aaah, when I saw this, for a moment I thought that old ABC warriors cartoon trailer had been made into a series. Ah well, this sounds interesting too!

Not just me, then. I shall therefore be horribly disappointed if A isn't at the very least a 30-minute ABC Warriors hand-puppet show. *stares at Molch-R*

Me three. Still this sounds interesting... not as interesting but still interesting...
Just in case you missed the most recent episode, it's Ace Trucking Co.!
https://youtu.be/FAFaKPqzguI
Next up will probably be Absalom (which probably should have come after ABC Warriors, ho well)
Out...of order. 'Twitch twitch'
But joking aside, that was bloody enjoyable. More please!
Next up on the 2000 AD ABC, it's cops and horrors series 'Absalom'! https://youtu.be/ea1rs5_j3WA
Watched the first one of these and thorougly enjoyed it.
But the presenter should be much more "Me, me, me! Forget the comic, it's all about Me!". Every other youtube thing I've seen is like that.
(Not really).
Yeah, what's needed are super-fast cuts to Molcher stage-winking, looking vacant or shouting at the camera, then it'd be all 'contemporary aesthetic', yo.
Good fun, these.
I've just uploaded the latest 2000 AD ABC - Alec Worley and Jon Davis-Hunt's Age of the Wolf: https://youtu.be/xYI2ik8oakM

...Man, it's going to be _ages_ before we get to Bradley...
spare a thought for fans of Zenith!
This is a staggeringly better use of YouTube than so much other nonsense out there. Thank you!
It's Monday, so it's time for another 2000 AD ABC! This week it's mobsters, motherhood and mayhem with Wagner and Ezquerra's Al's Baby https://youtu.be/j4pHAMPUFvQ
Far be it from me to suggest that Marvel are once again stealing from the Galaxies Greatest, (give us back Al Ewing already*) but, well I am**
http://www.comicsbeat.com/marvel-101-video-series-will-educate-you-on-marvel/ (http://www.comicsbeat.com/marvel-101-video-series-will-educate-you-on-marvel/)
Cheeky, cheeky Marvel.
* Well yeah clearly Marvel didn't steal Al Ewing as Al Ewing was never owned by Marvel BUT ya know - give him back anyway!
** Well yeah I have no idea if Marvel have seen Molch-R putting his Theatre Degree (or whatever it was) to the test, nor whether they were doing this already, which is very possible but still, stop stealing... even if ya not really.
Depending on your definition of the word "treat", the latest 2000 AD ABC is either a festive treat or a terrifying glimpse into what fate befalls droids whose sub-routines fail: https://youtu.be/ejEXxsxqYN8
We're now back on track after the winter break and firmly in the Bs - this week's episode is on The Ballad of Halo Jones! https://youtu.be/CJSsSUX10gw
Or Zragg, Dictators of.
Not for the faint of heart, the latest episode of 2000 AD ABC is on Big Dave: https://youtu.be/cucf5u7weAM
We mix Hindu legend and superhero tropes in the next installment of our alphabetical journey through 2000 AD's greatest series - Pat Mills and Simon Davis' BLACK SIDDHA! https://youtu.be/HakfBCCUYsY
(http://s9.postimg.org/na0558rcf/Template_for_You_Tube.jpg)
Somehow I always misread this series as Black Sitar, like it's a sequel to an obscure David Sylvian sngle
Black Siddha really is an oddity. I like it, but i'm not quite sure why as it's almost beat for beat identical to the dreaded Finn of which i'm far, far from a fan.
We somehow missed watching the Big Dave (how could it have been I missed that one...) and Bix Barton episodes. All caught up now. Shall have to dig out the Black Siddha floppies in a bit.
What's happened to these? Enjoyed weekly recaps of Thrills old and new. Hope they return soon.
The ABCs are just on a short break while the video droids are busy with games stuff, but fear not - they will return!
Great, thanks, look forward to it!

...Maybe if you wake Dash Descent up he could do it for you.

THE 2000 AD ABC IS BACK! Molch-R returns with the weekly, bite-sized series about the greatest stories to have ever appeared in 2000 AD, the Galaxy's Greatest Comic! This week, it's time for the 1980s' and '90s' most out-of-control teenager - Alan McKenzie and Simon Harrison's BRADLEY! https://youtu.be/g47vAZwSD0k

Oh, and don't hold back on next week's subject - I think I detected that you quite like Brass Sun :-)
Ah! Bradley, one of those titles before my time on the prog and decidedly unsure weather i'd get excited for a (as you say unplanned) reprint. Seem's very much a product of the 90's.

That would be very welcome.
Great to see these return. I was never a massive fan of Bradley, but that's half the fun - series old and new being recapped for something to investigate or reminisce about. Thanks guys.
Yep, a welcome return. Nice to guess the next one, too.
I'm partial to a bit of puerile Bradley, it gave me something to cling onto on a recent 90's (re?)read.
Whisky wars, clan violence, and weaponised bagpipes - we continue our quest through the 2000 AD ABCs with the Scotland of Judge Dredd's world with CALHAB JUSTICE! https://youtu.be/dYxI6C4xjxk

I've just noticed the link to The Clown was missed between Chopper and Cradlegrave.
We've watched it but I'm mentioning so that Molch-R can add it to the thread :)
Wot no Chronos Carnival or Colony Earth?
(Actually, I'm not sure even I would want to be quite so completist on this fine series! I'm well pleased we go some Clown love, mind.)
He's a hard-talking, hard-drinking son of a gun who brings his own brand of justice to the Cursed Earth. It's time to get on Dredd's nerves with Cursed Earth Koburn in the latest 2000 AD ABC video https://youtu.be/QP1a0pWLD8c

Thanks for keeping these coming Molch-R. Great fun and much appreciated.
Woo - DR and Quinch!

Glad you enjoyed it! And that's entirely up to the Smith droid.
It has been a while since we've seen Dev...
A great ABC for Devlin, and would always be happy to see more!
Being out of the office a couple of Mondays in a row means I've been a bit remiss about posting the latest ABCs here. So...

I really liked Bradley. I'm sad to hear that there are no news stories for me to read but pleased I didn't miss out and anything.
Was I ready for more Bradley? Oh yeth, ever tho...
Oops, been a while since I posted a new episode on here! This week it's everyone favourite Volgan-hater, Bill Savage http://www.2000adonline.com/post/1486

I was a bit surprised how long ago the last one was - with the youtube subscription email I get told on the day it comes out.
We reached Sinister Dexter. :)
Lots of spoilers in the Strontium Dog edition. I thought these were trying to hook in new readers but I guess they must be aimed at people who know the stories already...
P.S. "Cartidge"?

Remembering this nonsense and how much I've enjoyed every episode of the ABC. Like the new(ish) intro too. Thanks Molch-R and the creative team, I'm enjoying many past thrills thanks to this series.
Wonder whether Bish-Op has seen that The Straitjacket Fits is finally getting the recognition it deserves in the latest episode.

Great. Although the link to Dredd's world was tentative at best, I seem to remember being fairly amused by it, but that might have been after it became a Star Trek parody.
A belated big thank you to Molch-R and the team for the completion of this series, it shows what a great legacy of stories 2000AD has produced over the years. I kept asking for it to be resumed during a lull, and it's a great tribute to stories old and new. Bravo.
For real! A ton of work has gone into this series, and well worth it, too.
Thanks, very much appreciated! And glad you've enjoyed the series.
