I've posted a few things in the 2018 thread that are really for next year, so I better get a new thread going.

Jinty: Fran from the Floods (https://www.amazon.co.uk/Jinty-Fran-Floods-Gascoine-Phil/dp/1781086729) Paperback – 21 Mar 2019
Science fiction comics of ecological disaster and survival from the pages of legendary comic Jinty
Due to increased climate change, the sun starts to melt the ice caps and evaporates the world's oceans, causing an onslaught of never ending rain. At first young Hazelford resident, Fran Scott, finds the whole thing amusing, but as the town begins to disappear underwater, the desperation of her predicament becomes all too clear.
After losing her parents in the chaos, Fran decides to seek out her sister June, who recently moved to Scotland. But as the situation gets worse and society begins to crumble around her, Fran must overcome a vast array of dangers, including disease, wild animals, marauding gangs of vicious thugs and most bizarre of all, the self-proclaimed king of Glasgow!

That second one is remarkably prescient...
Why has there not been a third volume of Defoe? Hard to believe it didn't sell well enough.
There probably should have been a new collection of Savage by now as well.
You'd have to imagine that the twin avalanches of the Mega- and Ultimate Collections, not to mention the Treasury series, have slowed down the schedule of compiling more conventional collections.
Not to mention the concern that buyers have finite resources, especially when you had the overlap of the Mega-Collection and Ultimate Collection.

Bigger Than Biggs (Judge Anderson: Rookie Book 4) (https://www.amazon.co.uk/Bigger-Than-Biggs-Judge-Anderson-ebook/dp/B07H32HSZ9) - Abaddon Books, 3rd December 2018.
Mega-City One, 2100 AD. Psi-Judge Cassandra Anderson's second year on the streets as a full-Eagle Judge.
There's trouble brewing in the Eee-Zee Rest; biker gangs, kidnappings and riots are all pretty standard in Mega-City One, but the block is off-limits – the owner's just too clean to investigate.
Seconded to another division, Anderson gets suspicious: something's terrifying the residents, and it's not your average perp or bouncer. When biker Vex returns a kidnap victim and asks Anderson for help, the Psi-Judge knows this is the opportunity she's been looking for.
But the thing that lurks in the basement is something new. Something greedy. Something hungry.

'The Complete Caballistics Inc.' is listed on Amazon as released on 21st February 2019. Torn between buying this or the two 2000ad Ultimate Collection hardcovers?? Can't make up my mind which is the better buy.
It largely depends on which format you like best. But Ultimate will also have some bonus material that probably won't be in the other one, like interviews and character designs and that kind of thing.

Not only Complete, but they'll include the first Absalom story, too, which may help to somewhat smooth out the abrupt ending of Cabs (by seguing neatly into Absalom).

FAKE NEWS
In a city ruled by the multinational corporations, identity is crucial -- no one can get anywhere without being monitored, logged, and status-checked. Fortunately for some, if a new I.D. is needed, there are 'simmers' -- backstreet I.D. thieves that can create new personas by stealing the identities of others. Libra Kelly is a simmer with an axe to grind, doing jobs that cause trouble for the corporations free of charge, but soon finds herself stuck with a terminally diseased I.D. and a price on her head...

Oh no missed that. Well at least if that's right it will be a nice contained story with a beginning middle and end but damn it feels like it has so much to offer and explore and I could happily read a long with them as long as they wanted.
Also does the fact that Counterfeit Girl has a trade mean we're not getting any more of that as well. Shame as I felt that strip had other places to go and would loved to of had it back.
Dudes! Do none of you read the informative articles and interviews Molcher spends his thankless days compiling?!
Quote from: Dan AbnettYes, it's pretty much a trilogy. Book 3 "High Society" debuts soon. But the world is so rich, we've found we have strong ideas for at least three more volumes after that. We'll see how the audience reacts. It all builds into one, big ghastly picture, whichever characters are ultimately around to witness that. We'd love to continue exploring the Brink.
I burn everything that History's Greatest Monster™ writes before I can read it, it's the only way to remain a True Fan.
Phew, that's a relief though. If Tharg, Dan or Ian are listening, I Want Moah.

You should probably nuke it from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.
I feel like l'm missing something here.
In any case, I'm glad to hear that there is more Brink planned.

Judge Dredd: Toxic! (https://www.amazon.co.uk/Judge-Dredd-Toxic-Paul-Jenkins/dp/1684054753) - paperback, 4th June 2019, 96 pages, IDW
Dredd's investigation into the death of a seemingly unremarkable sewage worker spirals into a waste management crisis that could destroy all of Mega-City One!
Mega-City One has long used genetic modification on its waste workers to control the deluge of filth that flows under the city each day. When Dredd discovers that some of them have foregone that disfiguring procedure in favor of hosting protective alien symbiotes, it sparks a groundswell of anti-immigration fervor. Soon the toxic atmosphere spills into the streets, undermining the very infrastructure that makes the city tolerable. Can Dredd find a solution to save the now indispensable aliens from the angry mobs?
Never have the satire and social commentary of Judge Dredd cut so sharply, nor repudiated hate so emphatically, as in Toxic! And never has that statement--or the humor and entertainment with which it is delivered--been more necessary.
Collects the complete four-issue series.

Ha, brilliant! I'd always hoped we'd get a chance to reprint Invasion 1984, so I'm delighted to see Rebellion jumping on that one - it's a great tale with some lovely Eric Bradbury art, and it's going straight on my list :-)
Fantastic to see Death Wish turning up too, as that's a cracking strip even in its later Eagle run where it all gets a bit bonkers.

Only read the run in Eagle but will get it for sure. Always liked the character. Was the original Death Wish strip drawn by Vanyo brothers (whatever happened to them, they were great) as well ?

is there a specific reason sinister dexter is not being collected completely ?
Why aren't we getting more judge dredd case field per year and why doesn't it atlas collect years worth ( around 450 pages)? are they not selling that well or is really time consuming to produce and two a year is what they are able to pump out?

Stewart Moore's slaving over the next series of
Defoe (https://www.millsverse.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/defoe1-Stewart.jpg) as we speak. Chris Weston draws a comedy
Slaine short* in this year's end of year prog - I think Simon Davis said the most recent book of
Brutania was his last work on the strip.
Conventional wisdom seems to be that
Sinister Dexter (like
Dante) doesn't sell well, but that's only me repeating what others have said here.
Tharg puts out books at a rate he reckons the market will support. He could carpet-bomb Amazon with six Case Files every year
*, but then his small-though-discerning readership might struggle to afford the non-Dredd books and comics he publishes that year.
That lesser-known material might not sell as well, and then it would be stuck with a reputation as unpopular/unprofitable. Like
Sinister Dexter.
* I think it's actually an Ukko story?
** Maybe he can't - it takes time and money to prepare old material for print. Plus, there's reader fatigue - if you'd spent £100 buying six books of Ennis, Millar, Morrison and Steelgrave Dredd stories in a single year, I can imagine you'd be overwhelmed by their general mediocrity and not very enthusiastic about forking out another £100 next year just to see if 1995-1998's crop of stories was any better

Sadly it seems the second volume of Leopard of Lime Street may be paperback only. If so it's another instance of the follow up volume not being hardback like the original.

The Leopard from Lime Street volume 2 (https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/1781086788) - 176 pages, paperback slated for 13th June 2019.

Perhaps Rebellion will do a limited HC, as with 13th Floor.

Please be aware that this list is the mainstream release schedule and doesn't include any special editions we may offer through our webshop.
The big news for me is that Absalom Volume 3 is touted as it's last, meaning that the next story will be it's final story. :o :(

Great! Thanks Molch-R. I realise that's not a definite promise, but it means there's still hope for some matching hardbacks.
Death Wish has an amazing cover and the blurb sounds super awesome. But is it actually any good?
And by good, I mean is it full of the violent pain and death I've come to know and love from 2000AD / early Action, or is it watered down?
Well, it managed to get a resurgence in the 80's Eagle. Compared to Action / Tooth, aye it is quite tame. Worth reading though? I would say so. Not exactly full of the violent pain and death Tooth fans are used to but enjoyable nonetheless.
If you want a taster, the first two episodes (https://2000ad.com/post/3911) were made available as part of the promo for The Vigilant.

To be honest I think its a good thing. Its always had the sense of something that that a single finite story to tell and it will be nice to have it wrap up as a solid chunk of goodness. So many writers have so many plates spinning its nice to see some get wrapped up.
Much as I love Ian Edginton's work right now he could well benefit from doing this as well. Which from his recent thrillcast he might be aware needs to happen.

I loved the gruesomeness and despair of Death Wish when it ran in Tiger (which my brother got), but lost interest when Blake had his face perfectly reconstructed by a plastic surgeon... only to immediately have another accident disfigure him in the exact same way (anticipating Moe Syzlak's career as a soap star by some 20 years).

Yeah, that's a very good point. :)
I'd still love a third series in the same universe at some point though, focussing on different characters.

Having re-read Helium vol1 recently in a Meg floppy: yep.
Rather than start a separate thread...
I was wondering if we're ever likely to see large format collections of Nemesis the Warlock. We've had the Mek-Files and Ro-Busters collections and various other large hardbacks, and I would have thought Nemesis an obvious next step. Yeah, I know I've already got the Titan reprints and the Rebellion phonebooks and the Best of 2000AD monthlies and... but I'd like some large format hardbacks.
Same goes for large format hardback editions of the Dredd epics. Cursed Earth was great, but let's have a few more. I know there's all the Hachette stuff, but I'd prefer something that approximates the original page size.
Regards,
Robin

How did I miss that the floppie in the Meg is starting offer translations of comics from the continent
Quote...and in the bagged mini-trade, the third in a series of translated collections reprinting the French D-Day graphic novel Operation Overlord by Michael Le Galli and Davide Fabbri!
Lovin' the way they are experimenting with the contents of the bagged comic these days!
Yes the return of Kingmaker
'Defoe heads for the stars in 'The Divisor' by Pat Mills and Stewart Moore'
Why did Arnold Schwarzenegger never make a movie called The Numerator?
Presumably, the joint Weston/Goddard credit on Unearthed means that's another longer story, along the lines of The Small House, and we can look forward to the pleasure of Rob Williams's company in a way we haven't for a few years.

Hopefully you are right. I like my one-off Dredds but nothing beats an extended Dredd :D
Also glad to see that The Torture Garden will be longer than six episodes.
Hmmmm... that's all quite spoilery...especially [spoiler]the Zhind making an appearance in Lawless [/spoiler] 😱
On the latest ECBT2000ad podcast Pat Mills is interviewed and while he's coy about who the new Slaine artist is, he does say that it's a South American artist that is well established in comics and was eager to do Slaine.
Leonardo Manco I'd say. Which would be terrific.
Maybe even in black and white...
The prog could use some B&W, it really enhances the comic IMO. Don't have much else to say on Slaine, stopped reading the words quite a while ago :-X
It seems that the latest series of Brink is the last:
(From Amazon)
"Humanity is on the brink in the thrilling conclusion to the smash-hit epic space-noir from duo Dan Abnett and INJ Culbard. "

Kingdom, too. Abnett's in demand elsewhere, I suppose:
'Dan Abnett: Yes, (Brink's) pretty much a trilogy. Book 3, "High Society" debuts soon. But the world is so rich, we've found we have strong ideas for at least three more volumes after that. We'll see how the audience reacts. It all builds into one, big ghastly picture, whichever characters are ultimately around to witness that. We'd love to continue exploring the Brink.'https://2000ad.com/post/3845
Ah I'm disappointed to hear Kingdom is ending, but I read somewhere a while ago that when Abnett started the series he had a definitive ending in mind. Hopefully that's what we got.
I'd rather a good series come to a proper end instead of sitting incomplete in limbo.
Coming next year in Dredd:

Got a link for that please?
Well yes - down in the corner of the post you just quoted! :lol:
No mention of Kingdom ending in the link (though I must admit that I'm using my phone and just skimming through the interview for any mention of Kingdom).

Slaine will return in 2019 accordingly the xmas prog. See the cool add for it

Finn accordingly to my understanding was stopped because the story-line came close to Slaine's theme at that stage. I can be wrong but that is how I understood it. I would like Finn to return as well
thanks
yes would love finn to return, slaine is not time traveling anymore so won't end up in finn time :)
I preferred Finn anyway.
Looking forward to more Leonardo Manco art though.
Oh goodie. Dermost Power is back ;)

Yeah, that Judge Death story looks very tasty - nice slap in the face to the FCBD people too - I no longer need to bother getting up early on a Saturday to queue up for loads of glossy adverts and excerpts - 2000ad was one of the very few creators who really made an effort to produce something new and worthwhile.
2019 looks to be an amazing year
new slaine
new defoe
wagner dredd
only thing missing is case files announcements if of Sinister Dexter, though i have never read any i feel it will be good at world building like dredd
I'm hoping that next year we'll finally get some proper Sinister Dexter collections to celebrate the 25th anniversary.
If they do, they'd better include Downlode Tales this time.

"The Small House" - this was actually quite recently from prog 2100 up until 2109. You will also get the benefit of the start of Brink.

Well it always helps starting at the top but worth remembering it takes a while to really get going (well if you ask me). First stories I don't really like. Next to longer form stories, with Simon Davis art - Gunshark Vacation and Murder 101 are pretty good but not quite there. There is then a series of shorts after that however which are just superb.

Thanks for that Colin I know that establishing a story and gets it going can take time. Most of the classic stories started with a lot of one part stories as well. If Rebellion publish this collection I will grab it (or in my case download it) even if it is just to watch Davis wonderful painted work.

Both Ladykiller and Small House is actually the end of long running story lines. Both these stories are excellent.
Ladykiller started in Prog 1991 ending in Prog 1998. It is about a serial killer PJ Maybe the original story was published in Prog 534.

Small House you might have to invest in the trades Titan (https://shop.2000ad.com/catalogue/graphic-novels/more-dredd/XB573) and Trifecta (https://shop.2000ad.com/catalogue/graphic-novels/more-dredd/XB476).

Is there any news about if the Judge Pin from SJS storyline will pick up again this year?
The following is a quote out of prog 2100 where Rob Williams mentioned Judge Pin:
'This talk of Trifecta and Dredd's secret little team prompts
us to wonder about the prospect of seeing a few familiar
characters in The Small House – perhaps Judges Pin and
Gerhart from the other ongoing slowburner series he's been
developing with Chris Weston? 'No Judge Pin in this one,'
he replies. 'That's very much my and Chris Weston's story,
which is largely separate from this. Chris and I have plans
for Pin, we know the end of that story, we just need to get
Dredd there.'
So I am sure that we will see her coming sometime 2019
Cool thanks
Looking forward to her getting her end and more Gerhart is need, even maybe his own series in the cursed earth
That's not a bad idea.
Judge Anderson: Year Two (https://www.amazon.co.uk/Judge-Anderson-Year-Danie-Ware/dp/1781086184) Paperback, 384 pages – 17th September 2019
The story behind Mega-City One's most famous telepath and Judge Dredd partner, Judge Anderson, in her second year as a Judge! Follow-up to the cult sensation Judge Anderson Year One!
In years to come, Cassandra Anderson will be a living legend, Psi-Division's most famous Judge. But for now it's 2101, and a young Judge Anderson is in her second year out of the Academy, the Eagle still gleaming on her shoulder. It's time to put her training--and her judgement--to the test.
Three original stories from female authors have Anderson taking on biker gangs and reclusive celebrities, cults and reluctant partners, and a psychic team of murderers...

Grey Area: A Long Way Home (https://www.amazon.co.uk/Grey-Area-Long-Way-Home/dp/1781086869) Paperback, 208 pages – 3rd September 2019
The stunning second volume of the dystopian satire of alien immigration cops!
North America, 2045. The Global Exo Segregation Zone (aka the 'Grey Area') is a huge holding area in Arizona housing aliens hoping to visit earth: a melting pot for disputes, crime and inter-species misunderstandings! The only thing standing in the way of chaos is the Exo Transfer Control squads: heavily-armed immigration cops that keep the peace and make sure everyone has their papers in order...
E.T.C. Captain Adam Bulliet has a lot on his plate; The Arakshu want revenge on humanity for their dead ambassador, increasing numbers of aliens are having rapturous visions, and his fraternisation with Officer Birdy isn't nearly as discrete as he thought. Not to mention a dizzyingly colossal god star is descending on Earth, and Bulliet's team are the ones suiting up to meet 'n' greet the second coming. But they might end up going further than they expect...

The original solicitation was HC, which is probably why Amazon still has that listed.

I can't find it listed as TPB elsewhere either.
If it is. Hope there's a limited HC sold on 2000ADs webshop then.
I also really hope that it is a mistake that Deadworld vol.2 is listed as a tpb and not a hardcover as I want it match my first volume. Will it take us up-to-date with the current story?

What is going on with Rebellion on this score? I've only ever bought the first Movie Dredd GN because they switched format. I know folks have commented before about there being some sort of rationale but it is hard to see it considering what they do put out in hardback.

Apestrife is right, folks, so no need to panic! Perhaps Amazon updated their description, or - more likely - I copied it down wrong. Sorry!
Also, please keep in mind what Molch-R said earlier (here (https://forums.2000ad.com/index.php?topic=45360.msg996507#msg996507)) - the stuff on Amazon etc doesn't reflect the special versions that may be made available through the webshop.

Saw on Rob Williams Twitter feed "The upcoming Dredd vs Judge Pin story 'Control' by @westonfront and me is a five parter." He also said it will run soon-ish.
yes
hopefully Pin goes out painfully
hoping Gerhard shows up
Now that Rebellion is publishing older British comics, do they own the right to Don Lawrence works like Trigan empire and storm?
Rebellion acquired Trigan Empire last year: https://downthetubes.net/?p=101020 (https://downthetubes.net/?p=101020)
what about storm?
It does not look like Rebellion owns Storm. You can buy it online but it is pricey: https://www.donlawrenceshop.com/en_GB/c-3939116/storm-the-collection/ (https://www.donlawrenceshop.com/en_GB/c-3939116/storm-the-collection/)
I hope Rebellion picks it up
I hear Storm is very good but that too expensive
How long is machine law scheduled to go?
I think it is at least another two episodes since the March solicits indicates a new Dredd story by 'Unearthed' by Rob Williams, Chris Weston and Patrick Goddard
thanks
So stoked to see that the next Brink is already being worked on according to 'Thrills of the future' in the latest Thrillmail - all that talk (by Dan Abnett as I recall - possibly badly) of the third story being a conclusion has gone - which the end of the last book strongly suggested - WAYHEY!

Lots of good stuff! Tammy and Jinty Special! Thistlebone finally hits the prog! Sci-Fi special pays tribute to Carlos Ezquerra! Lawless and Torture Garden finales in the Meg! All this and some interesting collections. June looks like a pretty good month!
Also to debut in June is Thistlebone and Absalom is also due to return. June looks like a good month as gameluvah said
For those who enjoyed Laura Bailey's take on DeMarco in the Summer Special last year, Tharg's given permission to share a sneak peek of the series we've created for the Judge Dredd Megazine which should be starting in July.

DaNi drew the DeMarco strip in the special (Laura and I did a Future Shock last year) but cheers, both! It's a treat getting to work in black and white.
You always worked in black and white for me... how soon they forget...
You raise a droid, forge its chips with neglect and rejection; watch it grow, develop and finally leave you...
##sniff##
In all honesty- looking forward to seeing this.
I've just bumped into Mr Dan Abnett, while walking back to the car in Eastbourne, and after a) being shocked he recognised me, b) introducing him to my wife and c) fanboy gushing at him for a bit, I had it confirmed to my actual face that Grey Area isn't over, The Out isn't connected to it, and SiniDex continues. The third was for my own peace of mind because I live in fear of it ending, and the first two were because my slightly panicked mind knew you lot were concerned. I completely forgot to mention Kingdom or Lawless to him, but fear I may have ended up just crying, so I'm kind of glad.
SBT
Thanks for the info SBT. Glad to hear that Grey Area is not done. A pity about Kingdom but at least we will get another story from him
Some good news there...Abnett is the Adamantium laced to the Prog's skeleton.
Thanks for the update SBT.
That's all good news Smallbluething (reborn or otherwise).
I do fear if I met Dan Abnett I'd just hug him and weep with joy, thanking him endlessly through sobs and snot... until the police arrived.
I sometimes think its a good thing I've never met him.
Nice to see a new Hope... story trailed in the Thrillmail. I thoroughly enjoyed the first one and I was starting to think it had been knocked on the head.

The Floppie for Meg 411 is Defoe 'The Damned' now hasn't Defoe been collected? Have I missed something? I looked at the shop and Amazon and discovered the later Defoe doesn't seem to be collected and judging my this is considered fodder for the floppie. Given how much there is of it this really surprised me... well okay not interesting but it caught my eye.
Anyway what is interesting is The Returners is ... well returning - WAYHEY - loved that first time round.
Decent line-up in 2000ad too in July Indigo Prime will no doubt continue to divide opinion and we get more Sinister Dexter which always cheers my day and Steve Yeowell is still on art to boot.

Absolutely. The Meg still seems to be holding its own when it comes to quality both of writing and artwork. At the risk of exploding the Interweb it's great to see a broader gender balance on the writing front. Two female writers in this edition. Given the sometimes negative response to last year's Sci-Fi 'all female' special, this seems more like valid recognition than a gimmick.
The artist roster is also encouraging. Lynch's artwork has really progressed over the last few years and I'm assuming that this is going to be a continuation of the intermittent storyline he and Wyatt have been working on over the last couple of years. Be really interesting to see what Pleece makes of Brit-cit. Been a long time since we've seen his work in tooth or the meg. A very welcome return. Goddard is always a pleasure and another outing from Paul Williams .... Looks promising.

I can see how
Dash might have been confused about which bodily fluid was spurting over the helmet.
The arts good but I've never liked the SJS uniform. The helmet looks like it rides too high and the upsized badge is just too big.
I can't tell from the frame that she's a woman. She still looks pin-thin to me, though having studied it further the arm and gloved hand reaching into frame on the third panel now makes me think of Mickey Mouse.

In the latest thrill-mail Absalom starts in prog 2136 - "Harry's final do or die mission"
I've a sneaking suspicion he'll do and die, for a properly bittersweet finale.
I'd be very surprised if Harry doesn't die - he's been terminally ill for some prolonged time and is surely approaching his end. Looking forward to this - it's been easily one of the best series to run in the prog in recent years.

Hoping for a twist on
Death Of A Legend, where Dredd kidnaps Hershey from the hospice but this time they embark on a wacky road trip, crossing
all the items off her bucket list as they go.
Pat Mills's loss is Tom Eglinton's gain; only MacNeil sits on a higher shelf than Flint and Simon Davis in Tharg's cabinet of treasures. The pairing of a relatively new writer with a Rolls Royce artist reminds me of Tharg handing Mike Carroll the keys to Colin MacNeil for
Grindstone Cowboys and warning him not to damage the paintwork.

Why? He hasn't specified either a timescale or a number of stories he still intends to do. As has been obvious for a good number of years, John's happy to leave the week-in-week-out grind to newer models of script droid and contribute the increasingly occasional story when the mood takes him.
And, one day, he's going to retire. Or are you saying that Wagner should literally work until he dies so that you can read Dredd strips penned by him? That seems a mite... I dunno...
selfish?
I didn't say anything of the sort. I only said I'd be sad when he finally packs it in.
You're often quite aggressive to other people on this board. I respectfully suggest you tone it down a tad.

With respect, that's
not what you said. I asked why you thought the news was troubling because those were the words you used. You can tell those were the words you used because
you typed them and I
quoted them in the post you replied to. If that's not what you
meant then that's something completely different but I'm not psychic.
QuoteYou're often quite aggressive to other people on this board. I respectfully suggest you tone it down a tad.
For a long time, I'll admit I wasn't in a very good place and ran on a very short fuse. I've mea culpa-ed for that more than once and have been making an effort to do better. I'm sorry if you thought my tone was aggressive, but I don't see it. I asked you a question, based on the words you used to express a position. If those words didn't express that position, all you had to do was explain what you
did mean and clarify a misunderstanding.
However, I'd like you retract your claim that I'm "often quite aggressive to other people on this board." Whilst I have freely admitted that I was much more bad-tempered than was good for either me or the forum in the past, I'd invite you to take a trawl through, I dunno, the last three years of my posts (you can find them here (https://forums.2000ad.com/index.php?action=profile;u=524;area=showposts;start=0)) and come back with enough examples to show that I'm "often aggressive."
If you can't, or if you just can't be arsed (which is fair enough), then I'd like you to withdraw that accusation because, frankly, it's quite hurtful.

A little, perhaps. I must be the first person on this forum to ever take someone's words to their logical if improbable conclusion in order to make a rhetorical point. I'm
amazed it's never happened before.
I would also dispute "aggressive" here, but even if it is (and it certainly wasn't intended as such) one data point doesn't make a pattern, which is what I'm objecting to Richard claiming.

I love all of the above, although I'm not sure I'd recommend them as ripsnorting narratives. McCarthy's solo work is best enjoyed as decompressed variations on his Artoons (http://tearoomofdespair.blogspot.com/2017/04/brendan-mccarthys-artoons.html); a series of wonderful images, ideas and evocative phrases.
Tharg's wise to pair McCarthy with structure-monkeys. Kek-W seems like a natural fit for McCarthy's psychotropic aesthetic, but I can see why their differing outlooks on life might make a working relationship too
interesting to prove productive.

"The last police academy in the country has just passed out its last officer. That's you."
All Errol Quon ever wanted was to be a cop. Friends, family—even the instructors at the academy—urged her to quit, but she stuck to it, becoming the last cop ever to graduate.
Quon's assigned to Golgotha, Alabama, and partnered up with Judge Unity Kurzweil, hunting a lead on an old case. And there's still a few things the last cop can teach one of the first Judges...?

Good news in the lastest Thrill mail. The Prog 2150 (how the hell has there already been 150 Progs since Prog 2000, anyway...) has some great stuff. John Wagner and Colin MacNeil Dredd, Deadworld is back, but possibly best of all more Brink, wasn't expecting that back so soon so absolutely delighted.
Also includes new art on Defoe and more Hope.
Yes it is a delight to have Brink back so soon.

Although if his star rises, perhaps that'll boost Brass Sun sales and mean we'll get a hardback follow-up to the lovely first volume that came out – *gulp* – FIVE years ago now. Mind you, we'd need another 10 episodes or so to fill it, unless it was a skinnier edition (like the upcoming Deadworld one is going to be – 96 pages compared to the first book's 144. And, yes, I'm still going to buy it, obviously).

Oh that Brass Sun hardback was one of the first non-Dredd 2000 AD purchases I ever made! I spotted it in a second-hand bookshop - absolutely beautiful!

I love Defoe so hard. It's supplanted everything but Nemesis for me in terms of 'favourite Mills thrill'. Cracking worldbuilding, great characters, and even the dreaded politicking largely works, given the hero is a post-Civil War Leveller working for the Crown.
So, so glad that it's still a going concern after the changing-artist debacle looked like it might sink it completely.
Defoe looks great cannot wait.

Is that the cover or an ad? Looks like an ad to me - but a bloody good one.
Looks like an ad that's going to become a cover with, presumably, some changes to the typesetting.
Really looking forward to this special - this year's themed specials have been fantastic, and a Thirteenth Floor-themed one-off is right up my street. Lovely cover work from Kyie Hotz too...
(Teasing, but that's an iffy choice of typeface with the missing leg on the "L" - fiddly to read, as the instinct is to scan it as "VINCE IOCKE", "KEIIEY JONES", "HENRIK SAHISTROM" etc. Always a risk with OTT horror-themed type where the exaggerated/distressed/etc. forms can be pushed to extremes), but this is particularly awkward.)
Yep. Needs a custom L. Or, you know, a different typeface.
Considering that it is also loaded with the old crossbar 'I' as well.
I did think Abigati Harding was an odd name at first...

"The one in which Gillian Anderson c. 2002 plays Judge Anderson, dressed in a futuristic leather catsuit that doesn't conform to known physics, and so directly maps out the shape of her boobs."
If nothing else, I do wish comic book artists would get a better grounding not only in basic anatomy (you can break what the human body is capable of, but only once you know how to accurately portray it), but also how materials work.
Anyway, more Brink is very welcome, and I'm looking forward to the Wagner Dredd.
The line-up sure looks good. The cover feels little lackluster for me.
Joseph Linsner is renowned as the comic book Da Vinci of the buxom wench, so I'm sure Tharg wasn't too surprised when he got the print file.
That cover isn't the best example of his work I'll admit, but it's pretty eye catching. Good choice for a jump-on issue.
Looking forward to the return of Brink too. The Culbard Droid must be sucking down the Energon Cubes - he's a new series out with Dark Horse at the moment too ('Everything').
All of the new Thrills look great in fact, and new Dredd by the premier league is always welcome, but I find that's it's Hope: Under Fire I'm most looking forward too. Really enjoyed that first series.

Neil Roberts did pert better for Zarjaz.
Jovis. I've just Googled 'Joseph Linsner' - I wouldn't recommend doing so at work.
I can see the guy has... talent, of a very specific kind, but based on his abilities he seems a poor choice and has produced a poor cover, especially for a jumping-on prog.
However - he does have some form of 'name' draw for the US readers, similarly to Mike Allred & George Perez, both of whom have delivered covers for TMO in recent years.
Perhaps it'll work in that regard, then. Having scrolled through a few pages of his art in Google Images, it just made me a bit sad. May as well just write TITS in massive letters on his covers.

Don't know anything about the dudes personal life, but he's an internationally recognized comic book talent - what other reason do you need?
think you are right - my main beef with that cover is that googling his other work it seems a bit more accomplished and if not less cheese cakey, a bit more stylish?

Beat me to it (http://www.2000ad.org/?zone=covers&page=artist&choice=RICHL&Comic=usreprints). Cheesecake doesn't bother me, but that's a wonky image.
Dredd's a difficult character to draw, even for people who have been trying since they were kids. Geniuses like MacNeil (https://i.imgur.com/ronj9qT.png), Weston (https://i.imgur.com/BcpCdq8.jpg) and Walker (https://i.imgur.com/xqYsKQl.jpg) turned in wobbly Dredds at the first attempt, so asking a rookie* to do a cover is a bit mean.
All the attention is on
Anderson: Size 44DDivision, but Dredd's got a thigh where his right bicep should be and I'm not sure what his left hand's doing or why it's growing out of his abdomen. The whole aesthetic isn't really my thing, but the top team on
Dredd, SK Moore's debut on
Defoe, Culbard and Broxton balance that out.
* As far as MC1 is concerned
Damn, shouldn't gotten Lisner to paint the cover of Prog 1066!

With that lineup, it could be "2000AD" written in Times New Roman on a blank white page and I'd still be all over it. That said, I like Dredd's depiction, if little else.
The Eagle has landed on subscribers' doormats this morning, but for the rest of us, this is still in the future. Even though it's set in the past.
Scarlet Traces vibes from new Defoe artist SK Moore:

I am looking forward too Defoe and the new artist take on the story.
I'm not really into Defoe, although it is one I want to re-read from the start, to see if it gels. That opening page looks excellent though. (No Prog here, alas. Seems it's a Monday thing now.)

However - he does have some form of 'name' draw for the US readers, similarly to Mike Allred & George Perez, both of whom have delivered covers for TMO in recent years.
And the great recent-ish covers by David Aja and Chris Burnham too. A shrewd tactic deployed by TMO.
Presumably it's working, otherwise TMO wouldn't keep doing it. As much as I like some artists, I can't imagine buying a copy of $insert-DC/Marvel-title-here just because the cover is by $2000AD-artist.

I imagine it gets them a bit of coverage on comics websites etc, which lets people know the prog exists. Dredd might be moderately well known outside of the UK but 2000AD doesn't have the same level of awareness.
Never sure where to put this. The cover date will be ths year but I always count it as the start of next year's stories. Anyway, Tharg has exclusively revealed the contents of his bulging Christmas sack.
Prog 2162
- The Zaucer of Zilk: A Zaucerful of Secrets by Peter Hogan and Brendan McCarthy. The follow-up to 2012's phantasmagoric first series by Al Ewing and McCarthy, as an old enemy of the wand-wielding Zaucer comes looking for revenge
- Proteus Vex: Another Dawn by Michael Carroll and Henry Flint. A brand-new SF spy series set in an alien galaxy;
- Feral & Foe. Kingdom creators Dan Abnett and Richard Elson reunite on a new fantasy saga, as a pair of creatures that would normally be hunted down by the humans are tasked with targeting their own kind;
- Graduation Day by Gordon Rennie and Tiernen Trevallion; a young man takes a step into a wider world.
- Plus Dredd, Brink and probably a surprise
Intrigued by the Rennie/Trevallion story. Maybe an epilogue or spin-off from Absalom?
Meanwhile,
Lawless,
Devlin Waugh and
Blunt are all back in the Christmas Meg.
If prog 2162 is the xmas prog then it implies we will have 51 progs this year and not the normal 50. Great stuff
Here is the solicitation for December: https://www.firstcomicsnews.com/rebellion-comics-december-2019-solicitations/ (https://www.firstcomicsnews.com/rebellion-comics-december-2019-solicitations/)

Any release date set for this yet? It's October 1st tomorrow, yet it isn't listed on Comic Hub.
Some great artists in that line-up by the way.
It's dated 16th October - 27th November on the cover if that helps.
Accordingly 2000 AD web site you can only pre-order the items as part of a bundle : https://shop.2000ad.com/catalogue/specials/B0011 (https://shop.2000ad.com/catalogue/specials/B0011)
The release date is the 16th of October

Peter Hogan returning to the Prog! Good news! Resident Alien is great.
Hogan doing Zaucer is interesting. A pity Ewing's not doing another series (and isn't back in the Prog), but Hogan writing again for 2000 AD is fantastic news. And, yes, Resident Alien is superb. Here's hoping Hogan might pitch a new series as well. I get that people weren't thrilled by his slower-paced strips, but RA has fantastic storytelling, and Brink has showcased how the Prog can house variety. (I keep hoping – in vain, obviously – that a future product will be a Brink omnibus-style HC. I'd buy that in a shot.)
Pity his run on Durham Red was cut short, he seemed to be taking it in an interesting direction.
Delighted to have Hogan back in the Prog - I really enjoyed his Vertigo / Sandman stuff and the majority of his previous work for Tharg (including Strontium Dogs / Durham Red).
A collaboration with McCarthy on Zaucer should be a fine weekly read.
Random thought - if TMO is intent on bringing classic "It shoulda ended with..." character Durham Red back into the fold then there are worse ideas than giving Hogan another crack at it.

Yeah I liked a lot of Peter Hogan's work in 2000ad and love his Robo-Hunter. But if anyone wants to know how exciting it is to have him back in the Prog should just check out Resident Alien. Its fantastic - and has Steve Parkhouse art to boot.
I also looking forward to Hogan's return. I concur Resident Alien is awesome
Haven't read much of his non-prog stuff. For my money, though, one of his best prog efforts was the Steel Claw one-off in the 1992 Action Special (back in the days everyone and his dog started reviving pre-Dredd British comic heroes).
A nice preview for the Scream Special: http://www.comicon.com/2019/10/02/scream-presents-the-thirteenth-floor-new-tales-from-the-tower-block-of-terror/ (http://www.comicon.com/2019/10/02/scream-presents-the-thirteenth-floor-new-tales-from-the-tower-block-of-terror/)
Quote from: Colin YNWA on 02 October, 2019, 01:28:16 PMYeah I liked a lot of Peter Hogan's work in 2000ad and love his Robo-Hunter.
Yep. Hogan/Hughes Robo-Hunter was solid, and really nice to see after the hideous nadir that was the Mark Millar take.
Don't think I've seen this but I've just picked up my copy of Previews and as well as the 2000ad and Meg stuff we're seen on the linkie down thread there a solicitation for a HC Billy's Boots collection. Its not a strip I know but one I believe folks who do remember findly.
112 pages for $18.99 (whatever that will translate as by December about about £24 the way things are going !)
I hope it's okay to mention the 'competition' here!
Starblazer volume 1 (https://www.dcthomsonshop.co.uk/starblazer) - November 2019, 132 pages, DC Thomson.
"Out of this world Space Fiction Adventure in Pictures. An interstellar title not seen in almost three decades, Starblazer returns in Heritage Comics' latest graphic novel. Collating two classic issues from DC Thomson's archives and blowing them up to full graphic novel size with a brand new wraparound cover, this is something no Sci-Fi fan or British comic collector can do without!"
Includes "Operation Overkill" by Grant Morrison, plus "Jaws of Death".
I can't recall those stories but judging by the cover, at least one features occasional character Mikel Kayn (or however it was spelt).
(https://i.imgur.com/NJm5Ey6.jpg)
Operation Overkill is the first Mikal R Kayn story and has some absolutely sublime art by Alcatena. But Jaws of Death is no less notable, as it's Mike Mcmahon on art duties.
Blimey, how did I miss that? It's right there on the cover I posted. I must be as blind as Mikal Kayn!
Thanks Greg!

It was the SF equivalent of "Commando" - one standalone story every issue in the same size digest. They ended up with a few occasional characters who would appear in a new story every so often, but not many. Later on the run they broadened it to fantasy stories as well.
