ATTENTION, EARTHLETS – 2000 AD Prog 2406 is OUT NOW!
I am The Mighty Tharg, alien editor of this award-winning, globally acclaimed SF anthology!
Welcome, Thrill-seekers, to the latest pulsepounding issue of the Galaxy’s Greatest Comic, which this week is a 48-page bumper bundle of zarjazness. Don’t just take my word for it (even though you should, for I am a Betelgeusian being of supreme intellect) — just take a gander at the line-up and tell me your circuits aren’t tingling with anticipation.
Inside, you’ll find a special one-off clash between two 2000 AD titans, Sam Slade and Johnny Alpha, courtesy of Garth Ennis and Henry Flint, following up their Dredd vs Robo-Hunter tale from Prog 2351, alongside a complete Terror Tale from the Whiting and Taylor droids. Add to that there’s a Dredd thriller from Ken Niemand and Dan Cornwell — another sequel, this time to Prog 2267’s story — plus the latest instalments of The Out, Rogue Trooper and Nightmare New York.
On top of all that, we also have the return of Dan Abnett and Tazio Bettin’s eye-popping Azimuth, and the final episode of Brink epic Consumed. But fear not — work has commenced on Book 7: The Call of the Void.
Enjoy, my Squaxx, enjoy!
2000 AD Prog 2406 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!
