2000AD Prog 2247 (Rebellion)

 























The latest issue of 2000AD popped through my letterbox this morning slightly delayed by the Bank Holiday weekend but well worth the wait especially as there are three new stories starting this week.










Judge Dredd stars in a new multi-part dark adventure The House On Bleaker Street with suitably creepy artwork from Nick Percival. A group of kidnappers lead Dredd and a new Judge into a long abandoned building with a reputation. Is it true that no one who goes in ever comes out?

There's a promising episode of Tharg's 3rillers entitled The Mask Of Laverna. Magic, ancient Olympian Gods and murder. What powers does this mask bring a Russian gangster and can he be stopped?











The Final new adventure hails from the world of Nu Earth in Jagir: The Path Of Kali in which a bar fight leads to an search for the one survivor of a Norther attack on a Souther base. Just what threat is rising once again?











Plus of course the latest parts of the excellent Skip Tracer and the so-so story of Dexter, formerly of Sinister and Dexter as the AI tracks down our anti-hero.

This is probably the nearest you'll get to a jumping on issue for a while. The "Regened" editions have replaced those for now though according to John Freeman on his excellent website Down The Tubes Rebellion are seemingly heading towards separating the brands. Could this mean a regular more "junior" version of our favourite prog?
