Everyone craves more video games based on 2000 AD characters, but the relationship between comics and games isn’t all one way – this week on the official 2000 AD podcast we talk to two writers and a game-maker about comics based on video games and video games based on comics, from Dredd vs Death to Zombie Army: Last Rites via Wardog, the game that only made it half way!

The 2000 AD Thrill-Cast: New talent panels at Thought Bubble 2019

At this year’s Thought Bubble convention, 2000 AD returned with the only talent search of its kind in the UK – with the prizes being paid work with the Galaxy’s Greatest Comic!

It’s Dragons’ Den meets the Nerve Centre as Tharg the Mighty’s droids sit in judgement on hopeful writers and artists looking to join their ranks – and you can now listen to both of the panels on the latest edition of The 2000 AD Thrill-Cast!

The script competition, at which would-be writers have two minutes to pitch their idea for a Future Shock, took place on the Saturday afternoon in front of a panel made up of current 2000 AD editor and writer Matt Smith, writer Leah Moore, and writer and former 2000 AD editor Andy Diggle. Almost 30 entrants nervously awaited the chance to stand before a live audience and deliver their pitch, with a dozen making it through in time!

For the art competition, entrants had to draw pages from ‘The Ticket’, a Terror Tale by Paul Tobin and originally drawn by Dan Cornwell. After getting through a HUGE line of would-be contestants, 2000 AD editor Matt Smith chose nine entries to go forward to the judging panel on the Sunday morning. In front of a live audience the panel – made up of writer Leah Moore (Storm Warning), and artists Mike Dowling (Anderson, Psi Division) and Frazer Irving (Judge Death) – went through each entry and gave advice to the artists on how to improve their work.

The 2000 AD Thrill-Cast: When Comics Went To War @ NYCC

From Captain America punching Hitler to the horrors of the Somme in Charley’s War, war stories have been an enduring genre of comic books since their earliest days.

At New York Comic Con, Rebellion came together with new US publisher Dead Reckoning, part of the Naval Institute, for a panel in which experienced creators discuss bringing tales of conflict to the page. Writer Garth Ennis (Preacher), Alex De Campi (Dredd) and Wayne Vansant (Katusha) were joined by Gary Thompson from Dead Reckoning, and the panel was hosted by Mike Molcher from Rebellion.

The panel discussed their own experience of reading war comics before moving on to a variety of topics such as how they portray conflict, the part personal testimonies of war can play, treading the line between reality and entertainment, and much more!

The 2000 AD Thrill-Cast: Scarlet Traces Anthology

No one would have believed in the last years of the nineteenth century that this world was being watched keenly and closely by intelligences greater than man’s and yet as mortal as his own…

Created by Ian Edington and Matt “D’Israeli” Brooker, Scarlet Traces is the popular 2000 AD series exploring the world after the events of HG Wells’ seminal War of the Worlds – and now, writers have come together to explore that world in prose in SCARLET TRACES: AN ANTHOLOGY BASED ON WAR OF THE WORLDS, out now from Rebellion Publishing!

On this edition of The 2000 AD Thrill-Cast, co-creator and anthology editor Ian Edginton, writer Maura McHugh, and Rebellion commissioning editor David Moore join 2000 AD publicity droid Molch-R to discuss the world of Scarlet Traces, the legacy of HG Wells’ original novel, imperialism and speculative fiction, and moving from comics into prose.
