Straight from the new Previews catalogue:

"2000AD PROGS #1375-1378

A British institution, award-winning sci-fi anthology title 2000AD has been on the cutting edge of comics for 27 years! Future lawman Judge Dredd is kidnapped by a mutant with
murder on his mind in "Master of Terror" by Alan Grant (Lobo) and John Burns; Captain Jack Dancer battles creatures from the deep in "The Red Seas" by Ian Edginton (Batman vs Aliens II) and Steve Yeowell (The Invisibles); star-troopers The V.C.s are on a desperate mission to warn Earth about an alien threat, by Dan Abnett (The Legion) and Anthony Williams; Celtic warrior Slaine repels the invading sea demons, courtesy of Pat Mills and Clint Langley; and Steve Moore (Tom Strong) and John Lucas (Codename: Knockout) team up for new story "Valkyries," introducing a cadre of female Nordic space warriors, investigating a male terrorist conspiracy!

JUDGE DREDD MEGAZINE #216

Maximum justice every four weeks! This issue: a new Judge Dredd thriller; Phobia and Nausea's experiment continues in Anderson, PSI-Division: "Half-Life" (3 of 4: by Alan Grant & Arthur Ranson); unpukka tucker goes down a treat as a deranged robo-chef hits Mega-City One in "Whatever Happened to... Cookie?" (by Simon Spurrier & Roger
Langridge); Judge Death's quest for Weapons of Mass Destruction nears its end in "The Wilderness Days" (Part 7 of 8: by John Wagner & Frazer Irving); and the acolytes of Dredd's dinosaur nemesis gather in "Blood of Satanus II: Dark Matters" (3 of 4: by Pat Mills & Duke Mighten). Plus: news, features, interviews and classic British comic thrills, including Charley's War (Pat Mills & Joe Colquhoun). (CAUT: 4)"


Good to see Alan Grant back on Dredd. Valkyries sounds... interesting, and I wouldn't be at all surprised to see it attract some attention from the Keanes.

The Meg looks great. It'll be interesting to see Phobia and Nausea back, and the prospect of Roger Langridge in the Meg has got me grinning. Good to see that Charlie's War continues...

"NEMESIS THE WARLOCK: DEATH TO ALL ALIENS GN
by Pat Mills, Kevin O'Neill & Jesus Redondo

From the classic British creative team of Pat Mills (Judge Dredd) and Kevin O'Neill (League of Extraordinary Gentleman), comes a tale of futuristic rebellion! Grand Inquisitor Torquemada and his zealots rule with an iron fist, stamping out alien life and
culture. However, one alien stands in his way: the mysterious Nemesis. Now in sumptuous paperback! Includes the never-before-collected Nemesis Book Two by Pat
Mills and Jesus Redondo!"


Good news for anyone who didn't pick up the hardback edition of this. It's well worth the cash, even if it now looks unlikely Titan will be publishing any more Nemesis in the immediate future.

-------------------------
-------------------------

Finally, some bloke who used to do something-or-other at 2000AD has got another series coming soon ;-)

"SWAMP THING #1

Written by Andy Diggle; art and cover by Enriqu? Breccia
In stores March 3.

The original Swamp Thing is back?and nothing will ever be the same. Andy Diggle and Enriqu? Breccia join forces to bring new life to the swamp, as its defender is reintroduced to VERTIGO in an all-new ongoing series. Stripped of Alec Holland's human conscience, the Swamp Thing seeks to restore balance to the natural world by destroying his own daughter Tef?, herself a powerful Elemental, and his loving wife Abby. Can HELLBLAZER's John Constantine prevent humanity from getting caught in the crossfire?"

It's an oddly liberating experience, as is throttling the mate who's doing the cutting for you after he gives you a Phil Oakey cut and takes photos, for a laff.

Wasn't very happy when I told him he'd have to eat the pictures - digital camera, y'see...

I told you, don't do anything without asking yer missus first, she legally owns you, it should be her decision whether you get it cut or not.
