CADET DREDD // Undertow

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 zero-tolerance 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!


Script: James Peaty / Art: Leigh Gallagher / Letters: Jim Campbell

BLADERS

It’s the twenty-fifth century, and humanity has spread out amongst the stars. One of its biggest exports is Gravity Blading, the most exciting, successful and lucrative sport in the galaxy. One person who dreamed of being a Blader was Abi Caine, but severe injury forced her out of the trials. However, an unexpected and sizable inheritance has enabled her to re-enter the world of G-Blading, though not as a competitor — she’s buying up the Gravity Bombshells, a team on its last legs after their previous manager proved corrupt. Caine’s got her work cut out if she’s going get the Bombshells ready for the play-offs…


Script: Guy Adams / Art: Paul Marshall / Colours: Dylan Teague / Letters: Jim Campbell

ULYSSES SWEET // Psychobaby

The future. At some point the adult Ulysses Sweet will become infamous across the galaxy as a Maniac-For-Hire — if you have an incredibly dangerous mission that requires someone insane enough to face improbable odds, then Sweet is your man. Prone to acts of violence, and possessing a dubious connection to reality, you hire Ulysses at your peril. Indeed, there’s every chance you’ll make the situation even worse. But when it comes to utter madness, no one can touch him — and this all started as a baby, with a love for explosive weaponry and remembering the words his ruthless criminal mother told him…


Script: Karl Stock / Art: Karl Richardson / Letters: Annie Parkhouse

FUTURE SHOCK // The Planet Breakers

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, at some point in the future, the human race’s need for resources to solve its energy crisis will mean it will start mining other planets. But what happens when plundering a world goes drastically wrong…?


Script: David Barnett / Art: Gary Welsh / Colours: Gary Caldwell / Letters: Simon Bowland

CHOPPER // All For One

Mega-City One, 2103 AD. Marlon Shakespeare was just an ordinary juve in the vast twenty-second century metropolis, and like most of his generation had little to no prospects, expecting a future of unemployment and boredom. His parents have already embraced the meaninglessness of life in the Big Meg, and spend their days heading eggs into a bucket or washing up. But Marlon was determined to make a name for himself, and under the alias CHOPPER, became a famous scrawler, spraying his tag in the most audacious of places. He was eventually arrested and served an iso-cube sentence, but he’s now out, and taking up skysurfing…

CADET DREDD // Sentientoid’s Big Idea, part one

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. 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!

Script: Dan Abnett / Art: Steve Yeowell / Colours: John Charles / Letters: Annie Parkhouse

DEXTER // Bulletopia Chapter Eleven: The End of The Pier Show, part one

Gun-sharks Finnigan SINISTER and Ramone DEXTER were the best hitmen money could buy in the future city of Downlode.

BORAG THUNGG, YOUNG EARTHLETS – 2000 AD Regened Prog 2296 is OUT NOW!

Joko-Jargo here again, bringing you another special all-ages edition of the Galaxy’s Greatest!

Welcome to the third Regened issue of 2022. I’m sure you know the score by now, but if there are any newcomers amongst the Terrans poring through these Thrill-packed pages, then let me offer you cosmic greetings and explain that four times a year my Uncle Tharg passes me the keys to the Command Module — which he doesn’t do lightly, believe me — and allows me to take over 2000 AD, pulling together these bumper progs aimed at a wide audience, with one-off and brand-new stories, ideal for those dipping their toes into the Mighty One’s emerald empire.

This issue is no exception, with Cadet Dredd tackling mutant slavers in the Cursed Earth in Two Tribes, dwarf private detective Renk embroiled in a case involving a princess’s missing parents in the debut episode of a new fantasy series, Simon, Sam and the kids going on a day trip to the centre of Howard’s guts in ‘Splorers, and Department K having an overload of Estabons (don’t miss the forthcoming collection of previous Dept K stories, hitting the shelves in November). All this plus a synapse-searing Future Shock in which the world’s inequalities are solved in a flash (or are they?), and it’s another zarjaz line-up!

CADET DREDD // Two Tribes

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.

Script: Paul Starkey / Art: Anna Readman / Colours: Matt Soffe / Letters: Jim Campbell

RENK

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…


Script: David Barnett / Art: Steve Roberts / Letters: Annie Parkhouse

FUTURE SHOCK // Levelling Up

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. Now, at some point in the future, the gap between the haves and the have-nots will grow ever wider. When the incredibly wealthy Jon Mozes discovers that his fortune has now reached 7.8 quintillion dollars, what is his next step…?


Script: Rory McMconville / Art: Nick Dyer / Colours: Gary Caldwell / Letters: Simon Bowland

DEPARTMENT K // Crisis of Infinite Estabons

Mega-City One, 2144 AD. Justice Dept has many divisions within it tasked with dealing with the threats that face the metropolis. The psychic personnel of Psi-Division, for example, are at the forefront in the fight against supernatural foes, while Tek-Div conducts all manner of experiments and develops advanced weaponry. The mysterious DEPARTMENT K is a branch of the latter, whose brief is to tackle interdimensional enemies that are seeking to break through the walls of reality. Headed by Judge Kirby, the team is made up of Mechanismo robot Estabon, alien Blackcurrant and recent intern Afua…

‘SPLORERS // The Big Splash

Once upon a time there were three twentysomething geeks — Simon, Rufus and Clive — who shared what looked like an ordinary semi-detached on a regular suburban street. But Clive had fitted the house with a transdimensional drive that enabled it to cross time and space, although it malfunctioned and they spent years bouncing between worlds. Joined by sceptical new housemate Sam, their travels finally came to an end when they returned to Earth and became responsible adults — Rufus entered politics, Clive became a CEO, and Simon and Sam got together as a couple, eventually having kids. But the adventures didn’t stop there…

Mega-City One, 2076 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.

SCOOTER & JINX // New this Prog!

Eco-Point, a space station out near the Daedalus Spiral, is a place where all manner of species from across the galaxy congregate as they pass through on their various journeys. Mondo’s Mektail Bar is a favourite watering hole for the hungry and thirsty traveller, and waitress Scooter Occultatum is expecting a quiet afternoon’s business — but then again she wasn’t anticipating Jinx Calhoun to be amongst the customers, a rogue and a thief, who has more than enough secrets of his own. Not least the gangsters that are on his tail, who want to get their hands on something Jinx has stolen. The pair are about to cross paths in a very explosive fashion…


Script: Cavan Scott / Art: Luke Horsman / Colours: John Charles / Letters: Jim Campbell

ENEMY EARTH // The Bunker!

Perhaps mankind should’ve expected it, given the destruction humanity has wrought upon the planet Earth. Acres of forests
bulldozed, waterways polluted, animal life driven to extinction — there was always going to be a point in which the world decided that enough was enough, and Mother Nature would turn against the people that lived upon its surface and treated it so disrespectfully. So it came without warning — when Earth’s flora and fauna mutated and suddenly started attacking everyone. Quickly, civilisation crumbled as systems of government, TV and the internet all collapsed, leaving survivors to fend for themselves…


Script: Colin Harvey / Art: Tom Newell / Colours: Gary Caldwell / Letters: Simon Bowland

TIME TWISTERS // Temporal Tantrum!

Forget what you think you understand, Earthlets, about your species’ limited notion of time. Take nothing for granted when it
comes to human history, or an unknowable future — the process of time can be broken, bent back on itself, or even sent in entirely the wrong direction. These complete head-spinning tales warp the very fabric of chronology itself, and established events can be changed by the unwary dabbler in time travel. Take, for example, the case of Garzan Tarfett, an internet influencer, whose vast army followers hang on her every word (which she is, of course, very keen to monetise). Hungry for more fame, she heads into the past…


Script: David Baillie / Art: Colin MacNeil / Colours: Chris Blythe / Letters: Simon Bowland

STRONTIUM DUG // New this Prog!

Following the Great Atom War of 2150, many of the survivors were mutated by the radioactive Strontium 90 fallout, creating
an underclass despised and feared by the ‘norms’. These mutants were forced to live in ghettos, and the only job open to them was bounty hunting as Search/Destroy agents. The most famous of these so-called STRONTIUM DOGs is Johnny Alpha, who was regularly accompanied on missions by friend and fellow mutant Archibald ‘Middenface’ McNulty. Now, as McNulty has his own quarry to chase — a criminal known as Steeds Cryptoplex — he’s brought with him his granny’s dog, Dougal IX…

MAYFLIES // The Way Forward!

Nu Earth is just one planet among many caught up in a galactic war between the Norts and the Southers. Strategically vital, both sides are desperate to secure it but use of chemical weapons during the conflict has rendered the atmosphere poisonous. Now, soldiers must wear special environment suits to venture onto its surface. So the Southers created the Genetic Infantrymen, bred to be immune to the planet’s lethal cocktail of pollutants. But the gene-engineers are always looking to improve the next generation of G.I.s, giving them specialised skills and abilities — and a squad of young clones have gone AWOL, escaping from a Nort attack…

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 zero-tolerance 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!

Mankind has always sought to find extra-terrestrial life in the galaxy, believing that humanity is not alone. So robots like Expectation are sent into the depths of the cosmos to seek out evidence of alien civilisations…

ANDERSON, PSI DIVISION // Deep Burn!

Mega-City One, 2143 AD. Psi-Division is a section of Justice Department that specialises in Judges with accentuated psychic
talents — from precognition to exorcism, projection to pyrokinesis, it deals with all manner of paranormal crimes, and is often the city’s first defence against supernatural threats. Cassandra ANDERSON is Justice Department’s top telepath — warm, empathetic and often flippant, she’s not your usual Judge, and she still sees the good in the Big Meg’s citizens. Recently, she’s become aware of incursions by an alien species seeking to bring order to planet Earth. Realising that they’ll attack soon, she’s chosen to head them off in space…

PANDORA PERFECT // Night of the Guffwarbler!

Earth, the far future. While the towering starscrapers and flying cars may make this look like some idealised Utopia, crime is still a major problem, and there’s no felon more wanted than the nefarious Pandora Perez — burglar, safe-cracker, armed bandit and all-round career criminal. Just when the authorities thought that they’d finally managed to incarcerate her, her loyal robot assistant Gort came to her rescue and succeeded in breaking her out of her cell. Despite being a wanted woman, Pandora’s still up to her usual confidence tricks, and now she’s looking to score a big payday by stealing the very rare Guffwarbler…

The mysterious DEPARTMENT K is a branch of the latter, whose brief is to tackle interdimensional enemies that are seeking to break through the walls of reality. Headed by Judge Kirby, the team is made up of Mechanismo robot Estabon, alien Blackcurrant and recent intern Afua, but right now they’re stuck, far from home…
