Rebellion Specials 2020 (Part 2)
Yesterday, I covered the first half of 2020’s one-off special comics that were published by 2000AD owner Rebellion. There were some fantastic titles in there, so if you haven’t read […]
Rebellion Specials 2020 (Part 1)
Despite all of the hurdles and challenges faced in 2020 – not least some restrictive lockdown procedures that many of us endured for several months of the year – Rebellion […]
Comic Book Review: Action 2020 Special
It’s fair to say that Action – launched in February 1976 and ending its run as an individual title in November 1977, at which point it merged with sister title […]
Comic Book Review: 2000AD Regened (Prog #2206)
Available now from 2000AD.com, with free UK postage on week of release The fourth and final all-ages 2000AD issue of the year is here – and it once again makes […]
Comic Book Review: Tammy & Jinty Special 2020
In my quest to cover all of the Specials that Rebellion publish in 2020, it’s inevitable that I would come across a few containing material unfamiliar to me. Tammy & […]
Comic Book Review: Lawless – Book One: Welcome to Badrock
Who would have thought that a more-or-less traditional Western – albeit with minor sci-fi trappings of course – set in the Dredd-verse could be so good? Who knew that the […]
Comic Book Review: Battle Special 2020
The Battle special – or, as it seems to be called on the cover, the Battle ‘of Britain’ Special – is the latest in Rebellion’s series of specials to revive […]
Comic Book Review: Judge Dredd Megazine #424
2000AD’s sister title, the Judge Dredd Megazine, reaches an incredible milestone this month with the release of issue 424, which celebrates the publication’s 30th anniversary. It’s incredibly impressive considering how […]
Comic Book Review: Aquila: Blood of the Iceni
2000AD has a reputation for hard-hitting, violent stories that pull no punches, though these are often dressed up in fantasy or futuristic clothes. Aquila is a little different, given that it takes place in a historical setting that takes its cues from real events and even features genuine historical and religious figures. That’s not to say that the fantastical elements […]
Comic Book Review: 2000AD Regened
Regular readers of the blog – and my Twitter followers – can’t have failed to notice that I’ve been covering an awful lot of 2000AD-related material over the past few months. It started on my birthday, when I purchased a copy of the latest Judge Dredd Megazine as a treat to myself; it wasn’t long before thrill-power took over once […]
Comic Book Review: The Ballad of Halo Jones: Volume 2
Having recently reviewed the first volume of Alan Moore and Ian Gibson’s classic series, it was only a matter of time before I reacquainted myself with the continuing chronicles of Halo Jones – and, as with the first volume, it’s been an absolute joy to rediscover the series and experience it all over again, several decades later. The second volume […]
Comic Book Review: Zombo: Can I Eat You Please?
Until recently, I hadn’t been a regular reader of 2000AD for close to 20 years. I’d dive into the odd Special and Annual issues here and there to read one-off stories, but I hadn’t been keeping up with the weekly series for a long time. Mostly, it’s because you’ll often pick up an issue of 2000AD when at least a […]
Comic Book Review: Roy of the Rovers Summer Special 2020
This is a bit of a weird one for me. I have very rarely – in my 43 plus a bit years on this planet – had any interest in […]
Comic Book Review: The Ballad of Halo Jones: Volume 1
Thanks to the brilliant 2000AD Humble Bundle, I’ve been able to get hold of an awful lot of reading material, some of which I’m catching up with for the first time. The Ballad of Halo Jones (which is included in the bundle in its entirety) is a comic that I’ve read before, though not for many years – and certainly […]
Humble Bundle: Judge Dredd, 2000AD & More
Oddly coinciding with my renewed interest in 2000AD and Dredd – which was mostly prompted by my viewing of excellent documentary Future Shock: The Story of 2000AD – there’s a new bundle available at Humble for the next three weeks which contains an awful lot of fantastic material from the Galaxy’s Greatest Comic. It’s for good causes too, with the […]
Comic Book Review: Predator vs Judge Dredd (1997)
Coming in 1997 – ten years after the first Predator movie hit screens and twenty years after Dredd’s comic book debut – Predator vs. Judge Dredd hardly came at the height of either character’s popularity. It had been seven years since the Predator’s not exactly well received second cinematic outing – and just two since Stallone’s mostly-helmetless Dredd disgraced the […]
