Whuuuuh?!? Always nice to be surprised!
This looks really great, although I'm not sold on the need to exhume D. R. & Quinch. Let the FCBD Prog hunt begin!
Saw the cover preview of this and have been excited ever since. This only adds to that. In my fevered dreams this is being used as a prototype for a new ongoing release.
I was predictably aghast at the whole 'young' feeling of it.
And then I remembered the purpose of the exercise.
If an American kid picked this up and then felt encouraged to pick up a re-coloured Halo Jones for the same price of an Image tab, that's pretty cool outcome.
So well done for trying to reach out.
Old man out.
Looks great - I'd love to see this idea take off. Let's hope it doesn't end with FCBD.
I can't resist the urge to point out that Dredd's eagle is on the wrong shoulder in that penultimate panel though.

Bah I was onboard till you pointed this out now the whole thing is ruined !
oof- wonder if there is still time for it to be fixed before print?
It's part of the competition to spot the 'intentional' mistakes in each strip – don't ruin it for the kids.
Looks cool.
Looks Zarjaz!

The serpent god will not be happy....
Article on Bleeding Cool regarding the signing makes out Regened will be ongoing. This is wrong, yes?
New 2000AD Title to Launch on Free Comic Book Day at Orbital Comics (https://www.bleedingcool.com/2018/03/13/2000ad-free-comic-book-day-orbital-comics/)
Update: it isn't
Quote@bleedingcool Rich, this is a FCBD one-off, not an on-going title (https://twitter.com/2000AD/status/973556820538265600)
* it isn't ongoing, not it isn't wrong.
Rich Johnston gets a simple story hopelessly wrong due to inability to read a basic press release... I'm shocked. Shocked I tell you!
Silly question, how do you get 2000AD Regened ? Do you have to be at a book store ?
Hi,
You can get them at a participating comic book store.
The aim of Free Comic Book Day is to get people into the comic book stores, which is why they're not available digitally or through online stores.
They sometimes show up on eBay afterwards though.
Cheers Steve, but I believe the question was "How do you get 2000AD Regened?"
I've formulated a three part plan;
1) Print and laminate three of your favorite 2000AD covers in extras small size (60mm x 25mm).
2) Cut your hair* mohawk style and apply blue face paint.
3) Bust into the Rebellion offices and yell "Here are my boys....make them into men!"
*Only optional for 15% of the forum

Thank You but where I stay we do not really have any comic book stores and most people have never heard of FCBD.
Unfortunately it is not available digitally because that is the way I get my comics or order from places like Amazon

Ebay will be your best bet.
I'd recommend waiting until a few weeks after FCBD before seeking it out, give the prices a chance to settle.
Other than that you will always find a few kind souls on this forum with a spare copy.
i don't think moores gonna give a crap about dr and quinch since he hated it. Not that i would care otherwise but thats not for this thread

"Hate" is too strong a word; he has said he enjoyed writing but recognised it was "socially irresponsible".

...and that it was a shameless lift from the National Lampoon characters OC & Stiggs.
Sure, but I still loved DR & Quinch. Especially the sci-fi special one in the jungle.
The Sci Fi special was the pseudo-Scout camp story ("sorry, I skipped two pages") The jungle story was D.R. and Quinch get drafted ("Don't know, they must be claustrophobic.")
Plus .. Alan Davies Art. Always a pleasure.
Bit of a Necro-post but I'm hoping some kind squaxx will be able to help me out.
I normally manage to get myself over to the local comic shop (Nostalgia & Comics of Brum) every couple of months for a mooch, but I can't get there this weekend.
If anyone out there is able to bag a copy of Regened and wants to pass it on to a reasonable home- I'd be very grateful and more than happy to pay postage or if you are coming to LawgIVer or Oldham I'll have it off you there.
Ta.
And thanks to a droid who I'll not name- I'm sorted.
I love this place.
I'll put my hand up for a spare as well, please :D
Likewise, if anyone gets a spare, I'd love one and will happy pay postage, etc. Only one comic shop locally and they don't do FCBD. Hopefully if nothing else eBay will do the job. (A Place in Space last year sold a ton of FCBD stuff on the Sunday.)
I'm always grateful to A Place In Space for my reading copy each year, along with Eamonn's signed charity copy. Scalpers are really getting in on the act though now.
I recall last year 2000 AD was going for £15+ at one point on the Saturday. Some lovely person on here sent me a copy, but also A Place in Space had them (in fact, still has them) for sale on eBay at postage-only costs.
It really beggars belief that people try to flip these comics, but there you go.
I will try for you Bolt, but I am pretty unsure I'll get a copy for myself - speaking to N&C after last years debacle (had to send my wife Clare, who queued for 2 hours to be told they had all been given out to the early entry ticket people), they are still operating a limited early entry scheme to standing order customers - they have 30 copies coming in and 11 customers who have 2000AD as part of their standing order, so could be tricky! I'll back track to FP and try their random bags too - might strike lucky there (it was how Clare managed to get my last years).
I know Free Comci Book day and REcord Store day have honourable intentions, but more often than not, it is ironicaally ebay and internet scalpers who make the real money out of it - case in point, I have asked the chap in Oasis market to try to get me the limted edition Tim Buckley RSD release - he is still struggling adn I will probably ahve to cough up $30 to get it off ebay
Aha - see you are sorted, Bolt! That's one down! Do you think it would it help me get in early once they see the deckchair I will be needing to camp out due to some... delicate... surgery I had yesterday.. I could show them the scar! :o
I should be able to grab at least one extra copy and make it free to a good home - assuming I'm not stuck in work ::). Will update success/failure Saturday.
Likewise the plan is I'll be taking my daughter and while we're restricted to one copy per title each I've made it clear to her that she really wants a copy of this as well as daddy!
Cheers Leigh- appreciate the thought and in your condition, too...
My condition got the better of me! Bought from here, and 5p cheaper than a WMPTE (not WPTE) Daysaver! Still two left https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/112975874726
Hope to pick mine up today at Orbital, London, and hopefully catch up with some Souther irregulars....
I'm up already, so that's a good start. 🤣
Would any kind fellow heading to their LCS today be kind enough to nab a spare copy for my most unworthy self? Was all up for heading out early to Travelling Man but then got invited to not one, or two, but three job interviews and well, you can imagine what takes priorities right now! :lol: :think:
Parking, queuing... "We haven't got the 2000ad this year."
If you're planning on picking this up in Brighton, it's not there.

Hmm - I'm not sure that establishing how much cheaper and more straightforward it is to order off the internet than go to the bricks and mortars shoop is the intention - Saying that, I think that bar one time when I had to use Disposable Heroes (RIP?), I have got mine from a store on the day, but then I'm someone who usually goes to a shop for most purchases I make and use the internet as a back up for when the shops fails me - if I was mobile, I think I'd still have preferred to go in person and chance it.
I'd prefer to go in person, too. But locally there's only one comic store and they don't do FCBD. So that would mean going into the hell that is Reading, to a store that only ever gets in one copy of 2000 AD and hoping for the best, or spending 30 quid and several hours on a round-trip to London.
In the past, I used Disposable Heroes, too. Here's hoping A Place in Space has some bits on its store in the morning. (And I'll use that as an excuse to chuck some profits there way buy purchasing some expensive bits of card to store comics in, and to separate them in boxes.)
One copy now available to a good home. Hawkmumbler has first dibs if he isn't sorted already, otherwise next boarder to shout gets it.
Me!
David gets it if Hawk passes.

If you ever do go to London, don't forget you can also spend a few hours at the pub with other Squaxx...

I think I've sorted Hawks via Faciebookie so fingers crossed this can go to David. Alas tried to get a couple more to spread out but failed. I did however get a free copy of Rom of the Reds 1 from Forbidden Planet so if anyone hasn't read that, and you really should, more than happy to pass that on to someone.
Excellent stuff Colin, I'll take it Hawkie is progged-up. PM me your address David, and I'll get some stamps on it on Tuesday.
There's a few copies up on eBay already, with the highest price being £11.50
Deadly TB, PMed.
That's mental.
Are we posting reviews of FCBD on another thread? i see this one is titled "...(preview)"
some greedy so&so has just put upon eBay a signed copy for £59.95
Shocking, but I'm guessing they're as rare as Unicorn Poop this year. My own thrill merchant only got 5 copies and if I hadn't hassled him on Facefook this morning, he'd have forgotten to save me one. Apparently seven others tried to bag 'emselves one in the same manner, but 'cos I'm a loyal Squaxx I got special treatment (exactly why I buy from him every week and not subscribe). Here's hoping everyone manages to get a copy.
Missed out on this and yes, eBay sellers are being particularly Freddy this time around. Bah! 😕
Its the same every year. If folks can be patient they'll be 99p soon enough if past years are anything to go by.
True enough Colin.

I tried in Brighton too and was told they didn't order any 2000AD's.
I tweeted about it and Dave's Comics said they were given the wrong code for it so the order didn't work.
They are getting some in on Tuesday.
I wont be in Brighton then but a fellow Southern Contingent member got me one. Thanks Dweezil :D
I'm happy to pass on my copy if anyone wants it.

Yeah, pm me your address, I'll get it sent out in the week.
A Place in Space now have them up: https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F142785411741
I was working Saturday so got my hands on one, read it, enjoyed the Cadet JD the bestest.
Was in a friends communal garden on Saturday night, so passed it on to a youngling of about seven years old (specs and an Avengers t-shirt) he csat and read it cover to cover and took it away with him... Nice one Tharg!
