JUDGE DREDD // The Hagger They Fall, part two

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, Dredd’s still tracking down the mercenaries that tried to assassinate him and Maitland on Atlantis…

Script: Dan Abnett / Art: Mark Harrison / Letters: Simon Bowland

THE OUT // Book Three, part seven

The furthest edge of the universe, far into the future. Cyd Finlea is photo-journalist working for the publishers Global Neographic, travelling deep into outer space — otherwise known as THE OUT — and cataloguing the alien societies that she encounters. She left Earth ten years ago and has been seeking other ex-pat humans — but now, having been questioned after her brush with the Tankinar, she’s escaped…

Script: Pat Mills / Art: Clint Langley / Letters: Annie Parkhouse

JOE PINEAPPLES // Tin Man, part seven

Former war-droids, the ABC Warriors were reassigned to bring peace to the frontier planet of Mars. Comprising Hammerstein, Deadlock, Blackblood, Steelhorn, Mongrol and Happy Shrapnel, the Mek-Nifcent Seven’s sharpshooter was Joe Pineapples, a robot with more secrets than most. Now he and sewer-droid Ro-Jaws are at the other end of the universe — Joe n’ Ro, lost in space, out of gas, out of love n’ outta luck!

Script: Kek-W / Art: John Burns / Letters: Jim Campbell

THE ORDER // Heart of Darkness, part two

Throughout history, mankind has been under threat of extermination by the Wurms, creatures that break into our reality. Defending humanity are THE ORDER, a band of warriors that have fought the entities across the centuries. But time has become fractured, and the despotic Francis Bacon is determined to rule a vast empire. Now, The Order must battle the shadow-creatures at the edge of time itself…

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

PROTEUS VEX // Crawlspace, part seven

The far future. The centuries-long war between the Alliance and the Obdurate people is over, a conflict brought to an end with the deaths of billions 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. But now war with the Scorchers has broken out…

BORAG THUNGG, EARTHLETS! Call me The Mighty Tharg, the ebullient emerald editor of this awe-inspiring anthology!

We last left Anna Kohl and co being attacked by the shadowcreatures that have been infiltrating the fractured chronology — now, in ‘Heart of Darkness’, see whether she can be reunited with her lost love Ritterstahl as her compatriots battle the forces of the evil Francis Bacon!

MERRY CHRISTMAS, EARTHLETS – 2000 AD Prog 2312 is OUT NOW!

I am The Mighty Tharg, all-powerful alien editor of this award-winning SF anthology — prepare yourselves for Xmas overload!

The traditional bumper, end-of-year prog celebrates your planet’s festive season and also cap another scrotnig twelve months of circuit-frying zarjazness!

We’ve unfortunately had to bid farewell to a number of beloved creators this year, such as Ian Kennedy, Garry Leach, and most recently Alan Grant and Kevin O’Neill, so this issue has something of a melancholic feel, with fellow writers and artists paying tribute to Alan and Kevin, who were so enormously influential in the Galaxy’s Greatest’s development. You’ll also find inside what turned out to be Kevin’s last work for 2000 AD, as he teamed up with Garth Ennis to revisit that scourge of the spaceways, Bonjo From Beyond the Stars, a strip he originally created for this pulse-pounding publication well over forty years ago.

Elsewhere, an old face from Dredd’s past turns up in ‘The Last Temptation of Joe’, there’s the start of new series for Joe Pineapples, Proteus Vex and The Out, a complete Rogue Trooper story, and much more.

Have a Thrill-packed Christmas and New Year, Earthlets!

JUDGE DREDD // The Last Temptation of Joe

Mega-City One, 2144 AD. Home to over 180 million citizens, this urban hell is situated along the east coast of post-apocalyptic North America. Unemployment is rife, and crime is rampant. Tensions rest on a knife-edge and only the zero-tolerance Judges can stop total anarchy. Toughest of them all is JUDGE DREDD — he is the Law! Thirty-nine years ago, Dredd locked up the Devil himself in Iso-Block 666, where he’s remained…

ROGUE TROOPER // Brothers

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 lethal cocktail of 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…

BONJO FROM BEYOND THE STARS // Solids in the Bile Tube

Over forty years ago, the alien entity known as BONJO arrived on Earth, and set about causing carnage. A creature with an insatiable appetite, who grew to Godzilla-sized proportions, he caused an inordinate amount of damage to the planet, and it seemed nothing could stop him — other than his grumbly gut when he consumed something that disagreed with him, which was pretty often…

The brand new graphic novel series from the legendary comics publisher began with a bang – going to reprint two weeks before publication and hitting #3 on the list of the UK’s best-selling graphic novels – and the volume two raises the bar still further with another 200 pages of pulse-pounding Thrill-power!
