Hello,
Was a massive 2000AD fan growing up, and have been out of the loop for nearly ten years, but recently my passion for all things Tharg have been rekindled, but I'm pretty clueless so hopefully y'all wont mind if I pop in on here now and again to get advise and direction on the best was to back track the stories I loved.

Hello, good citizen!
I recommend catching up on Judge Dredd, and all things John Wagner, Button Man too.
Hi. The current TPB line are a prefect way of catching up. My recommendations would be Dredd: Total War and the first Nikolai Dante trade.
Thanks. Nikolai Dante is someone I'd not heard of, need to check him out, really like the look of it
Welcome aboard Sepp and I'd quickly check out Dante, as it's coming to a finale very soon ;)
I'd echo what Cosh and others have said Dante is one of the best things to have ever appeared in 2000ad and well worth checking out as its easy available in trade (volume 3 may appear elusive but they still have some in the 2000ad online shop apparently but I'd grab one quick). Its brillant.
Total War is also a recent Dredd epic that's well worth a look as will the 'Tour of Duty' books now they have started to roll out (with I'd guess a couple more to come?)
Also if you like Indigo Prime and Delvin Waugh (did I imagine that or was it some else who said it?) why not check out Leatherjack by John Smith as well... well anything you can get your hands on by John Smith really!
What ever you decide to welcome aboard and have fun.

I did say that, loved Prime (esp Killing Time) and Devlin. Are there any compilations out there? Or will I have to track down back issues?
Also, big thank you for giving me a warm welcome on here
Welcome from Leicester.
Peruse through the shop and see what takes your fancy.

Her you go:

As well as Dante, newer stories you could be interested in include Defoe, Stickleback, Shakara, Zombo, etc. (see also my comments here (http://www.2000adonline.com/forum/index.php/topic,29653.msg536877.html#msg536877)) plus there are good collections available for Dredd, Rouge Trooper, Strontium Dog, Nemesis and the ABC Warriors. We've never had it so good ;)

Isn't that the rude version?
:o I dont know if this is bad or good, but I've just spent the best part of £200 on amazon getting back into the fold. The addiction starts here.
Should I be thanking you? I say so :D No one tell the Mrs :P
You can negate the deletrious conscequences of Thrill Adherency if you collect your number for Meat Find.

I have a tear in my eye, one more person to sit in the Thrill Addicts Anonymous group :'(
Don't think I've ever blown £200 in one go, but I counted up all my GNs the other day, estimated an average price and multiplied it.
Then I had to sit down for a bit. :o
Welcome to the More Money Than Sense Club (founded by my Mum, sometime in the 70s)!
:lol:I know! It's terrible! All the old names, titles, and beautiful covers seduced me, and I was powerless
Welcome.

Blimey, I almost feel guilty, almost. It is buried under the warm glow of Spreading the Word.

Its a deal, as long as you tell us what you think after you've read those (the general 2000AD review forum (http://www.2000adonline.com/forum/index.php/board,8.0.html) probably has a thread on most titles/collections by now (partly down to Colin's fine work) so you should be able to find somewhere to throw in your thoughts - the opinions of The Returned is always worth soliciting as they may have a different perspective on the stories than those who grimly hung on in there during the Bad Times.

I'll 100% do that sir, it'd be a pleasure. I'm proper excited about seeing the postman, which hasnt happened for a long old while :P
Arfnoon,
I sincerely hope that in that smodigum of thrillpower you requested be sent up the amazon, or whatever it was, there was a copy of 'Leviathan'. Because i reread it last night and feel duty bound now to carry it around with me, thrusting (thrusting, i say) it in the faces of complete strangers and shouting "THIS! THIS is why i read comics! THIS! at MY age!"
And hello.
SBT
No sorry (need to check that out tho, you really sold it to me)
Got a load of Devlin Waugh, a load of Dredd, and Judge Death, Future Shocks, Indigo Prime, and a shedload of the old annuals aswell. Also I got a load of Non 2000AD comics

Might be worth waiting though.
There is a paperback coming:
www.amazon.co.uk/Leviathan-2000-AD-Ian-Edginton/dp/190751919X/
That is twice as big as the hardcover:
www.amazon.co.uk/Leviathan-2000-Ad-Disraeli/dp/1904265650/
