Sneak Peek: 2000AD Prog 2097 – and some hints of new thrills in Prog 2100!

2000AD 2097 - Cover

As the countdown continues toward 2000AD Prog 2100, here’s a quick look at the next issue of Britain’s only SF weekly comic, on sale on Wednesday in all good newsagents, UK comic shops and via various digital platforms.

This issue features “Judge Dredd“, “The Order“, “Survival Geeks“, “Grey Area” and “Mechastopheles“, all stories thundering towards their respective climaxes in a mere fortnight.

Coming in the landmark Prog 2100 will be a new “Fiends of the Eastern Front” story, alongside third series of deep space drama “Brink” by Dan Abnett and INJ Culbard. In the new story, “High Society”, HSD officer Bridget Kurtis goes undercover on the Yulyia Habitat in a bid to infiltrate the doomsday cult that murdered her partner — a highly dangerous operation, where no one can be trusted…

Always busy (hence all the clone jokes), Dan Abnett is of course the writer on the Judge Dredd Megazine strip “Lawless“, which features absolutely stunning art by Phil Winslade – and a new arc begins in Issue 400, on sale soon!

In This Prog…

Mega-City One, 2140 AD. Home to over 100 million citizens, this urban hell is situated along the east coast of post-apocalyptic North America.

Now, a terror cell called the Sons of Booth are attempting to bring down Justice Department…

Somewhere in the outer limits of space/time, plunging through the planes of reality, is what looks like a regular suburban two-up two-down, but it is in fact powered by misfiring trans-dimensional technology. Inside live sci-fi obsessives Clive, Rufus and Simon, plus reluctant housemate Sam and pet Cthulhu Howard: explorers on the edge of beyond. Now, they’re on a world plagued by murderous Slashers…

The mid 21st century.
