Call me The Mighty Tharg, the being from Betelgeuse, who brings you galactic Thrill-power!

Welcome, my Squaxx, to the second bumper prog of 2024 — these 48-page issues allow me to include extra stories alongside the ongoing series and also provide a venue for the launch of brand-new strips.

Wessel and artist Dan Cornwell. Add to that there’s also two complete stories — the Future Shock Happy Wife from Laura Bailey and Stewart K. Moore, and Gemma Sheldrake provides an unsettling horror-western tale in The Lord Provides!

JUDGE DREDD // IRON TEETH, 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, a band of juves have headed into the Undercity to seek an mythical monster and Dredd’s in pursuit…

Script: Dan Abnett / Art: INJ Culbard / Letters: Simon Bowland

BRINK // CONSUMED, Part Nine

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

Script: Geoffrey D. Wessel / Art: Dan Cornwell /Colours: Chris Blythe / Letters: Jim Campbell

ROGUE TROOPER // SOUTHER BELLE, Part One

Nu Earth, site of a galactic war between the Norts and the Southers, where use of chemical weapons has rendered the atmosphere poisonous. So the Southers created the Genetic Infantrymen, bred to be immune to the planet’s pollutants — G.I.s like ROGUE TROOPER, the last of his kind. Together with biochip buddies Helm, Gunnar and Bagman, they’re searching for the traitor that sold them out…

Script: Gemma Sheldrake / Art: Petite Creme / Letters: Jim Campbell

THE LORD PROVIDES

Nevada, 1833, and a young preacher arrives at an isolated mid-western town to replace the former priest, who has taken unwell. Although the town is recovering from a meteor shower that destroyed several buildings and blocked roads, the people seem strangely upbeat and unconcerned. Resources have also taken a hit, and yet no one appears to be going hungry…

Script: Arthur Wyatt / Art & Letters: Pye Parr

INTESTINAUTS // BUSTED FLUSH, Part Five

For stomach upsets, future tech has developed nano-robots called INTESTINAUTS, who fight parasites in the gut. These micro-droids are ingested orally, then once their battle against the various horrors that can be found in the stomach is over, they take the Big Flush, ready to be uploaded back to headquarters. Now, the lab has been compromised, and they’ve battled the terrifying Omega-Genocide-Four…

Script: Laura Bailey / Art: Stewart K. Moore / Letters: Annie Parkhouse

FUTURE SHOCK // HAPPY WIFE

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. Abandon your preconceptions, and expect the unexpected…

Script: Mike Carroll / Art: Jake Lynch / Colours: Jim Boswell / Letters: Simon Bowland

PROTEUS VEX // DEVIOUS, Part Twelve

The far future. The centuries-long war between the Alliance and the Obdurate people is over, a conflict ended when the Alliance teleported a dying white dwarf star into the Obdurate system. Imperium agent PROTEUS VEX — who is operated by a flesh-pilot — became an enemy of the Alliance when he released info about past war crimes. In the wake of the war with the Scorchers, Vex has been presumed dead, but he’s alive…

ATTENTION, EARTHLETS – 2000 AD Prog 2385 is OUT NOW!

Weep with joy and buckle your diodes — I am The Mighty Tharg and I bring you Thrill-power!

We surge into summer like a squad of Intestinauts falling upon a bacterial cluster in your upper colon — June is upon us and the Thrills are hot, hot, hot! Dredd edges closer to a confrontation with the Undercity entity known as Iron Teeth; Kurtis and Lind wrestle sigils in Brink; the net is closing in on Proteus Vex; the microbial cover stars come face to cerebellum with the mysterious Dr Globulon; and 3riller Blue Skies Over Deadwick reaches its explosive finale. All in all, another packed prog of searing sci-fi to fry your imaginations!

I expect many of you Squaxx picture the Command Module to be a dark and gritty environment, in which stories of anti-heroes battling hostile worlds are conjured into being — and, to be fair, it is ninety per cent of the time like that — but here at Thrill-Central we’re not averse to a little romance, which is why my droids have been working hard on a new Kickstarter project that sees the return of classic title Roxy as an eighty-page special.

The crowd-funding launches this month — check it out, Terrans!

The settlement of Deadwick, last refuge of the humans, is under constant assault from gigantic robots, and to defeat them they must be climbed and their brains deactivated.

ATTENTION, EARTHLETS – 2000 AD Prog 2384 is OUT NOW!

I am The Mighty Tharg, all-powerful alien editor of this brain-sizzling soup of Thrill-power!

Indeed, the Galaxy’s Greatest Comic is much like a cauldron into which various ingredients are dropped and stirred, creating a flavoursome mix where the components complement each other and the result is a tasty stew of zarjazness.

Take, for example, the dark, bitter tang of Judge Dredd, smoky with menace as the lawman heads deeper into the Undercity in pursuit of the juves searching for the mythical monster Iron Teeth — its spine-tingling texture works perfectly with the dayglo sweetness of Intestinauts, that sugar underscored with notes of gut-bot. Then there’s the slow-burn unease of Brink, lingering on the palate long after the story is finished, its myriad elements revealing themselves over time, clashing with the oddball sprinkles of alien weirdness that Proteus Vex brings, sharp snaps that blossom in the imagination like synaptic fireworks.

Add to that the caffeine rush of the 3riller, superheated for maximum impact, and you hold in your hands quite the delicacy, carefully put together by this Betelgeusian chef and my minions. Consume with a favourite beverage, and enjoy, Terrans!

ATTENTION, EARTHLETS – 2000 AD Prog 2383 is OUT NOW!

Call me The Mighty Tharg, Betelgeusian overlord at the helm of this awesome anthology!

This prog a new story joins the ghafflebette line-up of Judge Dredd, Brink, Proteus Vex and Intestinauts as script-droid David Baillie and artbot Nick Brokenshire collaborate on the latest 3riller to be fired from my Thrill-creation tank, Blue Skies Over Deadwick! Talking of blue skies, at the time of writing it looks like spring in the UK has finally arrived, and the incessant rain that marked April has at last ceased and been replaced by some warmer days.

It makes little difference to my creator-meks — they toil in their work-cubicles whatever the weather, and the Galaxy’s Greatest Comic is delivered onto the shuttles every week regardless — but even for a being from Quaxxann such as myself, spend enough time in the UK and you become involved in the national obsession.

If the Command Module had landed in a different country back in 1977, maybe I wouldn’t be as interested as the varying temperatures outside the Nerve Centre — but for a twist of the navi- comp, 2000 AD could be coming to you from the North Pole, and Judge Shako would be the lead character…

Welcome, Thrill-seekers, to your latest weekly blast of circuit-scorching excitement, courtesy of my rivet-bustingly busy creator droids.

Maybe you’re a long-term Squaxx and you were there for her debut in The Judge Child in 1980; perhaps you caught up a little later when she reappeared across the decades in stories like Destiny’s Angels, The Graveyard Shift or The Doomsday Scenario, after which she ascended to the highest office in Mega-City One. Or there were the series of solo adventures that were a regular part of the Megazine’s line-up during the nineties.

Either way, Judge Barbara Hershey has been a significant and iconic character for many, many years, both a reliable ally for Dredd and in more recent years someone with whom he clashed over policy. But now we wave farewell to Hershey as her post-Smiley mission has come to an end, and the pathogen that has been slowly consuming her can no longer be fended off.

Terrans, I bid you to raise a glass (or polystyrene cup, your choice) and say goodbye to Hershey — bringing the law to the lawless until death!

2000 AD Prog 2349 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!

JUDGE DREDD // A Fallen Man, Part Eight

Mega-City One, 2145 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, former Judge Kyle Asher is attempting to flee the city, having betrayed his Mob employers…

Script: Eddie Robson / Art: Nick Brokenshire / Letters: Annie Parkhouse

THARG’S 3RILLERS // DIE HOARD, Part Three

Three episodes, one complete, self-contained story — a condensed hit of super-charged Thrill-power beamed to you directly from the Nerve Centre! Earth, the twenty-second century, in the aftermath of a brutal war with an alien race called the Imishoi. A house-clearance team are assessing the hundreds of items that have been hoarded in a reclusive millionaire’s mansion — but the house’s A.I. is still active…

Script: Dan Abnett / Art: Tazio Bettin / Colours: Matt Soffe / Letters: Jim Campbell

AZIMUTH // INFLICTER OF SORROWS

Welcome to the city of AZIMUTH, a data-driven metropolis, where anything is possible. Ruled by an aristocracy of the New Flesh, such concepts of life, death, and body-forms are fluid. Anyone can take any shape, if it can be conceived by the imagination. The New Flesh masters have been troubled by strange dreams and portents, which have predicted the coming of a stranger — none other than Ramone Dexter…

Script: Rob Williams / Art: Simon Fraser / Letters: Simon Bowland

HERSHEY // THE COLD IN THE BONES, Part Eight

Barbara Hershey was a respected young officer before she became Chief Judge. Leading the city through numerous challenges, the ‘Small House’ affair and the revelation of Judge Smiley’s clandestine operations on her watch made her re-evaluate her position. Seriously ill from a microbial virus, she’s faked her death to deal with his legacy, and now, with the case closed, her time is almost up…

ATTENTION, EARTHLETS – 2000 AD Prog 2348 is OUT NOW!

Alien editor Tharg The Mighty here once again, delivering Thrill-power to your needy circuits!

Things are coming close to wrapping up in this prog, as we hit the penultimate parts of Judge Dredd thriller A Fallen Man, Azimuth, the 3riller Die Hoard, and Hershey’s elegiac outing The Cold in the Bones. Add to that a complete Future Shock, Fear & Loathing of Las Vegas, by the Hartley and Currie droids, and it’s an issue thrumming with sheer momentum. Be here in seven for multiple finales across the board!

Indeed, be here in a fortnight and you’ll have the pleasure of diving into the zarjaz Prog 2350, a bumper outing so expansive that it spills into Meg 460 too, which is on sale the same day (yes, like the zombie spectacular last year, you’ll get the most from the experience if you purchase both titles). So what’s the theme of 2023’s scrotnig special?

Well, long-term Squaxx will be aware that both Starlord and Tornado were merged with 2000 AD, bringing with them select characters such as Strontium Dog and Blackhawk. But what if, in an alternate past, Battle Action folded into the GGC, and the likes of Major Eazy, Hellman and El Mestizo joined the SF line-up? What then, Terrans? What then? Stay tuned!

2000 AD Prog 2348 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!

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. Abandon your preconceptions, and expect the unexpected…

BORAG THUNGG, EARTHLETS! I am alien editor Tharg The Mighty, here once again to overload your Thrill-sensors!

We’re back after last week’s all-ages intervention helmed by my nephew Joko, and Judge Dredd: A Fallen Man, Azimuth: The Stranger and Hershey: The Cold in the Bones are all continuing, while Portals & Black Goo reaches its ghafflebette finale. Joining the line-up is another of my 3rillers in the shape of the zarjaz Die Hoard by Eddie Robson and Nick Brokenshire, plus I publish the winning Art Stars Dredd one-pager by Alan Kerr!

We’re just three weeks away from the ultrascrotnig Prog 2350 and the amazing delights it contains — more news on what you’ll find inside that bumper issue to come — but while you’re eagerly anticipating that particular Thrill-splurge, make sure you keep your circuits topped up by immersing yourself in Meg 459, which features three new stories: there’s a complete Dredd, another retro Mega-City 2099 thriller, and the start of IDW’s short-lived Rogue Trooper series by Brian Ruckley and Alberto Ponticelli.

Add to that more Lawless, Dreadnoughts, Johnny Red and Spector, interviews with John Stokes and Steve Sampson and much more, it’d be a crime to miss it!
