2000 AD Prog 2471 Release date: February 25, 2026 Cover Artist: Cliff Robinson A maximum voltage cover from Cliff Robinson to kick off the new Judge Dredd story arc! Giambattista Vico, an 18th century sociologist, theorized that with each flash of lightning man relives their primitive terror of divine power. Dredd at least appears to be somewhat concerned! JUDGE DREDD // CLIMATE CRISIS - PART ONE Writer: Rob Williams & Ned Hartley Artist: PJ Holden Colorist: Jack Davies Lette

It acts as an homage to nostalgia for Star Trek the original series while also telling a much darker story. That a programmer who traps his coworkers’ consciousness in a procedurally generated game scenario based on the that show. In the shadow of that retro-futurism hides elements of The Matrix mixed with Ready Player One and that episode of The Twilight Zone with that terrible little god-kid.

The Thing on the Doorstep starts with a murder, as seen on the preview pages above. A gruesome murder, that I was surprised how it happened without warning. The story starts in 1933 with Daniel Upton shooting his "friend" (in quotes because, why would he shoot a friend) Edward Derby but then the story goes back 35 years to their first meeting and goes thru various points in their lives.

After last week’s grand finale we’re back in the business of building suspense and business is booming!

For fans of sword and sorcery Barbaric is one of the best options currently on the market. Moreci and Gooden have been reliably delivering one great story (3 issues usually) every year, and Barbaric now boasts a rich fantasy world, a large cast of thoroughly entertaining characters, and all the blood and humor you could want.

Publisher: Invader Comics Release date: February 11th, 2026 Writer: David R. Flores and Jarod Hunter Roe Artist: David R. Flores Colorist: Lorenzo Scaramella Letterer: Letter Squids Editor: Barnett Brettler PRICE: $6.99 REVIEW Private investigator Randall Halsey could really use some friends to be there for him right now because it has definitely not been his day, his week, his month, or even his year. All he’s got instead is a missing young woman and enough cynicism to fill

The art is great. Really good character designs, lots of details. Tons of texture. There is not a wasted line in either book. If you like the comic art made famous at Image in the 90s, you will feel right at home here. If anything, its that style but with modern sensibilities and coloring.

2000 AD Prog 2469 Release date: February 11, 2026 Cover Artist: Mike Perkins Price: $2.99 digital, $5.49 print Subscription $10.99 Digital, $16.99 print subscription (4-5 issues a month) How about that cover by Mike Perkins! His work throughout this storyline has been beyond reproach and this is an especially delicious cherry on top. Somewhat reminiscent of Steve Ditko’s great “lifting sequence” from Amazing Spider-Man #33, way back in 1965, though more likely Atlas lifting t

Shin Zero is a book of combinations. It is French sci-fi cartooning and Japanese monster manga, slice-of-life meditation and high concept action-adventure, an entry in the 75-year-old tokusatsu genre and a profoundly modern story of gig-economy workers, and it is a synthesis of the talents of Mathieu Bablet and Guillaume Singelin, with Bablet writing and Singelin illustrating.

Are you a middle-aged stoner who once D.A.R.E.d to Keep Kids Off Drugs? Have you ever wished there was a Disney-level theme park solely dedicated to large semiaquatic mammals? Do you enjoy brightly colored comics full of action, comedy, and 70s buddy cop movie tropes?

Another week and another 2000 AD prog review! As the format of the weekly anthology series continues to sink its hooks in deep, and I find myself jonesing for the latest instalments from the mighty house of Tharg! Lock the door, unplug the phone, my stories are on!

Nick Cagnetti’s art is absolutely electrifying, and lures you into the “book of the dead” narrative with a seemingly bottomless bag of visual tricks and delights. Combining the extra-dimensional dynamism of Jack Kirby, filtered through Mike Allred’s ginchy gloss, with a dash of Michael Avon Oeming or maybe Bruce Timm’s less-is-more stark cartooning, and Ditko-esque metaphysics.

Kristen Gudsnuk has such a uniquely witty approach to comics storytelling that I really gravitate toward. I was a huge fan of her series Henchgirl (TPB currently available through Dark Horse!) and I’m thrilled to have a new book from her to look forward to each month. If you’ve never checked out her stuff before, Touched by a Demon is a perfect potion of humor and horror to get you started.

Writer Sophie Campbell does a stellar job with what she’s given here, using a second-tier monster first as background to tragedy, and then as vehicle for redemption for twin sisters Emi and Mira, who are separated as children in a battle between Mothra and Antra.

This is perhaps a different kind of evaluation of 2000 AD, the towering institutional edifice at the center of British comics, than you might usually find, because this is the first issue, or prog, I've ever read!

I read a lot of comics at my desk. My kids pass by constantly, used to seeing their dad buried in panels and speech bubbles. But while reading this first issue, something new happened. My youngest daughter, six years old and usually far more interested in K-pop demon hunters than indie sci-fi, stopped, stared at the page, and said, “Wow. What is that?” She sat beside me and wanted to see more.

The book is a one-shot set on Third Earth, the planet the ThunderCats call home. The THUNDA-TANK (how I hear it in my head) breaks down due to some unforeseen circumstances in a very cold area and a mysterious person attacks them.
