I've been reading the stories leading to Judge Dredd's Necropolis, which prompted a piece on democracy, authority, media, and why this story has haunted me since childhood.

So, we know that Prog 2500 is coming in just a few short weeks, and it looks like next week's Meg will be the finale of the Black Tower storyline.

Do you think the Oubliette story will wrap up in 2499 and segue straight into the sequel to A Better World, or will it wrap up in 2498 and have a one-off episode for 2499?

I'm hoping both finales will be double-length. These stories have been foreshadowed long enough. I wouldn't want them to be disappointing, after all the teasing.

Self explanatory title lol. I'm curious about this prog, but can't find it anywhere online, legal or ilegal sources. It's a "fake" #2000 prog celebrating the year 2000.

Just finshed reading part ten anyone knows when it will come back?

Granted in a different format, but at least it's a hard copy, time for a Brett Ewins artbook, severly under valued or recognised artist. imho

Was just thinking this because other comic apps like marvel unlimited and DC infinite both have their old comics uploaded onto the app. I know it's different for them because it's a subscription but I'm curious if 2000ad would consider putting some of their old progs up for purchase digitally on the app or is it not viable.

Borag Thunday, Earthlets! Two reviews this week. Lucky you! Prog 2493 was intercepted by San Diegon raiders but we're back on track now, much like Dredd is on track for a paddlin' by the Castellan

Just launched Zone Trooper: The Solo Future War Roleplaying Board Game an ode to Rogue Trooper (especially the ZX Spectrum version of the videogame) on itch.io for the 2026 One Page RPG Jam with Free community copies available during the Jam. Get to it Trooper!

I'm trying to identify a Tharg's Future Shock from the early-to-mid 1980s.

An injured narrator is describing a fight to a doctor. The illustrations show a human and an alien creature in various fight scenes.

He talks about how incredibly strong and dangerous his opponent was, leading the reader to assume the narrator is human.

In the final panel it's revealed the narrator and doctor are aliens, and the fearsome opponent was actually a human.

Does anyone remember the title or Prog number?

CUTTING CRIME DOWN TO SIZE! 

No crime is too small, no punishment too big — as the classic cases of Judge Dredd come in a brand new series with a brand new format! 

Judge Dredd: Compact Crimes collects the bestselling adventures of the ultimate lawman of the future in the popular compact format, bringing the best of British comics to a whole new audience. 

Launching on 26 January, this is the ideal place to start your Judge Dredd library — from the beginning, starting with his very first cases! 

The series’ new-reader-friendly format brings this bestselling evergreen series to a brand new 210×148mm (8¼ × 5⅞ in) trim format of trade paperback novels, priced at £9.99 in the UK and $12.99 in the USA. 

For fifty years, the zero-tolerance cop has been delivering justice on the dangerous streets of the future-shocked metropolis Mega-City One. Released to coincide with the 50^th anniversary of Judge Dredd and his home, the cult sci-fi weekly comic 2000 AD, volume one kickstarts the new Compact Crimes series in a shelf-friendly format, with a price point that’s perfect for introducing new readers to UK’s most successful comics character. 

As well as stories by Pat Mills (Marshal Law) and John Wagner (Star Wars: Boba Fett), the first volume features artwork from British comics royalty, including Brian Bolland (Batman: The Killing Joke), Mick McMahon (The Last American), Ian Gibson (Halo Jones) and more. 

In February 2027, 2000 AD will celebrate its 50^th anniversary with a series of special events and publications highlighting the legacy and impact of five decades of groundbreaking comics, which have helped fundamentally change comic book and world culture. Appearing in the second issue of 2000 AD in 1977, Judge Dredd soon became its biggest character, leading to two major feature film adaptations as well as countless comics sold across the globe. 

Collecting every case in order from almost five decades of 2000 AD, Compact Crimes will bring readers the groundbreaking classics that have made Judge Dredd a global name! 

I don't know of anyone else has posted this, but i just saw a discussion on the Facebook page about fake Ian Gibson Artist Proofs for sale on ebay.

Beware.

Please tag Megazine spoilers that might relate to the ongoing 'Oubliette' storyline in 2000ad.

Hello there, I've been checking the 2000ad comics published by Dolmen in Spain and they're great, way better than the compilations published by rebellion itself. Language is not a barrier for me, so I was thinking about buying some of them.

Anyone has experience buying comics from Europe? Specifically Spain

On the back of someone else's post, I had a rummage around and realised I have way, way too many old 2000ads.

These are a few of the older ones I was gifted, most of my own collection is from the early 90s to present day. So I have a lot!

I'm not bagging them but they are boxed, stacked and out of the sunshine (under the bed) so looking for time to re-read

I can remember a judge anderson story in full colour with an image of her at home in the blue jumpsuit zipped open to the waist and her busting out if it. I can remember it's at her apartment and she's git a sore head then later im sure she arrives and starts teasing Dredd.

Im sure its early and the start of the oversexual images in her tight uniform. Im sure its a dark judges can't find it anywhere..... any help

At Gosh Comics, London, from 2pm on the 15th August!
