JUDGE DREDD // IRON TEETH, Part Five

Mega-City One, 2146 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, a band of juves have headed into the Undercity to seek an mythical monster and Dredd’s in pursuit…


Script: Dan Abnett / Art: INJ Culbard / Letters: Simon Bowland

BRINK // CONSUMED, Part Nine

The late 21st century, and through environmental catastrophe and industrial overload Earth has been reduced to a wasteland. Mankind finally evacuated the planet in 2072 and millions were housed in a number of deep-space Habitats. But life on these cramped, overcrowded stations is tense, often spilling over into madness. Sects are rife, and Bridget Kurtis of the Habitat Security Division is investigating their reach…


Script: Geoffrey D. Wessel / Art: Dan Cornwell /Colours: Chris Blythe / Letters: Jim Campbell

ROGUE TROOPER // SOUTHER BELLE, Part One

Nu Earth, site of a galactic war between the Norts and the Southers, where use of chemical weapons has rendered the atmosphere poisonous. So the Southers created the Genetic Infantrymen, bred to be immune to the planet’s pollutants — G.I.s like ROGUE TROOPER, the last of his kind. Together with biochip buddies Helm, Gunnar and Bagman, they’re searching for the traitor that sold them out…


Script: Gemma Sheldrake / Art: Petite Creme / Letters: Jim Campbell

THE LORD PROVIDES

Nevada, 1833, and a young preacher arrives at an isolated mid-western town to replace the former priest, who has taken unwell. Although the town is recovering from a meteor shower that destroyed several buildings and blocked roads, the people seem strangely upbeat and unconcerned. Resources have also taken a hit, and yet no one appears to be going hungry…


Script: Arthur Wyatt / Art & Letters: Pye Parr

INTESTINAUTS // BUSTED FLUSH, Part Five

For stomach upsets, future tech has developed nano-robots called INTESTINAUTS, who fight parasites in the gut. These micro-droids are ingested orally, then once their battle against the various horrors that can be found in the stomach is over, they take the Big Flush, ready to be uploaded back to headquarters. Now, the lab has been compromised, and they’ve battled the terrifying Omega-Genocide-Four…


Script: Laura Bailey / Art: Stewart K. Moore / Letters: Annie Parkhouse

FUTURE SHOCK // HAPPY WIFE

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 salutory lesson in hubris. Anything is possible in these twisted trips into the galaxy’s dark side. Abandon your preconceptions, and expect the unexpected…


Script: Mike Carroll / Art: Jake Lynch / Colours: Jim Boswell / Letters: Simon Bowland

PROTEUS VEX // DEVIOUS, Part Twelve

The far future. The centuries-long war between the Alliance and the Obdurate people is over, a conflict ended when the Alliance teleported a dying white dwarf star into the Obdurate system. Imperium agent PROTEUS VEX — who is operated by a flesh-pilot — became an enemy of the Alliance when he released info about past war crimes. In the wake of the war with the Scorchers, Vex has been presumed dead, but he’s alive…

2000 AD Prog 2385 out now!

ATTENTION, EARTHLETS – 2000 AD Prog 2385 is OUT NOW!

Weep with joy and buckle your diodes — I am The Mighty Tharg and I bring you Thrill-power!

We surge into summer like a squad of Intestinauts falling upon a bacterial cluster in your upper colon — June is upon us and the Thrills are hot, hot, hot! Dredd edges closer to a confrontation with the Undercity entity known as Iron Teeth; Kurtis and Lind wrestle sigils in Brink; the net is closing in on Proteus Vex; the microbial cover stars come face to cerebellum with the mysterious Dr Globulon; and 3riller Blue Skies Over Deadwick reaches its explosive finale. All in all, another packed prog of searing sci-fi to fry your imaginations!

I expect many of you Squaxx picture the Command Module to be a dark and gritty environment, in which stories of anti-heroes battling hostile worlds are conjured into being — and, to be fair, it is ninety per cent of the time like that — but here at Thrill-Central we’re not averse to a little romance, which is why my droids have been working hard on a new Kickstarter project that sees the return of classic title Roxy as an eighty-page special.

The crowd-funding launches this month — check it out, Terrans!

2000 AD Prog 2384 out now!

ATTENTION, EARTHLETS – 2000 AD Prog 2384 is OUT NOW!

I am The Mighty Tharg, all-powerful alien editor of this brain-sizzling soup of Thrill-power!

Indeed, the Galaxy’s Greatest Comic is much like a cauldron into which various ingredients are dropped and stirred, creating a flavoursome mix where the components complement each other and the result is a tasty stew of zarjazness.

Take, for example, the dark, bitter tang of Judge Dredd, smoky with menace as the lawman heads deeper into the Undercity in pursuit of the juves searching for the mythical monster Iron Teeth — its spine-tingling texture works perfectly with the dayglo sweetness of Intestinauts, that sugar underscored with notes of gut-bot. Then there’s the slow-burn unease of Brink, lingering on the palate long after the story is finished, its myriad elements revealing themselves over time, clashing with the oddball sprinkles of alien weirdness that Proteus Vex brings, sharp snaps that blossom in the imagination like synaptic fireworks.

Add to that the caffeine rush of the 3riller, superheated for maximum impact, and you hold in your hands quite the delicacy, carefully put together by this Betelgeusian chef and my minions. Consume with a favourite beverage, and enjoy, Terrans!

2000 AD Prog 2384 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!

ATTENTION, EARTHLETS – 2000 AD Prog 2383 is OUT NOW!

Call me The Mighty Tharg, Betelgeusian overlord at the helm of this awesome anthology!

This prog a new story joins the ghafflebette line-up of Judge Dredd, Brink, Proteus Vex and Intestinauts as script-droid David Baillie and artbot Nick Brokenshire collaborate on the latest 3riller to be fired from my Thrill-creation tank, Blue Skies Over Deadwick! Talking of blue skies, at the time of writing it looks like spring in the UK has finally arrived, and the incessant rain that marked April has at last ceased and been replaced by some warmer days.

It makes little difference to my creator-meks — they toil in their work-cubicles whatever the weather, and the Galaxy’s Greatest Comic is delivered onto the shuttles every week regardless — but even for a being from Quaxxann such as myself, spend enough time in the UK and you become involved in the national obsession.

If the Command Module had landed in a different country back in 1977, maybe I wouldn’t be as interested as the varying temperatures outside the Nerve Centre — but for a twist of the navi- comp, 2000 AD could be coming to you from the North Pole, and Judge Shako would be the lead character…

2000 AD Prog 2377 out now!

ATTENTION, EARTHLETS – 2000 AD Prog 2377 is OUT NOW!

I am The Mighty Tharg, a cosmic being from Betelgeuse with the awesome power to Thrill!

You know, a question many of your species has pondered over the last few years has been to do with the nature of reality — or, more pertinently, is what you’re witnessing actually what it purports to be? Yes, I’m talking about Is it Cake?, a televisual journey into existentialism that asks you — can you truly rely on your senses that you’ve used to navigate this world since birth? Or are you being fooled, and notions of what you thought was real can easily be undone? Is that really a shoe? A handbag? A bowl of fruit? Or is it just cake?

It’s something I mull over here in the Command Module in this age of manipulated reality — replace cake with artificial intelligence and it becomes more sinister. Do I hold in my hand something that was created by a single imagination, or a code inputted into a program? Is it what it claims to be, or an approximation of a creative endeavour? A computerised recreation of artistry?

Needless to say, nothing but pure zarjaz creativity here in these pages, with the return of Aquila and the finale to Full Tilt Boogie. Be here in seven for the start for Brink Book Six, humes!

2000 AD Prog 2377 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!
