2000 AD The Ultimate Collection Judge Dredd Dark Justice Issue 51

Product Information

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.

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.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. 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! 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. 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.

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! In the UK, Ireland, and some other places, 2000 AD can be found weekly in all good comic book stores. The current run focussed pretty heavily on the Golden Age material, I don't think there's much left from the 200-500 era. We've had comparable little material from Progs 700-1000 but from what I hear that's mostly a good thing. Other than those exceptions I think it's been a fairly even spread across the ages and I hope the extension continues that trend. 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.AD is easy to find once you know where to look. Take a look below at the various options at your disposal. Newsagents

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. 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.

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. 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 spine incorrectly showed '79' instead of '63', although the number shown correctly inside as '63' (79 was the volume in the previous issue) - the spine picture is also incorrectly showing that of volume 79. The publisher issued a free replacement copy of this volume with issue 81 ("Flesh")

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.

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.

This is very exciting for us as the Mega Collection has been hugely positive for 2000 AD and we want that success to continue.
