IS TIME!
Angel Cox
If there's any time you should support a comic its this one.
PLEASE buy this issue. Its only a few quid/ameribux
I've been pirating dredd for years but I buy the trades as much as I honestly can afford. The company (Rebellion) deserves sales for this for turning 2000AD around and completely restructuring the comic and the magazine and even all the trades and stuff.
Please support this issue if you can. I personally am going to buy a couple for myself and for some friends :)
Jace Parker
In addition to his normal roles in Ro-Busters and the ABC Warriors, Mek Quake traditionally also smushes things for Tharg (useless staff-droids, mostly). So yeah, that's exactly what he's going to do.
Christopher Myers
Awwww yeah squaxx! Thanks for the storytime. It's definitely light on plot but it definitely feels like a celebration. Loving the interlude pages (especially Cook's, with all the new characters), the Anderson strip felt cathartic as hell (andcheck out that old school logo!) and I'm digging Counterfeit Girl quite a lot. Rogue felt too much like a prologue strip tho'. Sinister Dexter too, but at least that one left the prologuing for the very last page. And of course, Mills being Mills and O'Neill kicking ass were a treat, and although the Dredd story felt telegraphed as drokk, it was still loads of fun. So yeah, loved it to bits. Here's to 2000 more!
Jaxson Mitchell

I'm not 100% sure, but I think the blonde with the gun is from Space Girls in the infamous Sex Issue, the woman with the pony tail and Hyper vest is from Babe Race 2000, two-guns-with-sunglasses-indoors and #1-three-bad-haircuts could be Pussy Willow and Lucy Melmoth from Pussyfoot 5 (a Devlin Waugh spin-off). Not sure about the tiny girl with the fists and a hair antennae, looks a bit like one particular picture of Galen DeMarco from Dredd?
Bentley Stewart
Can't find the other two I was looking for.

no its just the first one i read, i started reading 2000ad after the recent dredd movie lol.
Hunter Rodriguez
What a twist!
Grayson Perez
>But why doesn't Cred Forums show love to Rogue Trooper?
Because you either had had to play the PS2 game or be an oldfag who has read the actual strips. Rogue's been in semi-permanent retirement for what, twenty years now, most current fans haven't read any of his stuff.
Jaxon Taylor
Then I retract my previous post. You are clearly a juve of taste and distinction
Cooper Young
Yeah, doesn't help that Rogue is in a bad spot story-wise. Nobody wants to do new stuff for fear of getting lambasted as new Friday/Fleisher run, and getting him back to Nu-Earth feels like the most retready of retreads. I like the idea of expanding his universe with stuff like Tor Cyan and 86ers, and it's worked out well so far, but Rennie's heart just doesn't seem terribly into it lately. Hopefully this Traitor General stuff does the trick. At least the PJ Holden art for it looks fucking wonderful.
Owen Watson
>Nobody wants to do new stuff for fear of getting lambasted as new Friday/Fleisher run I only played the game on PC and know the barebones overview of the universe, what actually happened with the story?
Anthony Brooks
Ok, so after Rogue and co found the Traitor General, they tried extending the story with a handful of gimmicky plots. Wasn't very good, didn't last long. Then Dave Gibbons rebooted the strip with a new GI, Friday, and for a while it was good. But then Gibbons left the strip and somehow, Michael "Jonah Hex" Fleisher was brought in to write. And that wasn't very good at all. And then they decided that both GI's were canon and shared the same universe, and things got very muddled indeed and ended unceremoniously shortly afterwards. There's been a lot of spinoffs ever since (The 86ers, Mercy Heights, Venus Bluegenes got a short-lived series, and most recently Jaegir) but Rogue himself only shows up for special milestone issues like this.
Carson Bell
I wonder if anyone from 2000AD browses Cred Forums.
Juan James
But the old strips were good. Heard that IDW was gonna re-release the old strips in color. Unfortunately it didn't meet sales and got canned like their IDW "ongoing" If it got a film like the new Dredd, it might breathe in new life. But I guess 2000AD doesn't have the fundings or faith in the project.
Connor Murphy
Sounds pretty awful, is that why they don't seem to be collected in the last two Rogue Trooper collections, vol. 3-4?
Justin Roberts
I actually quite like War Machine, the initial Rogue reboot. I think it holds up as an Else worlds kind of take on the character but the stories that followed just didn't seem to understand what the new Rogue was supposed to be about. Then it somehow managed to get even worse when they tried to crowbar the original back in again
Ryder Stewart
Speaking as somone who normally hates adding colour to old strips IDW reprints are really well done. And the four issues of original story they did manage to put out are some of the best Rogue I've read since the original run
Joseph Nelson
Thanks! This is after my LCS' monthly cutoff so I won't have this until early November...
Jose Harris
Oh yeah, War Machine is great. It's even better at doing the "war really sucks" thing that Finlay-Day's original. It's what came afterwards that poisoned the well.
I honestly believe that Rogue would be an even easier sell for a movie than Dredd. I mean: >Basic renegade soldier looking for revenge plot >Crazy sci-fi war madness with tons of action >Shirtless protagonist Get a good action director and cast Vin Diesel as Rogue plus a bunch of names for the biochips and you could easily get yourself maybe not a hit, but an easy film to sell.
Yep. It's pretty much a gag nowadays, much like Space Girls and Babe Race 2000.
Landon Brown
It's an OH IT'S THIS CUNT episode. And I like it.

Leo Peterson
Mercy Heights was the strip running when I first started reading 2000AD.
They ran a bunch of old RT strips in the Megazine in the early/mid-00s I'm sure.
Brandon Rodriguez
I like the idea that she gently dozes off to sleep by dreaming of kicking Death's arse, sleep machine after sleep machine.
You ever play the old Games Workshop Rogue Trooper boardgame? Back from when GW hadn't been forced to come up with their own brands yet. It's fucking brilliant. Every player is a GI, starting with 1 or 2 of his 3 biochips. I got lucky and started with two, which I slotted into my gun and backpack. Everyone else only got one, so I had a nice advantage. Everyone except Colin slotted their chip into their gun; he put his into his helmet.
So, every GI has their own unique but random mission. Mine was to destroy a computer, which I could only do with a chip in my helmet. But it was possible to parley, trade or even fight with other GIs, however only when you're on the same space. So I traipsed all the way across the board to get to Colin so we can parley and swap missions.
Now, as is expected of Nu-Earth, the board is lethal as fuck. Pillboxes, mine-fields, all kinds of nasty shit. Most everyone has a slotted gun, so they're handy in a fight, but their resources were slim as fuck. So mostly they were going around the dangerous shit rather than use resources to deal with them. I had Bagman going, of course, so I was tooled as fuck, loads of every resource. Just blew up fucking everything on my path to Colin with plenty of munitions left over.
After about an hour of tearing through every obstacle to cross the board, I finally reach Colin. Awesome. I explain the situation, and tell him we need to swap missions.
He says no. He doesn't want to do the computer mission.
I point out that he's the only one with a chip in his helm, and is the only one who can destroy the computer. He still says no. So I make it clear to him; if he doesn't swap missions with him, the only way I'll be able to complete it is if I kill him, take his biochip off his corpse and jam it into my helmet, giving me a full set of gear.
Easton Reyes
Colin flees, knowing that with my chipped gun and massive stockpile of munitions he won't be able to stand a chance against me. I give chase, and the other players ask me what the fuck I'm doing. I tell them it's not personal, but I need a biochip in my helmet if I'm going to complete my mission, and I don't care which of them I have to kill to do it.
They all start fleeing, trying to kite me onto weaker players where possible. They now charge haphazardly through dangerous obstacles they previously avoided like the plague, knowing full-well that getting caught by me was much more dangerous with my superior firepower, equipment and total lack of lost hit-points.
Having basically become an actually-Rogue Trooper, I was having a fucking great time. But then everyone else decided to quit. Fucking pansies. Apparently they didn't like how I'd turned it into a PvP game. So I never got to actually catch up to one of them and kill them. But it was fucking great while it lasted, though I was annoyed that they blamed ME for "ruining the game" rather than Colin for not swapping missions with me. BAH.
I think Tharg would've been pleased though. I really livened things up, brought some real thrill-power to the game.
Logan Nguyen
Thanks, my thrill power had been low.
Henry Bailey
I played a bit of the Block War game and the Dredd rpg they put out was never able find a copy of the Rogue game though

>Rogue Trooper game What's this PS2 business, that's not from Sinclair is it? (oldfaggotry aside IIRC the Spectrum-era RT game was pretty bad)
Logan Wilson
There was a PS2/Xbox/PC game. It was pretty good, all things considered. It's a couple of quid on Steam, and worth a bash. About as faithful an adaptation as you could expect.
Cameron Nguyen
Holy shit, that actually sounds like it would be an amazing story. I'm honestly tempted to steal it and turn it into a script for Zarjaz or something. Fucking great stuff.
Nope, it's one of two (three if you count mobile) games that Rebellion did with the 2000AD license, the other one being Dredd vs Death. Rogue is actually the better game.
Benjamin Cook
I've read some stuff on his blog. Stuff like how he was happy his teacher was a brutal sadist because he could as well have gotten assigned to the pedo's class.

Why not finish the day with a storytime of the one that started it all?
Nolan Garcia
Kicking things off is Invasion! by Pat Mills and Jesus Blasco.
Levi Cruz
You're going to be seeing a lot of Mills in this prog, and rightfully so: he's the creator and first editor of 2000AD.
Alexander Sullivan
Mills was already a seasoned industry veteran by now and was coming off the cancellation of Action, which had been demonized as the press for being too violent, had been sanitized by editorial and ultimately died an ignonymous death.
Jose Young
Of course, this means that 2000AD was also under high scrutiny by media watchdogs and such, but Mills used the cover of sci-fi and the lessons he'd learned from Action to sneak past them.
Michael Ward
So for instance, one time he got a call from a journalist asking if the Volgans in Invasion were supposed to be russians. >No, they're Volgans. >Well, there is a river Volga in Russia. >Yes, but these are not Russians, they're Volgans. Says so right there on the page.
Caleb Walker
Good ol' Bill Savage would feature for the better part of the mag's 100 first progs, then come back for a prequel called Disaster!, after which he would be quietly shelved until being successfully reintroduced by Mills in the 2000s. His latest tale is set to start next week, drawn by Patrick Goddard.
Jordan Green
And speaking of stories that return next week, here's FLESH, by Pat Mills and Boix.

Brandon Jones
Of course, Mills knew he needed a strong selling point, and so he managed to get the rights to perennial british sci-fi icon Dan Dare, who had been flying the spaceways since the 50s. Written by Mills and Ken Armstrong, the strip had a secret weapon in the form of artist Massimo Bellardinelli, who would deliver a vision of Dan Dare that proved to be a bit too much for its time and character. Of note here too is the first of 2000AD's color spreads. Color being an expensive resource, it was originally reserved just for the cover, back and a big central spread, which was given to the prog's biggest strip.

And now, we get to meet THARG THE MIGHTY, Betelguesian editor of 2000AD! Whose mask was originally just a cheap ape mask painted green with a white wig, some make-up and a red phone dial stuck on its head. Likewise, Tharg's "space-ship" was supposedly hidden inside King's Reach Tower in London, now South Bank Tower, which in reality housed the offices of IPC Publishing. And 2000AD for the most part of its existence was like three or four desks in one corner of one office, later reduced to two in the 90s. Also, some dude called Judge Dread is coming apparently. Wonder what his deal is.
Carson Gutierrez
Bellardinellis Dan Dare was among his best work imo, they never let him be that creative again until Ace Trucking, and even then it was toned down
John Gomez
...
Liam Rodriguez
And now, M.A.C.H. 1, AKA Pat Mills' greatest nightmare. Written by him and drawn by Enio, M.A.C.H. 1 was an almost shameless copy of the Six Million Dollar Man, and didn't gel at all with the rest of the mag's more rebellious attitude. Which is why it mortified Mills to see it become one of their most popular strips in the early years.
Thanks! I'm guessing this is from the unpublished pilot issue?
Zachary Foster
Maaaaybe
Tyler Morris
God, yes. I'm so happy that hardcover came out because the dude's art is absolutely phenomenal. Fucking Biogs and Living Axes, shit's amazing.
Blake Wood
The very first time that "drokk" was ever uttered?
Camden Taylor
Hah, can't fool me, bud. After all, we got 'em from the same torrent!
Bentley Edwards
The pilots dare artist was shockingly awful
Camden Brown
bitch best believe it's hammertime wananana
Nathaniel Lee
Yes!
Yes! Not a knock on the guy, I'm sure his art was perfectly acceptable... in 1955. But it would've brought the prog down like a bag of bricks, especially coming off fucking Flesh.
Michael Gray
Wish there was more of the "pilot" issue available beyond the 6 pages + cover
James Cruz
...
Wyatt Campbell
So yeah, M.A.C.H. 1 was bland as drokk, and would remain bland as drokk for much of its existence until finally turning into an agent-on-the-run thriller and giving birth to a spinoff: M.A.C.H. Zero, the story of a prototype M.A.C.H. Man given even greater powers than Probe but with reduced mental capabilities as a result.
Charles Morris
And bringing up the rear is Harlem Heroes, by Tom Tully and Pat Mills and drawn by Dave Gibbons and Trigo.
Jonathan Diaz
Because, quite frankly, you couldn't have a comic in 70s England without some kind of sports strip. Hell, even Battle had The Team That Went To War.
James Sullivan
Of course, this being 2000AD, you can expect a few new twists on the concept. Like, say...
Jace Martinez
Having nearly the entire team die horribly in the first episode.
Ian Roberts
Always wondered why they just didnt move Death Game 1999 / Spinball over from Action
Nolan Long
But that just goes to show the only thing you can expect from the Galaxy's Greatest Comics is the unexpected! And Pat Mills writing like five different strips.
Levi Collins
Mills virtually never credited himself did he?
Kayden King
But there's still something missing from all this sci-fi explosion. Something... or someone...
For the first few years, nobody credited themselves. It was a sad reality of early british comic books that creators were made to either hide their involvement or use an alias, since publishers were scared of them being poached with better offers by rival magazines if they revealed their true names. Mind you, other creators just found it more comfortable to use aliases, but it wasn't even common practice to get any kind of credit until Kev O'Neill started putting up credits on all his strips.
Jayden Price
Yes, this is the "first" Judge Dredd strip, straight from prog 2, written by Peter Harris and drawn by Mick McMahon and Carlos Ezquerra. This is reprinted from the 1982 Dredd Annual, by the way.
Jace Hughes
As you can gleam from the fact that neither Wagner nor Mills are anywhere to be seen in this one, the history of early Dredd is kind of a mess. The story goes as follows: Mills wanted a future cop story to capitalize on Dirty Harry's popularity, and together with John Wagner they developed the character of Judge Dredd, taking the name from an old pirate character from Mills that never saw the light of day.
Kayden Cooper
The artist chosen for the job was Carlos Ezquerra, who had already worked for IPC on Battle and a few other comics. He was sent a production photo of David Carradine as Frankenstein from Death Race 2000 and given some basic instructions about the character (future supercop, rides on a bike, carries a big gun, etc) for him to design. The end result was so over the top that Wagner famously hated him, saying he looked like "a fucking spanish pirate" and there was no way he was writing it.
Parker Young
Now, Wagner had already written the script for one Dredd story, so Mills polished it up a little and sent it to Ezquerra, who put pencil and pen on paper and delivered a four-page story that has since passed into legend. Especially since it was never actually published in the progs because IPC deemed it far too violent, something that pissed Ezquerra off so much he too left the strip. So Mills had to act fast, leading to Judge Whitey, the strip that eventually became the first Dredd.
Jonathan King
>Harlem Heroes >GIANT
Judge Giant's father?
Dominic Myers
The one linking thread between Judge Whitey and the Wagner/Ezquerra lost strip is this image. According to Steve MacManus, arguably 2000AD's greatest editor, the original Ezquerra strip had a bunch of crazy buildings peppered across the background which caught Pat Mills' eye. He contacted Ezquerra and asked him to draw a big full page spread of Dredd riding across the city, which he would then put on the back cover of the prog as a color illustration. Ezquerra agreed and drew this absolute beast of an image. And when the story that preceded it was banned, Mills decided to staple it to Judge Whitey anyway, because seriously, have you looked at this shit? Imagine having this in your hands and NOT publishing it.
Easton Howard
But how bad was this original Ezquerra strip, really? Well, let's find out! The banned story finally saw the light of day in the Judge Dredd Annual 1981.
Joshua Sullivan
Yes! Giant himself even appeared in a later Dredd strip, congratulating his son on passing his judge exam.
Alexander Williams
As you can see, much of the strip wasn't even lettered before it got pulled.
Jaxson Scott
Imagine Tharg with Malcom McDowell's voice. You won't be disappointed.
Jaxon Cook
And this is probably the most interesting page of the strip in terms of prototype Dredd. Sentences used to be much stiffer, Dredd himself much more of a killer, and the original idea was that the judges would work as a corps of specially trained law keepers working in tandem with the regular police. This is one of those things that were quietly soft retconned within the strip once it found its footing.
Brayden King
Never ceases to mess with me how lean he is.
Blake Taylor
Rounding up this trip down memory lane, here's the first Judge Dredd design straight from Ezquerra's pen and a few bits of trivia about it: >The general stormtrooper look was taken both from Death Race 2000 and from various european fascist groups, most notably Franco's Spain and Mussolini's Italy >The eagle design was in fact taken from a spanish coin minted during the Franco regime >The uniform has a leg holster because Ezquerra reckoned it would be more comfortable when riding on a bike
Levi Hall
And the helmet was a mix of different things, most notably a medieval executioner's hood. The SS lightning glint though has been there since day one.
Jonathan Ward
And finally, here's another early Dredd design and the very first Lawmaster. Talk about getting it right the first time, huh?
Wyatt Hill
I'm glad they refined his helmet and epaulet design's but everything else is great.
Owen Sanders
So I'm new to 2000 AD and all I have is pic related, which I love. I want to check out some other series, but I'm not sure which ones. Any suggestions?
Henry Powell
Oh dear God. It was everything I hoped for and imagined.
Brody Williams
Some of the standard recs for classic material are: - Strontium Dog: Dredd's sister series, also created by John Wagner and Carlos Ezquerra. Much more of an oddball sci-fi western with a strong social undertone, it's about mutant bounty hunters fighting to survive in a world that hates the shit out of them. - Rogue Trooper: a regiment of clone soldiers gene-engineered to survive in the most poisonous of environments gets airdropped into the deadliest warzone in the history of future combat, but are double-crossed and butchered to a man. The sole survivor (and three biochips containing the minds of his buddies) goes AWOL to find the man who betrayed them. By Gerry Finlay-Day and Dave Gibbons. - ABC Warriors/Nemesis the Warlock/Slaine: Uncle Pat Mills knows best. Robot soldiers on Mars, alien sorcerers turned freedom fighters and celtic barbarians fighting monsters from beyond time and space. All of it tons of fun and gorgeously drawn by guys like Kevin O'Neill, Mick McMahon, Simon Bisley, etc. - The Ballad of Halo Jones: by Alan Moore and Ian Gibson, it's the story of an ordinary girl living on a floating New York slum called The Hoop in the year 4949. Funny, poignant, moving, horrifying and sadly truncated, it's still one of the most famous 80s 2000AD strips, and for good reason. Of course, there's a thousand more stories out there, and you can pretty much jump in at almost any issue, like, say, next week's!
Alright, time to head to bed. Splundig vur thrigg, Cred Forums!

How hard is it to obtain this and Megazine in American LCS stores? Do most stores carry it?
Ryder Jenkins
Most of them don't seem to carry them by default, but a lot are open to ordering them if you ask. Diamond distributes the prog in monthly 4-issue packs I think, but lots of LCSes just get it straight from the source.
Alexander Gray
How much more would I have to pay and how much delay would there be between issues? I'd be more than willing to wait an extra week or something with maybe a 3-4 dollar upcharge, but I'm not sure about paying, say, 10+ dollars an issue and waiting a month or two to get it.
Juan Hernandez
I think that depends a lot on the LCS. You'd probably be better off asking them. If all else fails, there's always digital. 2000AD have their own app for it and also Clickwheel (I think), and you can also get it from their webshop. They even use .cbz files.
