BORAG THUNGG, EARTHLETS – Prog 2221 is OUT NOW!
Welcome back to your regular progamming, Terrans, after last week’s Regened divergence (Joko-Jargo will return in May for the second of the all-ages specials), and we kick off this issue with two new stories — Dredd is tracking down the killer of Captain Cookies, courtesy of the Niemand and Holden droids, and T.C. Eglington and Simon Davis bring us Poisoned Roots, the follow-up to acclaimed folk-horror nerve-jangler Thistlebone (the GN collection of which is out next month).
Add to that more zarjazness with Proteus Vex, Durham Red and the penultimate episode of Sláine, and you have another pulse-pounding prog!
Busy, busy times here at the House of the GGC — available now from Penguin Random House to download from Audible are five audio adaptations of 2000 AD series — America, The Pit, The Horned God, Brink and The Ballad of Halo Jones — featuring
