Best 2000AD Full color comics outside Dredd

[seitani]

What are best full color 2000AD comics outside Judge Dredd. Can be either recolored classic story/book or original.

For example: Nemesis The Warlock: Deviant Edition.

[WhizzBang]

The entire run of Nikolai Dante is full colour and is great.

Thanks i'll have to check that out. 

[The Adventurer]

Color is overrated.

This is the right answer.

Though The Adventures answer is also good - Check out Lawless as evidence of this.

I'd also recommend Kingdom as a new but classicly definative 2000ad strip.

Of the newer stuff, The Fall of Deadworld (Dave Kendall) boasts some extraordinary colour art, as does Scarlet Traces (D'Israeli) and the freshest of blooms, Thistlebone (Simon Davis). Brink (Ian Culbard) also makes brilliant use of colour.

But for the fullest of full colour, try The Zaucer of Zilk (Brendan McCarthy)

[Rogue Judge]

Strontium Dog (once Alpha returns, some color in SD vol 5 and all volumes afterwards, including The Life and Death of Johnny Alpha onwards). Consistent Carlos Ezquerra art, all in color, words by John Wagner.

More recent picks: Kingdom, Jaeger, Glimmer Rats, and War Machine.

I agree that B&W can sometimes be better, see Lawless as reccomend by Colin - a must!

I have recently r-read Shakara and the art is just brilliant but also in BW

Well with the odd moment of red.

With a splash of blue as well

Is it 2000AD ultimate collection strontium dog vol 5 or is there agency files vol 5?

[IndigoPrime]

He's referring to the Agency Files. In terms of the Rebellion books, about half of The Final Solution is in colour, and then so are all of the subsequent books (which begin as a soft reboot, then start 'filling the gaps', and then essentially retcon the aftermath of The Final Solution). However, don't dismiss B+W. Some of 2000 AD's non-colour books have stunning art. Early Nemesis wouldn't have benefitted from colour, to my mind. (Personally, I wish other publications would follow suit. I'd love to see a V for Vendetta with just B+W art. And in my 'become a billionaire' world, I'd like to see Zenith Phase 4 reverted to B+W, and also the non-Yeowell pages redrawn by the man himself!)

However, don't dismiss B+W. Some of 2000 AD's non-colour books have stunning art. Early Nemesis wouldn't have benefitted from colour, to my mind.

Simplistic as most of the stories are, the B&W work of Gibbons, Kennedy and Wilson, in particular, on early Rogue Trooper is frequently stunning.

[IndigoPrime]

I've never really understood the drive for colour. Some stories just seem suited to B+W art. I'll admit that despite owning every volume of Usage Yojimbo, I'm a bit twitchy about its shift to painted art under IDW. (I have a few colour volumes – those hardback GNs – but I prefer Sakai's black and white art by some margin.)

[TordelBack]

Obviously I heartily agree with all these points, B&W art is a thing of grossly undervalued beauty, but by promoting it here on a thread specifically requesting colour recommendations we do run the risk of sounding like the kind of self-satisfied unhelpful knobs Facebook etc. accuses us of being...

Don't tase me, bros.
