Welcome back to Thrill-central, my Squaxx, where excitement and adventure is guaranteed.

Take a look at the line-up within this prog and try not to salivate on the pages — Dredd’s desperate trek for survival reaches its penultimate part in Rob Williams and RM Guera’s Rend & Tear With Tooth & Claw; Bridget Kurtis and co arrive at Belleholme Habitat and already the dogged Kurtis is keen to look into its police files in the Abnett and Culbard droids’ Brink; Aquila’s in the thick of battle as the whole of Hades rises up in rebellion, courtesy of Gordon Rennie and Patrick Goddard; Proteus Vex comes under dissection in Devious by the Carroll and Lynch droids; and the borders between realities break down entirely in the penultimate part of Indigo Prime: Black Monday by Kek-W and Lee Carter. An extraordinary panoply of worlds, all contained within these scrotnig covers, I think you’ll agree!

JUDGE DREDD // REND & TEAR WITH TOOTH & CLAW, Part Five

Mega-City One, 2146 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, he’s crash-landed in the radlands, and come under attack by a rampaging grizzly bear…

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, often spilling over into madness. Sects are rife, and Bridget Kurtis of the Habitat Security Division is investigating their reach…

Now, Aquila has travelled into Hades and retrieved the spirit of Nero, who knows Ammit’s location…

Yes, it’s that time of the week again, my Squaxx, when you get to escape everyday reality — if just for the time it takes to peruse and absorb these pulse-pounding pages — and be transported to the circuit-shattering worlds of the Galaxy’s Greatest Comic. Inside this ghafflebette prog, you’ll find the latest high-octane instalments of Judge Dredd, Brink, Aquila, Proteus Vex and Indigo Prime, brought to you by the fevered imaginations of my creator droids.

Many of you may be wondering, is this a utopian vision of the future I can get behind — mechanoids programmed to deliver high-intensity entertainment under the direct rule of an alien overlord, who demands nothing less than total subservience?

Well, all I can say is, it works for me — and the end result is pretty damn scrotnig!

ATTENTION, EARTHLETS – 2000 AD Prog 2377 is OUT NOW!

I am The Mighty Tharg, a cosmic being from Betelgeuse with the awesome power to Thrill!

You know, a question many of your species has pondered over the last few years has been to do with the nature of reality — or, more pertinently, is what you’re witnessing actually what it purports to be? Yes, I’m talking about Is it Cake?, a televisual journey into existentialism that asks you — can you truly rely on your senses that you’ve used to navigate this world since birth? Or are you being fooled, and notions of what you thought was real can easily be undone? Is that really a shoe? A handbag? A bowl of fruit? Or is it just cake?

It’s something I mull over here in the Command Module in this age of manipulated reality — replace cake with artificial intelligence and it becomes more sinister. Do I hold in my hand something that was created by a single imagination, or a code inputted into a program? Is it what it claims to be, or an approximation of a creative endeavour? A computerised recreation of artistry?

Needless to say, nothing but pure zarjaz creativity here in these pages, with the return of Aquila and the finale to Full Tilt Boogie. Be here in seven for the start for Brink Book Six, humes!

2000 AD Prog 2377 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!

Duncan Jones Wraps Principal Photography on Rogue Trooper Movie

Duncan Jones’ (Moon, Source Code, Warcraft, Mute) eagerly anticipated movie adaptation of classic British comic Rogue Trooper has wrapped principal photography in the UK. Written and directed by Jones, Rogue Trooper  is an animated science fiction feature from Rebellion and Liberty Films.

Shot at Rebellion Film Studios in Oxfordshire, breakout talent Aneurin Barnard (The Goldfinch, Dunkirk) stars as the eponymous Rogue Trooper, alongside Hayley Atwell (Captain America: The First Avenger, Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One), Jack Lowden (Slow Horses, Dunkirk), Daryl McCormack (Bad Sisters, Good Luck To You Leo Grande), and Reece Shearsmith (Inside No. 9, Saltburn). Rounding out the cast is an incredible ensemble, which includes Jemaine Clement (Avatar 2: The Way of Water), Matt Berry (What We Do in the Shadows), Diane Morgan (Cunk on Earth), Alice Lowe (Black Mirror), Asa Butterfield (Sex Education, Hugo) and Sean Bean (Game of Thrones, The Lord of the Rings).

Sign up for the latest news here >>

Rogue Trooper tells the story of 19, a ‘Genetic Infantryman’, who finds himself the sole-survivor of an invasion force. Desperate to track down the traitor who sold him and his comrades out, the super soldier is accompanied by three killed-in-action squad mates, whose personalities have been stored in his gun, helmet and rucksack.

Filmmaker Duncan Jones said: “2000 AD offers a very different flavour of comic action: Political and brutal at times, but always with a Pythonesque twinkle in the eye. Dredd (2012) was a taste of what 2000 AD has to offer and now we get to show the world another side of the beast. It is a genuine privilege to be given the opportunity to make Rogue Trooper.”

Treehouse Digital (The Well) is creating all imagery and animation for the film, working with Jones to bring to life the world of Rogue Trooper from concept art to final pixel in Unreal Engine 5.

Producer Stuart Fenegan commented: “The advancements in Unreal Engine 5 and the inclusion of MetaHuman rigs mean that it is now possible to achieve a very high standard of animation within an indie budget. Working with our amazing partners at Rebellion, Epic and Treehouse Digital we are pioneering and developing a new creative pipeline that will enable independent production of CG animated films.”

Unreal Engine from Epic is a development platform that enables creators across numerous industries to realise real-time 3D content and experiences.

It has been filmed at our dedicated Oxfordshire film studios and combines beautiful storytelling from our iconic 2000 AD comic book universe with animation and production technology from the video game industry. We cannot wait for everyone to see these incredible stories bought to life on screen.”

The Rogue Trooper comic was created by legendary artist Dave Gibbons (Watchmen, Kingsman) and writer Gerry Finley-Day (Dan Dare) and released by British publishers 2000 AD, home to Judge DreddHalo Jones and Sláine.

Rogue Trooper: Blighty Valley

Through the fog of Nu-Earth comes a brutal and hard-hitting new story featuring the Genetic Infantryman, Rogue Trooper, from the powerhouse creative team of Garth Ennis and Patrick Goddard!

Nu Earth is the site of a galactic war between the Norts and the Southers, and the Genetic Infantrymen like Rogue Trooper have been created solely for this war. However, after the betrayal of the Traitor General Rogue is the last of his kind, and together with biochip buddies Helm, Gunnar and Bagman, they’re searching for the traitor that sold them out.

But now the black hole above Nu-Earth causes a time-rift, and Rogue must team up with British soldiers from World War One to fight both the Hun and the Norts, fix the time barrier, and get back to his original mission.

Garth Ennis (The Boys, Preacher) writes this new, standalone Rogue Trooper adventure – melding together historical action with the sci-fi adventure that is the core of 2000 AD – drawn by Patrick Goddard, who brings the character back in a style reminiscent of the classic Rogue Trooper artists.

Releasing on the 2nd July 2024, Rogue Trooper: Blighty Valley is an incredible new addition to the classic canon of stories featuring the Genetic Infantryman! Pre-order now to reserve your copy!
