DREDD — together with his clone-brother Rico — is a rising star in Justice Department, and will one day be its finest officer. Make no mistake, he is the Law!


LOWBORN HIGH // Wishing Well

For as long as anyone can remember, Wychdusk Manor has been the school to which all the top magical novices are sent, where they are trained to become the world’s greatest wizards. There, students are taught every form of spellcasting by the wisest of mages, and to be part of Wychdusk’s alumni is an incredible honour. But what about those that don’t make the grade, that don’t have the talent to make it to this prestigious establishment? For them, there’s LOWBORN HIGH, a rundown inner-city comprehensive that is often struggling with funding. Androgeus Frost has recently joined the school, becoming friends with Maisy, Ali and Drill and forming the Deadbeats Club, but he feels he belongs at Wychdusk…


FUTURE SHOCKS // Autocop

Out in the vast reaches of the universe, there are an infinite number of stories waiting to be told. These cautionary tales pass from traveller to traveller in the spaceports and around campfires on distant planets, acquiring the status of legend, their shocking ends a salutary lesson in hubris. Anything is possible in these twisted trips into the galaxy’s dark side. Abandon your preconceptions, and expect the unexpected. Now, in the near future, the increasing use of A.I. is causing much concern amongst human workers, fearful of losing their jobs to automation. Murtin Spork is a plasti-soup taster, who thinks his role is irreplaceable, but technology is progressing at an alarming rate…


RENK // Twinkle Toes

Crepuscularia is the biggest city in the eastern region, sitting on the edge of the Weeping Desert, home to over fifty thousand beings. It’s a massive melting pot, in which entities of all types live together amongst its narrow streets, and next to anything is bought and sold from the various traders. But if you want someone or something found, and you don’t have the gold to employ a wizard, or the silver for a warrior, then dwarf RENK will take your copper coin. A wily private detective, his diminutive stature belies a dogged determination to locate his quarry, and he knows the vast metropolis like the back of his hand…
