JUDGE DREDD // GUATEMALA

John Wagner (Script) Colin MacNeil (Art) Chris Blythe (Colours) Annie Parkhouse (Letters)

Mega-City One, 2141 AD. Home to over 130 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, former Chief Judge Hershey has revealed that she’s dying from a pathogen, and is facing her final days…

 

HOPE // UNDER FIRE

Guy Adams (Script) Jimmy Broxton (Art) Ellie De Ville (Letters)

An alternate 1940s USA. WWII is over, victory having been secured by occult means. Now, magic is a part of everyday life, its practitioners commonplace. Mallory HOPE is one such skilled operative, though calling on the dark arts takes its toll on the user. He’s also a private investigator, hired for all manner of down n’ dirty jobs, and now his services have taken him to New York at the behest of an old army colleague…

 

BRINK // HATE BOX

Dan Abnett (Script) I. N. J. Culbrad (Art) Simon Bowland (Letters)

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, with many spilling over into madness — as HSD cop Bridget Kurtis has discovered in her investigations into violent sect crimes…

 

FUTURE SHOCKS // RESTRUCTURING

Karl Stock (Script) Will Simpson (Art) Annie Parkhouse (Letters)

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, so abandon your preconceptions, and expect the unexpected…

 

ANDERSON; PSI-DIVISION // JUDGE DEATH: THE MOVIE

Alan Grant (Script) Jake Lynch (Art) Jim Boswell (Colours) Simon Bowland (Letters)

Mega-City One, 2141 AD.

Cassandra ANDERSON is Psi-Div’s top telepath, who’s been responsible for saving the city on numerous occasions — not least against the undead superfiend Judge Death…

 

DEFOE // THE DIVISOR

Pat Mills (Script) S. K. Moore (Art) Ellie De Ville (Letters)

London, 1668. It is two years since the city was devastated by the Great Fire. From the ashes rose the undead, hungry for the flesh of the living. Protecting the populace are zombie hunters like Titus DEFOE, a former Leveller, who now makes it his mission to rid the capital of the ghouls. In this strange, clockpunk alternate past, supernatural entities have been passing info to humanity, enabling them to build rocketships…

 

SINISTER DEXTER // WAITING IN CHAIRS

Dan Abnett (Script) Steve Yeowell (Art) John Charles (Colours) Ellie De Ville (Letters)

Downlode gun-sharks Finnigan SINISTER and Ramone DEXTER are the best triggers money can buy. Having whacked Holy Moses Tanenbaum, a ganglord from an alternate dimension whose presence threatened the fabric of reality, they’ve found killing him reset the continuum, meaning no one knows who they are, apart from hacker Billi Octavo. Now, after a bodyguarding gig went south, Dexter has been badly injured…

 

THE FALL OF DEADWORLD // DOOMED

Kek-W (Script) Dave Kendall (Art) Annie Parkhouse (Letters)

The planet that eventually became known as DEADWORLD was once a regular civilisation existing in a dimension parallel to our own. But the end of days is coming, and creatures known as the Dark Judges are spreading their contagion, exterminating all life. While the survivors attempt to resist the undead horde, the neighbouring Soviets have seen the chaos as an ideal time to launch an attack on their enemies…

BORAG THUNGG, EARTHLETS!

Everything wraps up this issue, Terrans, as we reach the final instalments of the current Dredd, Jaegir and Sinister Dexter thrillers — joined by a spooky oneoff Future Shock from the McCann and Fabry droids — which means that a whole new roster of stunning stories commences next week in the bumper Prog 2150.

Alongside Judge Dredd: Guatemala and Defoe: The Divisor, be prepared for the next arc in the Brink saga, Hate Box, by Dan Abnett and INJ Culbard, the latest dispatch from The Fall of Deadworld, Doomed, by Kek-W and Dave Kendall, and the return of private detective Mallory Hope in Under Fire by Guy Adams and Jimmy Broxton.

Add to that a complete Anderson, Psi-Div tale by Alan Grant and Jake Lynch and much more, and you have an unmissable jumping-on prog!

Alas, there is some sad news to impart too — artdroid Nigel Dobbyn tragically died of a heart attack two weeks ago, at the age of fifty-six. A regular presence in these pages in the eighties and nineties, drawing Medivac 318 as well as series like Trash and Strontium Dogs, he was an enormously accomplished artist. A full obituary will be published in Meg 413, but for now our condolences to his family and friends.

2000 AD Prog 2149 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!

FUTURE SHOCKS // CONGESTED ANIMA

Mark McCann (w) Glenn Fabry w. Karen Holloway (a) Adam Brown (c) Ellie De Ville (l)

Out in the vast reaches of the universe, there are an infinite number of stories waiting to be told.

Now, after being tortured by her Souther captors, Jaegir’s broken free just as her team storm the compound in a bid to rescue her…

BORAG THUNGG, EARTHLETS!

Quaequam blag, what a stuffed prog we have for you this week, Terrans — you can barely slide a flattened Gronk between the stories, and so rammed is it with zarjazosity that we’ve had to allow Jaegir to spill over onto the back cover.

Within these pages you’ll also find the penultimate parts of both Judge Dredd: The Fall of Barbarbara Grimm and Sinister Dexter: Narrow Minded plus the scrotnig final instalments of Indigo Prime and Red Road.

That means that everything wraps up in seven days’ time ready for my next bumper jumping-on issue, Prog 2150, out on 25 September!

Subscribes, and the eagle eyed of you on social media, might have seen a sneaky peek of the Dredd thriller starting in 2150, Guatemala, by John Wagner and Colin MacNeil, which of course you won’t want to miss for fear of circuit-failure — but what else will be joining it?

Well, another series that we’re excited about is Defoe: The Divisor by Pat Mills and debuting art droid Stuart Kenneth Moore, which sees the return of the seventeenth-century zombie-hunter, and this time he’s facing a threat that comes from beyond this planet. With the British and Dutch governments racing to be the first to the moon, there are otherworldly entities taking advantage of their rush into space…

This, plus new Hope, Brink, The Fall of Deadworld PLUS new Anderson, Psi-Division, Sinister Dexter AND a Future Shock means that this issue is guaranteed to thrill both of your socks off! It launches September 25th for the small price of £4.99 human money, so don’t miss it humes!

JUDGE DREDD // CONTROL – Part Four

By Rob Williams (w) Chris Weston (a) Chris Blythe (c) Annie Parkhouse (l)

Mega-City One, 2141 AD. Home to over 130 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! The insane SJS Judge Pin murders officers that fall short of her standards, and now she’s captured Dredd, rendering him blind…

 

INDIGO PRIME // FALL OF THE HOUSE OF VISTA – Part Six

Kek-W (w) Lee Carter (a) Ellie De Ville (l)

The multiverse. There is an infinite number of parallel realities, and all need managing in case of dimensional instability. This is where INDIGO PRIME comes in, the multiverse’s troubleshooters, whose agents — recruited post-death — are trained to deal with space/ time catastrophes. Now, following the Christhulhu event, in which Major Arcana forced the Lanzer Corporation into the open, IP’s HQ has been destroyed…

 

ANDERSON, PSI-DIVISION // MARTYRS – Part Eight

Emma Beeby (w) Aneke (a) Barbara Nosenzo (c) Simon Bowland (l)

Mega-City One, 2141 AD. Psi-Div is a section of Justice Department that specialises in Judges with accentuated psychic talents — from precognition to exorcism, its operatives deal with all manner of paranormal crimes, and Cassandra ANDERSON is Psi-Div’s top telepath. Now she’s been trying to rehabilitate Psi-Judge Karyn, who can’t control the monster that dwells within her, and tracked down where she’s been abducted to…

 

THISTLEBONE // PART TEN

T.C. Eglington (w) Simon Davis (a) Annie Parkhouse (l)

England, 2019. The rural village of Harrowvale holds a dark past — namely that, on a farm bordering the vast tracts of woodland, it hosted a cult seeking to escape civilisation, worshipping an ancient deity called THISTLEBONE. Led by the charismatic Jasper illman, their pagan beliefs grew ever more radical to the point where they tried to  sacrifice the young Avril Eason. She escaped, and now, years later, Avril has returned to Harrowvale with journalist Seema Chaudry to ensure that the cult is truly dead…

 

JAEGIR // VALKYRIE – Part One

Gordon Rennie (w) Simon Coleby (a) Gary Caldwell (c) Ellie De Ville (l)

The Greater Nordland Republic. While the Norts are currently engaged in a galaxy-wide war with the Souther forces, it falls to military officers such as Kapiten-Inspector Atalia JAEGIR of the Nordland State Security Police to investigate war criminals amongst her own ranks. She’s also suffering from the Strigoi curse, a fault in the Nort DNA that can bring out the beast within. Now, she’s in the hands of the Souther enemy…

BORAG THUNGG, EARTHLETS!

We’ve got another absolutely packed prog for you this week, Thrill-hungry Squaxx, with every page thrumming with zarjazosity!

We enter the crazed mind of the psychopathic Judge Pin and learn something of her past in Judge Dredd: Control, there’s giant-monster smackdown action in Indigo Prime, Anderson tries to convince Karyn not to succumb to the psi-paradise in Martyrs, Avril finally confronts the figure that led her back to Harrowvale in the penultimate episode of Thistlebone, and we wave goodbye to that cantankerous old copper Harry Absalom in the final part of Gordon Rennie and Tiernen Trevallion’s supernatural saga.

Who lives? Who dies? You know where the answers lie, Terrans — don’t let us stop you from racing ahead to find out!

Next week sees the final instalments of Anderson, Psi-Division and Thistlebone – don’t miss it, Terrans!

Strange times in this country that the Mighty Tharg has set up home in — back in 1977, social turmoil saw anger and satire manifest as punk-SF energy within these pages, and now, as we write these words, there’s a new PM, who could well divide the nation even further. As the Establishment closes ranks, never has 2000 AD’s position as the antidote to grim reality been more important. Join us every week, humes, as we head beyond the here and now and enter the Thrillsphere!

2000 AD Prog 2143 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!

ABSALOM // TERMINAL DIAGNOSIS – Part Eight

Ian Edginton (w) Leigh Gallagher (a) Ellie De Ville (l)

UK, 2017. Inspector Harry ABSALOM is an old-school copper — curmudgeonly antiauthoritarian, he’s been with the force for over forty years. Suffering from cancer, he’s the head of a special squad that enforces The Accord, a diplomatic treaty made in the 16th century between the throne of England and the powers of Hell. Now, he’s leading a unit that is storming The Mills, a demon stronghold, to rescue his grandchildren…
