NEMESIS THE WARLOCK DEFINITIVE EDITION VOL.2

The Definitive series of the Nemesis the Warlock saga continues as Torquemada’s crusade to destroy all alien life reaches the planet of the Goths, a species of alien which has modelled their culture on early twentieth-century Britain. Nemesis must team up with the Goth leader, the Ion Duke, to stop them being eradicated by Torquemada’s army of Terminators.

Collecting the entire series in order, with the colour centre-spread pages reproduced in their original form, the Definitive collection of Nemesis the Warlock is the ultimate way to read one of the most important sci-fi sagas published in the pages of 2000 AD.

Written by Pat Mills (Marshal Law) and drawn by Kevin O’Neill (League of Extraordinary Gentlemen) and Bryan Talbot (Sandman, The Adventures of Luther Arkwright), this definitive series is a collection of the complete storyline in order.

Long regarded as one of the crown-jewel epics from the pages of 2000 AD, this new series of paperbacks of Nemesis the Warlock is being published alongside gorgeous hardcover editions with stunningly designed new covers – available only from the 2000 AD webshop – that present O’Neill’s groundbreaking and mind-bending art in all its glory.

Burning with iconoclastic fire and wild invention, Nemesis the Warlock is the satirical sci-fi space opera that helped place 2000 AD as the true cutting edge, and catapulted Mills and O’Neill into the comics stratosphere.

But there is rebellion and resistance to his rule in the form of a devilish-looking alien warlock called Nemesis, who represents everything that Torquemada hates and fears. Together Nemesis and Torquemada are locked in a duel which will affect the fate of humanity and each of them on a personal level as their conflict spans time and space!

PRE-ORDER ON AUDIBLE

Five previous multi-award-winning audiobooks were released in 2021, featuring the works of Garth Ennis and Alan Moore, with an ensemble cast including Joseph Fiennes, Richard Armitage, Colin Morgan, Nina Sosanya, and more. This new series will focus on some of 2000 AD’s best-loved characters and stories, including Judge Dredd, Judge Death, Rogue Trooper, Judge Anderson and Nemesis the Warlock, and will also see the Dredd: Origins story explored for the first time in audio. 

As well as Penguin and Rebellion Publishing working collectively on these releases, they have brought in genre and pop culture specialist Jamie-Lee Nardone. ‘I’m a big fan of audiobooks and believe there is so much potential. We’re now seeing Science Fiction as the second most downloaded genre for audio, and this has a huge crossover audience with graphic novels. We know that performance and tone of voice is key for audio – which is exactly why these adaptations are so good.’

The themes in these graphic novels, published up to 30 years ago, are perhaps more prescient than ever before; including politics and voter fraud (and some listeners might find the eccentric President Booth in Dredd: Origins a little too familiar…) as well as the exploration of a broken politics system, which brings about the rule of the Judges. Dredd: Origins also explores the spectre of future genetic manipulation. Judge Anderson brings the dissection of religion, and the rise of cult figures. In Rogue Trooper we are immersed in a post-apocalyptic and war torn planet which is no longer suitable for human habitation, it’s a haunting look at a possible future.
