There's enough Savage to potentially do another 3 books. 2nd book would most likely be identical to The Guv'nor trade then we'd be getting stuff that hasn't made it into trades yet in the last 2. No idea if that's likely to make it into the extension or not, although I guess The Guv'nor material is probably a safeish bet. Thanks to Tharg, 2000 AD has built up it’s own unique lingo over the years. Most of it is used by Tharg, although some of it makes its way into marketing material too. yeah having trawled Barney it's not all that hard to get a list of 40 more potential volumes just looking at Prog and Meg stuff. We have discussed the first and second volume of these collections and have found them to be great introductions for new readers. They’ve also been a great sales success, with the first volume selling far more copies than anticipated in the UK and US. The spine incorrectly showed '79' instead of '63', although the number shown correctly inside as '63' (79 was the volume in the previous issue) - the spine picture is also incorrectly showing that of volume 79. The publisher issued a free replacement copy of this volume with issue 81 ("Flesh")

Judge Dredd has been running almost as long as 2000 AD, with character appearing in Prog 2 and almost every subsequent prog since. That’s a lot of stories! Has the same title as the earlier story from Prog "2000". According to the book's In Detail section, "Morrison has no idea what happened there, and blames it on forgetfulness on the part of writer and editor" The spin-offs are often based on characters that appeared in another series and were deemed popular or interesting enough to sustain their own tales. These strips tend to focus on what’s going on in the protagonist’s corner of the universe instead of strictly tying into something that’s running concurrently.Prefer to read digitally?

Over the past 45 years, 2000 AD has been a vital comic anthology in the English-speaking world. It’s home to iconic characters, such as Judge Dredd, and has been a breeding ground for celebrated writers and artists. In the UK, Ireland, and some other places, 2000 AD can be found weekly in all good comic book stores.Psuedo-Sam laments the cancellation of his three prostitutes (true) and refers to his barber as a dago (still true) before everything descends into Sweeney Todd with robots. There's still a lot of good Dredd to collect - you could have several Niemand volumes, for starters. What else? Thistlebone? Feral and Foe? The Out? ( Whisper it - Skip Tracer?) I'd personally love a book of 3rillers. Since its inception, 2000 AD has been a breeding ground for writing and artistic talent. Some have had long careers in the anthology. Others have made big waves internationally – sometimes outside of comics.

You can discover if your favourites have any previous tales with these excellent indexes collated by Wikipedia user Richard75. So, you’ve dipped your toes into the 2000 AD pool and found some awesome comics. Now you’re probably wondering how to catch up on your favourite series. There's lots of shooting and yelling, forests made of decomposing body parts and another theme park. A murderous Cutie, who can fly now (and always presents as a blonde babe in a red swimsuit), is ripped apart by an cyborg in a comfy sweater, who earlier seemed to have been murdered by being impaled with a golf club (by a gay insectoid S&M fashionista).

I listed different ways to find 2000 AD in the section above, but there was one method that I didn’t mention. That’s a subscription. You can get your 2000 AD and/or Judge Dredd Megazine fix without leaving the house, with a variety of options to suit your preference. Judge Dredd Megazine is the sister comic to 2000 AD. As the name suggests, it focuses on Judge Dredd’s universe with a Dredd strip and many spin-offs. This is very exciting for us as the Mega Collection has been hugely positive for 2000 AD and we want that success to continue. No. Unlike Marvel or DC, not every 2000 AD comic is part of a shared universe. Most series are their own thing, without any connection to anything else.

The one thing that is always constant is Judge Dredd. It will always be present in each prog, traditionally opening the anthology. So this Savage is just going to be Taking Liberties, no incorporating The Guv'nor as well. I was hoping we would get some of the stuff that was released after those two trades. Its obvious that there's more as noted on Wikipedia.

The series is the second collaboration between Hachette Partworks and 2000 AD publisher Rebellion Developments, following the success of Judge Dredd: The Mega Collection. It is available in the UK, Ireland and Australia. Redondo on fine form as an artist. I'd rate it as second to his run on Mind Wars of Starlord fame but then I've always been a little biased towards that tome. All his hallmark spaceship styles on show.
