JUDGE DREDD // The Rematch, 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, with the poisoned Black Atlantic on one side and the irradiated Cursed Earth to the west. Unemployment is rife and crime is rampant. Only the Judges — empowered to dispense instant justice — can stop total anarchy. Toughest of them all is JUDGE DREDD — he is the Law!

Script: John Tomlinson / Art: Nick Dyer / Letters: Simon Bowland

TERROR TALES // The Vision Thing

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 terrifying realm beyond our own. Marcus Biggs is a go-getter in the advertising industry, a self-styled ‘alpha pup’ — but does he lack vision…?

Script: Cavan Scott / Art: Luke Horsman / Letters: Annie Parkhouse

ENEMY EARTH // Book One, part nine

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 a young boy, who has been living for five years in a bunker with his protective robot. It turns out he’s the prime minister’s son…

Script: Guy Adams / Art: Jimmy Broxton / Letters: Jim Campbell

HOPE // …in The Shadows Reel Two, part seven

An alternate 1940s USA. WWII is over, victory having been secured by occult means, and consequently magic is a part of everyday life. Mallory HOPE is one such skilled operative, though calling on the dark arts takes its toll on the user. He’s also a P.I., hired for all manner of down n’ dirty jobs — and an investigation into a cursed movie has led to the reappearance of Hope’s missing wife, Alice, who has plans for the film…

Script: Ian Edginton / Art: Warren Pleece / Letters: Simon Bowland

FIENDS OF THE WESTERN FRONT // Wilde West: Prologue

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. Now, he’s in Nebraska in 1882…

Welcome to the fourth and last Regened issue of 2022, and once more I have a prime selection of Thrills for Terrans of all sizes. Cadet Dredd is joined by his clone-brother Rico at the Mega-City One docks as they investigate a suspicious ship in ‘Undertow’ by Paul Starkey, Silvia Califano and Gary Welsh; the Welsh art-droid also collaborates with writer David Barnett on another Chopper adventure, ‘All For One’, as Marlon Shakespeare learns something about solidarity amongst his fellow juves.

There’s a one-off tale of the unexpected in Future Shocks with ‘The Planet Breakers’ by Karl Stock and Karl Richardson; the twenty-fifth century sport of Gravity Blading makes its debut in the pilot episode of new story Bladers by James Peaty and Leigh Gallagher, introducing Abi Caine’s misfit team the Gravity Bombshells; and there’s humour and carnage as we visit the early days of maniac-for-hire Ulysses Sweet in ‘Psychobaby’.

Yep, it’s the usual Joko mix of the strange, the surreal and the scrotnig! Don’t forget, you can now pick up no less than four zarjaz volumes of Regened stories, collected as trade paperbacks, available from shop.2000AD.com — the ideal Xmas present for every Squaxx. Enjoy, Earthlets!

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…

Best-selling Best of 2000 AD reprint arrives at distributors

It’s one of the UK’s best-selling graphic novels – and a brand new print run of Best of 2000 AD Vol.1 is now available.

The smash hit of the summer and backed by an international influencer campaign on Tiktok and Instagram, Best of 2000 AD Vol.1 hit number three in the UK’s top-selling graphic novels at launch in September – with copies in the UK running out a full two weeks before the official publication date and stock in the US running low, even after a restock.

A new print run has just arrived with distributors in the UK, and comic book retailers and book stores are being urged to grab fresh copies of Best of 2000 AD Vol.1 while they can to meet demand.

Never before has a 2000 AD graphic novel sold out before it publication date, reflecting the excitement for what Wired called ‘a near-perfect primer for what makes 2000 AD so special’, while comicbook.com said it is ‘hard to imagine a better entry point into that world than Best of 2000 AD’.

Owen Johnson, editor on Best of 2000 AD, said: ’I’m ecstatic but not surprised that Best of 2000 AD has proven a hit, we worked hard to make it one – and thanks to all the new faces and loyal fans, our distributors, and crucially the comic and book stores hand-selling it; they’re all responsible for this success.

‘Best of 2000 AD’s popularity is validating, and proof that not only is there hunger for this timeless comic after 45 years, but a whole new audience is waiting to connect if we evolve. 2000 AD, like all comics, should be for everyone.’

Best of 2000 AD is a six-volume landmark quarterly graphic novel series from the cult comic. The second volume is now available for pre-order and will go on sale in January 2023, with a cover by Becky Cloonan (Batman) and stories by Al Ewing, Colin Wilson, Alan Moore, Steve Dillon, Kevin O’Neill and many more.

With design by industry legend Tom Muller (X-Men), each volume includes 200 pages bursting with hand-curated stories old and new from the legendary comic book and, with no knowledge of continuity required, this is a series absolutely tailor-made to bring in new readers.

The first volume in this landmark series includes a cover by superstar artist Jamie McKelvie (The Wicked & The Divine), the first part of Alan Moore and Ian Gibson’s feminist space opera The Ballad of Halo Jones, the first part of Dan Abnett and INJ Culbard’s modern sci-fi noir Brink, two complete Judge Dredd stories by John Wagner, Kev Walker, Brendan McCarthy and Jamie Hewlett, alien delinquents D.R. & Quinch causing mayhem courtesy of Jamie Delano and Alan Davis, John Wagner and Carlos Ezquerra’s mutant bounty hunters Strontium Dog, and Alan Grant and Arthur Ranson’s stunning Judge Anderson: Shamballa with an essay by comics critic Adam Karenina Sherif.
