ATTENTION, EARTHLETS – 2000 AD Prog 2351 is OUT NOW!

Welcome to Thrill-Central — I am your host, galactic green godhead Tharg The Mighty!

After the scrotnig circuit-scrambling alt-history shenanigans of last week’s Battle Action merger, we’re back to the current reality with an all-new line-up of zarjaz stories.

Future lawman Judge Dredd is on the trail of those responsible for former Chief Judge Hershey’s death in Poison by Rob Williams and PJ Holden; Feral & Foe is back for its third outing, courtesy of regular creators Dan Abnett and Richard Elson, as Bode and Wrath continue their bounty-hunting business; and Ian Edginton and D’Israeli’s skyship saga Helium returns after an extraordinary eight years. The last we saw of Hodge and Sol was their craft crashing in the Poison Belt so I’m sure you’re eager to find out what happened next — and if you need a refresher, the entire first series is available as a free download from 2000AD.com!

Add to that a special crossover one-off from the Ennis and Flint droids, and you’ve got another ghafflebette jumping-on prog.

2000 AD Prog 2351 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 // POISON

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, in the wake of former Chief Judge Hershey’s death, the question remains of who was responsible…

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

FERAL & FOE // BAD GODESBERG

It’s been over five years since 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. So now they’re in the bounty-hunting business…

Script: Ian Edginton / Art: D’Israeli / Letters: Simon Bowland

HELIUM // SCORCHED EARTH

The far future. It has been three hundred years since the Great War ended, and eighty-five per cent of the Earth’s surface now lies beneath a vast gaseous ocean known as the Poison Belt — a toxic cocktail of biological weapons. The survivors live above the lethal fugue, but a professor named Bloom has emerged, claiming he can make the planet habitable again. Young Constable Hodge was tasked with protecting him…

Script: Garth Ennis / Art: Henry Flint / Letters: Rob Steen

JUDGE DREDD Vs ROBO-HUNTER

In 22nd-century Brit-Cit, Sam Slade is a ROBO-HUNTER, a private detective hired to find missing droids or track down malfunctioning meks. Partnered with his idiot robot understudy Hoagy and his excitable robo-cigar Stogie, trouble is never very far away when Sam’s on a case — and when the creds are running dry, he’ll take any case that he can get his hands on, and that includes journeying to Mega-City One…

ATTENTION, EARTHLETS – 2000 AD Prog 2350 is OUT NOW!

BORAG THUNGG, EARTHLETS! I am The Mighty Tharg, alien editor of this pulse-pounding sci-fi anthology!

Imagine, if you will, Terrans, another 1982 — that as the Galaxy’s Greatest Comic was surfing a wave of cosmic popularity, it was decided to merge Battle Action into it. 2000 AD had merged with other titles before — namely Starlord and Tornado, which gave the prog Strontium Dog, Ro-Busters, Blackhawk and The Mind of Wolfie Smith — so if Battle became part of my emerald empire, what would become of the characters that joined its pages?

That’s the conceit of this special issue, where the likes of Major Eazy, Dredger, Hellman of Hammer Force and El Mestizo are given SF-fantasy makeovers!

But that’s not all — such is the success of the merger, that a couple of years later in our alternate eighties, it’s decided to create a monthly Judge Dredd title in which Battle properties are reinvented in the Dreddverse. You can read what’s become of Rat Pack, Johnny Red, Darkie’s Mob and more in Meg 460, which is on sale right now! And after all that alt-history excitement, you’ve got a zarjaz brand-new line-up of Thrills coming in Prog 2351 — don’t miss it, my Squaxx!

2000 AD Prog 2350 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 // JUVES RULE OK!

Mega-City One, 2075 AD. Home to over 800 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. A teenage Cadet Dredd is a rising star in Justice Department, but the Judges and the metropolis itself are about to face a terrifying disaster…

Script: Geoffrey D. Wessel / Art: Nick Dyer / Colours: John Charles / Letters: Jim Campbell

DEATH GAME 2049

In the future, the privatised prisons gave rise to the brutal sport of Spinball, where the Death Row convict teams would play a live-action version of pinball, but on motorcycles and tooled up with all manner of lethal weaponry. These violent games were broadcast to a nation eager for spectacle until it was deemed too dangerous — but fifty years later, it’s back and it’s as bloody as ever…

Script & Art: Chris Weston / Letters: Simon Bowland

EL MESTIZO // Demon with a SIX-Gun!

1860s Texas, and the legend of El Mestizo is known throughout the land. Born a slave, he escaped the plantation upon which he was forced to work and made it across the border, re-emerging during the American Civil War as a mercenary, working for both the North and the South. He had no allegiance to either the Union or the Confederacy — he sold his talents to the highest bidder. But El Mestizo now has a terrible secret…

Script: Karl Stock / Art: Paul Marshall / Colours: Quinton Winter / Letters: Annie Parkhouse

Dredger // Time to Kill

Former Royal Marine turned DI6 agent Dredger is not a man to cross, nor get in the way of — tough, uncompromising and unwilling to negotiate, there isn’t a situation he isn’t prepared to punch, kick, or shoot his way out of. Few can get close to Dredger and though he was in the past partnered with former public schoolboy Simon Breed, who died in a bomb blast, his friendships tend to be short…

Script: Arthur Wyatt / Art: Jake Lynch / Colours: Jim Boswell / Letters: Simon Bowland

Hellman of Hell Force // Fiends of Ungeistwelt Ost

Major Kurt Hellman was a Panzer tank commander, taking part in the 1940 German invasion of Belgium — but he refused to join the Nazi party, setting up ongoing conflicts with the SS. But now, in 1943, German scientists have created a gateway to Hell in a bid to overtake the Allies — and Hellman has found himself stationed there, punishment for his refusal to toe the line…

Writer: Gordon Rennie / Art: Dan Cornwell / Colours: Dylan Teague / Letters: Jim Campbell

Major Eazy // The Treasure of Solomon

The African desert, 1942. During the Allied campaign, few officers were as singular as Major Eazy — long-haired and laconic, this scruffy maverick never failed to irritate his superiors. With a cigar hanging from his lips and often found driving his distinctive Bentley, Eazy seemed crazy — but his eccentricities were overlooked because when it came to warfare, he always gets the job done…

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!

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…

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!

Inside this bumper prog you’ll find another complete Cadet Dredd thriller, this time by James Peaty and Joe Currie, as a cadet from Mega-City Two joins the Academy of Law in The Exchange; dwarf private eye Renk returns after his debut tale in Prog 2296 for the follow-up Twinkle Toes, once again by Paul Starkey and Anna Readman; artificial intelligence and its impact on a human workforce comes under the spotlight in the Future Shock AutoCop by Karl Stock and Toby Willsmer; and we’re back at magical comprehensive Lowborn High for the latest adventure by David Barnett and Mike Walters!

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…
