JUDGE DREDD // A Fallen Man, part three

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, a former Judge called Kyle Asher has returned from Titan, and is working for the Mob…

Script: Rob Williams / Art: Simon Fraser Olson / Letters: Simon Bowland

HERSHEY // The Cold in the Blood, part three

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 reevaluate her position. Seriously ill from a microbial virus, she’s faked her death to deal with his legacy, and now alien creatures are loose, the result of a drug operation…

Script: David Barnett / Art: Lee Milmore / Colours: Quinton Winter / Letters: Annie Parkhouse

THARG’S 3RILLERS // Maxwell’s Demon, part one

Three episodes, one complete, self-contained story — a condensed hit of supercharged Thrill-power beamed to you directly from the Nerve Centre! Young Caris was going to be sacrificed by her village but was saved by itinerant magician Herne and his dog Shuck. It was discovered that Caris is a powerful summoner and let loose a demon upon the village elders. Now, Herne and Shuck are trying to get the girl to safety…

AZIMUTH // The Stranger, part two

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 seem to have predicted the coming of a stranger — none other than Ramone Dexter…

Script: John Tomlinson / Art: Eoin Coveney / Colours: Jim Boswell / Letters: Simon Bowland

NEW THRILL: PORTALS & BLACK GOO // Night Shift, part four

In the near future, the job market is more perilous than ever and Generation Y must take on any task to make ends meet. Kroy Plemons is a rider for Devouroo — a food delivery service for creatures of the night. Devouroo policy is ruthless and, after a series of unpaid deliveries, Kroy is placed on the night shift and despatched to the notorious Apollyon House. His friends Nona and Magister Dain are also in danger…

I am The Mighty Tharg, verdant majesty of the Thrillverse — join me in my scrotnig kingdom!

A pulse-poundingly packed prog this week, Terrans, so stuffed with zarjazness that it even takes over the back cover. Yep, that’s thirty-two pages of pure comics mastery, courtesy of my crack coterie of creator-bots — inside, you’ll find the ghafflebette finale to Garth Ennis and Patrick Goddard’s nerve-shredding Rogue Trooper thriller ‘Blighty Valley’ (they may well be collaborating on another tale from Nu Earth in the near future, so keep your eye-pods peeled), plus there’s the penultimate part of the current Judge Dredd story ‘In the Event of My Untimely Demise’, the latest instalments of Azimuth and Void Runners, and a complete Future Shock from the Sandifer and Broxton droids.

If that doesn’t slam your circuits into next week, my Squaxx, then I don’t know what will! In fact, talking of seven days’ hence, I’ve got yet another new Thrill to delight your diodes — don’t miss the start of Portals & Black Goo by John Tomlinson and Eoin Coveney, a darkly comic look at the world of zero-hour contracts for the Devouroo delivery drivers, who risk life and, very often, limb!

Call me The Mighty Tharg, Betelgeusian barker of this scrotnig Thrill-circus, where it’s all zarjaz!

Welcome, excitement-seekers, to the weekly circuit-shredder that is the Galaxy’s Greatest Comic, and once again it’s another seriously scrotnig issue that demands your total immersion. Inside, you’ll find the climactic episode of Durham Red’s current adventure, Mad Dogs, plus the penultimate chapter of the Rogue Trooper story Blighty Valley, alongside the latest instalments for Dredd, Azimuth and Void Runners.

Just take a flip through this prog, Terrans — go on, I’ll wait — and marvel at the stunning work of my creatormeks. Can any other title give you such breadth and variation in styles and subject matter, where droids are encouraged to find their own voice, where they can experiment with composition and storytelling? Too many comics are beholden to a ‘house style’ and art is simply there to get the narrative from A to B — not my Mighty Organ. 2000 AD thrives on giving writers and artists a level of creative freedom, where they can push their talents into new directions and genres! It’s unique on the newsstand in that regard — and it’s here to challenge and inspire every Wednesday!

Journey to AZIMUTH with Dan Abnett & Tazio Bettin – new series starts 21 June

Azimuth is a city. It’s THE city. It’s always been there and it always will be there. It’s not magic, it’s not science. It’s a place of miraculous reinvention, and it’s where you’ve been going since the very start…

Coming to the legendary 2000 AD this June, ‘Azimuth’ is the brand new series from writing powerhouse Dan Abnett (Guardians of the Galaxy, Warhammer 40k) and break-out art talent Tazio Bettin (Doctor Who, Sinister Dexter).

Beginning in 2000 AD Prog 2337, on sale from all good newsagents and comic book stores on 21 June, this new eleven-part series launches with a stunning cover by Bettin, colours by Matt Soffe and letters by Jim Campbell.

The city of Azimuth is 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.

Suzi Nine Millimetre, for example, is a cadavatar, whose existence is given purpose by the jobs she undertakes for her New Flesh masters…

Dan Abnett said: “Azimuth is the city where anything is possible… and almost everything is lethal. I’m delighted to be paying it a visit with the wonderful artist Tazio Bettin, who’s done such a tour de force on Sinister Dexter recently.”

Tazio Bettin said: “I have been a fan of Dan’s work for years, from his Warhammer novels to his work in comics. Brink is one of my favourite titles of all times, so when he offered me to work on a title that would showcase my work I felt like I had to bring in the best I could create visually.

“Having worked with Dan for over a year and having solidified our relationship, we felt like it was time for us to create something new together. What he proposed blew my mind, and I knew I had to give it my absolute best, filling the world of ‘Azimuth’ with details, to make it look like a living place. Hopefully I succeeded in that attempt!”

Matt Smith, 2000 AD editor, said: “Dan Abnett and Tazio Bettin have created a stunning new series in ‘Azimuth’, a city steeped in the power of the imagination. Drawing influences from Euro comics, every page has new ideas and details to immerse yourself in. I guarantee it’s a metropolis you’ll get lost in.”

‘Azimuth’ begins in 2000 AD Prog 2337, which is on sale from 21 June.
