ATTENTION, EARTHLETS – 2000 AD Prog 2406 is OUT NOW!

I am The Mighty Tharg, alien editor of this award-winning, globally acclaimed SF anthology!

Welcome, Thrill-seekers, to the latest pulsepounding issue of the Galaxy’s Greatest Comic, which this week is a 48-page bumper bundle of zarjazness. Don’t just take my word for it (even though you should, for I am a Betelgeusian being of supreme intellect) — just take a gander at the line-up and tell me your circuits aren’t tingling with anticipation.

Inside, you’ll find a special one-off clash between two 2000 AD titans, Sam Slade and Johnny Alpha, courtesy of Garth Ennis and Henry Flint, following up their Dredd vs Robo-Hunter tale from Prog 2351, alongside a complete Terror Tale from the Whiting and Taylor droids. Add to that there’s a Dredd thriller from Ken Niemand and Dan Cornwell — another sequel, this time to Prog 2267’s story — plus the latest instalments of The Out, Rogue Trooper and Nightmare New York.

On top of all that, we also have the return of Dan Abnett and Tazio Bettin’s eye-popping Azimuth, and the final episode of Brink epic Consumed. But fear not — work has commenced on Book 7: The Call of the Void.

Enjoy, my Squaxx, enjoy!

2000 AD Prog 2406 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 // RETURN OF THE DEAD CHIEF JUDGES’ SOCIETY

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 the Judges — empowered to dispense instant justice — can stop total anarchy. Toughest of them all is JUDGE DREDD — he is the Law! Now, he’s having to deal yet again with a citizen who claims he’s possessed by the spirits of former Chief Judges…

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

THE OUT // BOOK IV, Part Six

The furthest edge of the universe. Cyd Finlea was a 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 lost her old pal Cheerio and said goodbye to her daughter Joey, she’s finding work…

Script: Ed Whiting / Art: Dave Taylor / Letters: Jim Campbell

THARG’S TERROR TALES // CELL THERAPY

Experience the terrifying side of Thrill-power with these one-off tales from beyond the veil of sanity. Whether they be ghostly goings-on that send shivers up the spine or splatterfests that sear the retina and paralyse the mind, nothing is what it seems in these glimpses of a realm beyond our own. Now, the terrorist group S.A.N.E is hitting various targets in the UK, preaching a strange philosophy…

Script: Kek-W / Art: David Roach / Colours: Peter Doherty / Letters: Annie Parkhouse

NIGHTMARE NEW YORK // PART SIX

Lower Manhattan, 1845. Paradise Square is at the centre of Five Points in Old New York, where five street corners meet. The early days of the North American metropolis are marked by a mix of poverty, organised crime and hardscrabble lives, where ragpickers rub shoulders with Christian missionaries. Young Lil, living rough on these dank streets, has just turned eighteen, and has been rescued by the mysterious Jimmy Blind…

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

AZIMUTH // THE FABLED BASILISK

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. The New Flesh masters have been troubled by strange dreams, which seem to have predicted the coming of a stranger — none other than Ramone Dexter, who’s teamed up with Psi-Judge Cassandra Anderson to save Downlode…

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

ROBO-HUNTER VS STRONTIUM DOG

Sam Slade is a Robo-Hunter, a freelance tracker of rogue robots and missing droids. Together with his idiot understudy Hoagy and excitable robo-cigar Stogie, he’s been responsible for cracking some of Brit-Cit’s biggest cases. Now, his latest quarry is about to make him cross paths with Search/Destroy agent Johnny Alpha, a mutant bounty hunter from further in the future…

Script: Ian Edginton / Art: Nick Percival / Letters: Jim Campbell

BRINK // CONSUMED, Part Twenty-Eight

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: Garth Ennis / Art: Patrick Goddard / Letters: Rob Steen

ROGUE TROOPER // WHEN A G.I. DIES, Part Six

Nu Earth, site of a galactic war between the Norts and the Southers, where the atmosphere has been rendered poisonous. So the Southers created the Genetic Infantrymen, bred to be immune to the 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…

ATTENTION, EARTHLETS – 2000 AD Prog 2362 is OUT NOW!

BORAG THUNGG, EARTHLETS! Iam The Mighty Tharg, all-powerful alien editor of this award-winning SF anthology — prepare for Xmas overload!

Welcome, my Thrill-hungry humanoids, to the traditional end-of- year bumper prog, where we both celebrate your planet’s festive season and also cap another scrotnig twelve months of circuit-frying amazingness. It’s an issue of two halves this time around — in the latter half, we have the ongoing Thrills Helium, The Devil’s Railroad, Enemy Earth and Feral & Foe, continuing from their autumn runs and going on into the beginning of 2024.

Front-loaded in this pulse-pounding prog, however, are a selection of self-contained one-off stories starring some of the Galaxy’s Greatest’s most iconic characters. Judge Dredd’s here of course (in a manner of speaking) and visited by the ghosts of his past, courtesy of Ken Niemand and Tom Foster, plus there’s new adventures for Rogue Trooper in Runaway by the Wessel and Coleby droids, Anderson, Psi-Division in The Game Within by Torunn Grobekk and Kieran McKeown, and Strontium Dog in Alpha by Rufus Hound and Dan Cornwell, a seasonal Fiends of the Eastern Front tale by the Edginton and Trevallion droids, and the latest chapter of Dan Abentt and Tazio Bettin’s Azimuth.

Phew! Quite the packed prog, I think you’ll agree, my Squaxx. Remember, Terrans, that this ghafflebette issue is on sale for three weeks, so I’ll see you all again on 3 January 2024 for more SF excitement. Have a zarjaz Christmas and New Year, humes!

2000 AD Prog 2362 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 MATTER OF LIFE & DREDD

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 with the irradiated Cursed Earth to the west and the poisoned Black Atlantic to the east. 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!

AZIMUTH // SNOW ZONE

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.

ANDERSON, PSI-DIVISION // THE GAME WITHIN

Mega-City One, 2145 AD.

Cassandra ANDERSON is Psi-Div’s top telepath, who has been responsible for saving the city on a number of occasions from supernatural threats…

Script: Ian Edginton / Art: Tiernen Trevallion / Letters: Jim Campbell

FIENDS OF THE EASTERN FRONT // SILENT KNIGHT

In 1980, the diary of German soldier Hans Schmitt was discovered in Berlin, detailing events that occurred in 1941, when he encountered the terrifying vampire Captain Constanta and his Romanian platoon. But Schmitt was not the first person to meet Constanta — the vampire has popped up throughout history, in various countries and under various guises, and in Romania he ruled over his cowed subjects…

Script: Rufus Hound / Art: Dan Cornwell / Colours: Dylan Teague / Letters: Simon Bowland

STRONTIUM DOG // ALPHA

Late 22nd century. After the Atomic Wars, many survivors were warped by the Strontium 90 fallout. These ‘mutants’ became a victimised underclass, forced into ghettos, and the only job open to them was bounty hunting. One such Search/Destroy agent, or STRONTIUM DOG, is Johnny Alpha, whose eyes emit piercing alpha waves. Partnered with his Viking buddy Wulf Sternhammer, they’re good men in a bad galaxy…

Script: Geoffrey D. Wessel / Art: Simon Coleby / Colours: F. Segala & S. Del Grosso / Letters: Rob Steen

ROGUE TROOPER // RUNAWAY

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…

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

HELIUM // SCORCHED EARTH, Part Eleven

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 gaseous ocean known as the Poison Belt — a toxic cocktail of biological weapons. The survivors live above the lethal fugue, but a Professor Bloom has emerged, claiming he can make the planet habitable again. Constable Hodge is tasked with protecting him, but they’ve been followed…

Script: Peter Milligan / Art: Rufus Dayglo / Colours: Jose Villarrubia / Letters: Jim Campbell

THE DEVIL’S RAILROAD // Part Ten

The Earth year 3038, and Planet Diaspora X-167 is a world that has been ravaged by war, a conflict that sees no sign of ending despite years of death and destruction. One couple, Palamon and Constance, are attempting to escape the caranage, especially now that Constance is pregnant — if the baby is born on Earth, it’ll have full Earth rights. Seeking a new life, these refugees must take a risky journey…

Script: Cavan Scott / Art: Luke Horsman / Letters: Simon Bowland

ENEMY EARTH // BOOK THREE, Part Three

The near future. Mother Nature has turned against the people that live upon the Earth’s surface. Now, the planet’s flora and fauna have mutated and are viciously attacking humanity. As society crumbles, and survivors seek safety, young Zoe, who has lost her own family, has rescued Jules, who’s the prime minister’s son. Now, the PM and the two youths have been shot down en route to India, crashing in the jungle…

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

FERAL & FOE // BAD GODESBERG, Part Eleven

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. Now, they’ve travelled to Godesberg, a stronghold that’s in trouble…

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!

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!
