Time for a reload! The ultimate 2000 AD mix-tape returns this Free Comic Book Day for a new collection of The Best of 2000 AD celebrating the past, present, and future of The Galaxy’s Greatest Comic!
Taking place annually every May, Free Comic Book Day is an international event which finds participating comic shops giving away comic books from all the top publishers today – absolutely free! It’s not only a way to champion comics and find new readers, but a way to help support local comic book stores.
Featuring a new cover from all-powerful artist Hayden Sherman (Absolute Wonder Woman), next year The Best of 2000 AD will once again blast backwards and forwards through the timeline to deliver Thrill-Power straight to your cerebral cortex! If you love comics, ask your local retailer to order copies of Best of 2000 AD for May – it’s perfect for first-time readers!
If you’ve always wanted to try out 2000 AD for the first time, this issue will feature titanic action and classic characters including Judge Dredd, Rogue Trooper, Judge Anderson, and more!
First up, Judge Dredd has to endure an all-out assault as he’s attacked on all sides – but why is everyone in Mega-City One gunning for the Lawman of the Future? In a classic story from superstar artist Jock (Wytches) and Dredd’s co-creator John Wagner, be careful when you’re Crossing Ken Dodd…
Next, Alex de Campi (Parasocial) and Silvia Califano (Star Trek) team up for a new story featuring Psi-Judge Anderson, celebrating 45 years since she first hit the streets of Mega-City One. Expect a high-stakes journey across the astral plane as Anderson comes face to face with cosmic horror...
Then, we have a classic Rogue Trooper Thriller from Peter Milligan (Hellblazer) and master artist José Ortiz which is guaranteed to get you fanatical! With Duncan Jones’ Rogue Trooper feature film on the horizon, we’ve dived into the archives for a story which finds Rogue taking the fight straight to the Nort Army…
And finally we have a first for The Best of 2000 AD – a glimpse into the actual future, as Ian Edginton and D’Israeli (War of the Worlds) present a new volume of their acclaimed Scarlet Traces… before the series debuts in the weekly 2000 AD later in 2025! Face the future, Earthlets, as a war of the worlds leads humanity into a new age of warfare…
Make sure you head to your local comic book store on 4th May 2025 and pick up your copy of The Best of 2000 AD, Earthlets – you’ll never be the same again!
