Title: 2000ad Completists buy this now!!!!!!!
Post by: COMMANDO FORCES on 31 May, 2008, 05:05:21 AM
Okay I know some of you lot out there are as bad as me for collecting, so having found this I thought you had better know!
Prog 1589 comes in two covers, the first is the Defoe one which is advertised, but the second is the issue given away free with SFX no171 and with that you have to buy it from ASDA or you won't get it. This one has the X-ray Dredd head with the microchip tooth as the cover.
Okay infomercial ends now.........

Doesn't next months SFX come with some 2000ad playing cards?

Yes it does.
And they have different packaging to the ones given away by the Meg and some of the cards have NEW artwork also.

Any preview images available? Can't find anything on the SFX website but "X-ray Dredd head" is an intriguing description!!

Is it the same as the back of the The Slaying of Slade Extreme then?

Hi,

I just went to Asda but there was no free 2000AD advertised for SFX 171 (the X-Files cover?) - is it only at the check out that you find out about it?

Cheers,

Linton

It is enclosed in a plastic wrap with the mag itself.
As for a pic, I shall try and put one up tomorrow with it next to the regular issue.

Wasn't in my local Asda-just the non-bagged variety.

I've always been a geek but I guess I'm now officially a nerd as I stopped off at Asda on the way home and got one.

The SFX issue has an X-Files cover, but that's probably the same as the normal one.

I wonder if that picture's connected to Dredd getting his teeth smashed out at the end of origins?

"SJS insert spycam into Dredd's mouth. Little learned..."

Saw this last night and despite it being a lovely cover there is no way I want to buy SFX.

However, it is an ASDA exclusive extra according to the packaging so well done Tharg.

Oh yeah, Street-teamed in the store as well.

Thanks for the pic, but how come it has the 'old' design ie. without the lettering "2000 AD" to the right of the logo? Are we due to revert?

Matt- IIRC this image has been around for a while- so I'm just thinking that the new layout doesn't work withthat image. The 'eyes' would be largely obscured by the current dress.

Just a thought
