Rebellion has announced this year’s 2000AD Sci-Fi Special, featuring a cover by Chris Weston, filled with stories to supercharge your Summer.
The 52-page Special will offer high-octane action and adventure from across the Galaxy, and features the return of classic characters, alongside some of the most exciting new Thrillers this side of Nu-Earth.
Judge Dredd heads off on his hols thanks to writer Al Ewing, making his long-awaited return to Mega-City One after thrilling readers around the world on series like Immortal Hulk and Absolute Green Lantern! We’re sure it’ll be a nice and peaceful trip for him, and certainly nothing horrific will happen which will require the full force of the Law to be upheld!
Dredd’s followed through spaceport security by the return of Strontium Dog Johnny Alpha and his team of intergalactic bounty hunters! Best pack a few extra time grenades and make sure you’ve brought a spare charger for the Electro-Nux, because trouble always follows Johnny, Wulf, and the Search/Destroy Agency!
This packed issue also checks in Cyd Finlea for a one-off The Out story by creators Dan Abnett and Mark Harrison – if anyone knows about getting away from it all, it’s galactic photojournalist Cyd: nobody has gone further “Out” of the known universe than she has!
Plus, there’s a brand new “Future Shock” from the team of Andi Ewington and Nick Dyer to get you panicking ahead of your own holiday this year… and this special is rounded out by the return of all-round gentleman and occult detective Ampney Crucis to the Galaxy’s Greatest for the first time in… what, a decade? Where the deuce has he been? Only Ian Edginton and D’Israeli know!
With five electric stories to get you crackling with Thrill-Power this summer, The 2000AD Sci-Fi Special is an adventure into the unknown which you can’t afford to miss!
Seatbelts on, universal passports in hand, Earthlets – let’s go!
• The 2000AD Sci-Fi Special 2025 will be out on Wednesday 16th July from all good newsagents and comic book stores, as well as the 2000AD app and webshop
