In reality, the role of Tharg is performed by whoever is editing 2000 AD at the time. 2000 AD lingo Psuedo-Sam laments the cancellation of his three prostitutes (true) and refers to his barber as a dago (still true) before everything descends into Sweeney Todd with robots. this epic 2000 AD retrospective exclusively designed for this collection by top 2000 AD artist Boo Cook.

It might suffer from comparisons with the likes of Mazeworld and Kingdom for that reason. That is a little unfair in some respects. If you enjoy your SciFi with loads of bizarre creatures, galaxy-spanning plots and a dash of fantasy though, you can't go wrong. So this Savage is just going to be Taking Liberties, no incorporating The Guv'nor as well. I was hoping we would get some of the stuff that was released after those two trades. Its obvious that there's more as noted on Wikipedia. There's enough Savage to potentially do another 3 books. 2nd book would most likely be identical to The Guv'nor trade then we'd be getting stuff that hasn't made it into trades yet in the last 2. No idea if that's likely to make it into the extension or not, although I guess The Guv'nor material is probably a safeish bet. There will be six volumes in total, with the third releasing in May 2023. How to catch up on a series We appreciate every fan's interest in ensuring these tests are successful - WE want them to be successful too, but we also appreciate Hachette's concerns that people rushing into the test areas and bulk buying copies will skew their numbers and could put the viability of a national launch at risk. We and Hachette don't publicise these tests for that very reason.This is the weekly Prog 2011 in the regular numbering scheme, published in December 2016, not the annual Prog 2011 published in December 2010 For a "one-and-done" of its era it is probably one of the stronger ones but it does feel a little dated by modern standards. Pretty well paced with an interesting array of characters. Fortunately it is of a time when Tooth was starting to wake up to the changing sensibilities of its readership. Although there is still an element of 'juvenilia' about it as a story in what was ostensibly a "kids comic", there is also a growing maturity to it. The spin-offs are often based on characters that appeared in another series and were deemed popular or interesting enough to sustain their own tales. These strips tend to focus on what’s going on in the protagonist’s corner of the universe instead of strictly tying into something that’s running concurrently. The series is the second collaboration between Hachette Partworks and 2000 AD publisher Rebellion Developments, following the success of Judge Dredd: The Mega Collection. It is available in the UK, Ireland and Australia. This guide is part of 45 Year Of Thrills, How to Love Comics’ celebration of 2000 AD’s 45th anniversary throughout 2022.

Quote from: OrnateColt on 12 November, 2023, 07:33:30 PMAccording to Ian Edginton there will be three volumes of Scarlet Traces in this collection. Alas it doesn't include the 3 text stories from the late '80s early '90s specials/yearbooks, the Steve Sampson drawn tale from the 1989 Winter Special, or the recent Katy Rex written tale from the 2018 Sci-Fi special. Hoagy's all muscly and evil, Cutie (a tiny robot that's basically metal breasts and orifices) magically reforms herself (after having died in 1979, on another planet) because she feels like it (that's the literal explanation) and then Sam and her snog, but his voiceover mysoginistically complains about ugly girls being easy. The writer casts himself as a second Robo-Hunter (that, far in the future, watches MTV and listens to music from 1991). The one thing that is always constant is Judge Dredd. It will always be present in each prog, traditionally opening the anthology.

Retrieved 22 June 2020. Judge Dredd Megazine is the sister comic to 2000 AD. As the name suggests, it focuses on Judge Dredd’s universe with a Dredd strip and many spin-offs. After the huge success of Judge Dredd: The Mega Collection, we're delighted to tip you off you that Hachette Partworks is to trial a new collection bringing together stories from 40 years of 2000 AD. It doesn’t have to be! This comprehensive guide will shine a light on everything you need to know about 2000 AD. There's still a lot of good Dredd to collect - you could have several Niemand volumes, for starters. What else? Thistlebone? Feral and Foe? The Out? ( Whisper it - Skip Tracer?) I'd personally love a book of 3rillers.

There's lots of shooting and yelling, forests made of decomposing body parts and another theme park. A murderous Cutie, who can fly now (and always presents as a blonde babe in a red swimsuit), is ripped apart by an cyborg in a comfy sweater, who earlier seemed to have been murdered by being impaled with a golf club (by a gay insectoid S&M fashionista). Judge Dredd has been running almost as long as 2000 AD, with character appearing in Prog 2 and almost every subsequent prog since. That’s a lot of stories!gaps left then, with at least four that can be filled (Armoured Gideon, Lawless, Kingmaker, and Durham Red) to give us only 11. If Dan Dare makes the cut (we still don't know) I suspect it'll need 2 volumes, so that's a mere 9 unknowns left!

Redondo on fine form as an artist. I'd rate it as second to his run on Mind Wars of Starlord fame but then I've always been a little biased towards that tome. All his hallmark spaceship styles on show. So, you’ve dipped your toes into the 2000 AD pool and found some awesome comics. Now you’re probably wondering how to catch up on your favourite series. I think it's a fairly safe bet we'll get continuations of series where we're a book or 2 short of having complete(ish) runs: ABC Warriors, Absalom, Strontium Dog, Dominion, Fall Of Deadworld. I listed different ways to find 2000 AD in the section above, but there was one method that I didn’t mention. That’s a subscription. You can get your 2000 AD and/or Judge Dredd Megazine fix without leaving the house, with a variety of options to suit your preference.

Similar to the hosts in horror comics, Tharg is the consistent voice for 2000 AD. He will introduce readers at the start of every prog and answer fan letters – often throwing in some of his own unique jargon. On the odd occasion, he’ll even star in his own strip. No. Unlike Marvel or DC, not every 2000 AD comic is part of a shared universe. Most series are their own thing, without any connection to anything else. You may well see or hear about test volumes appear in newsagents in certain parts of the country over the next month. These tests are being done to see if a series would work and, if the test is successful, there'll be a big national launch at a later date - just like there was with the Mega Collection. In the UK, Ireland, and some other places, 2000 AD can be found weekly in all good comic book stores.
