The publishers of 2000AD have once again treated readers to an oversized edition of 2000AD with one of their all-ages "Regened issues! Tis contains five complete stories and starts off with the very young Cadet Dredd in Suboptimal that sees him involved in a search for a missing child that takes them to the ruins of the city left over from the Atomic Wars that radically changed the world.
Here they find their missing child alright as the Judges are taken prisoner by a mad computer that needs consumers. An excellent tale by Arthur Wyatt with great art from Davide Tinto. Sadly for me the following story Action Pact was a bit of a let down.
However the pace is soon taken up by the rather entertaining Viva Forever by Daivid Baille with art from Anna Morozova which a thief is terrorising rich billionaires with her daring robberies and even has a fan base. The story takes place at a good pace and the reveal is worth waiting for. Someone who would make an excellent femme fatale for Judge Dredd methinks! So long as he never gets to put her in a cube!
There's one of Thargs future shocks Geeno Firenzo's Big Comeback which wasn't the best I've read but certainly the last strip was worth waiting for.
Mayflies: Precious Cargo is set in the world of Rogue trooper and is an origin story for an epic around a group of genetically modified troopers who escape to to make their own destiny. A great new series in the making.
