Hoagy's all muscly and evil, Cutie (a tiny robot that's basically metal breasts and orifices) magically reforms herself (after having died in 1979, on another planet) because she feels like it (that's the literal explanation) and then Sam and her snog, but his voiceover mysoginistically complains about ugly girls being easy. The writer casts himself as a second Robo-Hunter (that, far in the future, watches MTV and listens to music from 1991).

You may well see or hear about test volumes appear in newsagents in certain parts of the country over the next month. These tests are being done to see if a series would work and, if the test is successful, there'll be a big national launch at a later date - just like there was with the Mega Collection. Thanks to Tharg, 2000 AD has built up it’s own unique lingo over the years. Most of it is used by Tharg, although some of it makes its way into marketing material too.Has the same title as the earlier story from Prog "2000". According to the book's In Detail section, "Morrison has no idea what happened there, and blames it on forgetfulness on the part of writer and editor"

No. Unlike Marvel or DC, not every 2000 AD comic is part of a shared universe. Most series are their own thing, without any connection to anything else. The one thing that is always constant is Judge Dredd. It will always be present in each prog, traditionally opening the anthology.For a "one-and-done" of its era it is probably one of the stronger ones but it does feel a little dated by modern standards. Pretty well paced with an interesting array of characters. Fortunately it is of a time when Tooth was starting to wake up to the changing sensibilities of its readership. Although there is still an element of 'juvenilia' about it as a story in what was ostensibly a "kids comic", there is also a growing maturity to it.

In the UK, Ireland, and some other places, 2000 AD can be found weekly in all good comic book stores.Over the past 45 years, 2000 AD has been a vital comic anthology in the English-speaking world. It’s home to iconic characters, such as Judge Dredd, and has been a breeding ground for celebrated writers and artists. This guide is part of 45 Year Of Thrills, How to Love Comics’ celebration of 2000 AD’s 45th anniversary throughout 2022. Find out more and read other posts in the series here. There's still a lot of good Dredd to collect - you could have several Niemand volumes, for starters. What else? Thistlebone? Feral and Foe? The Out? ( Whisper it - Skip Tracer?) I'd personally love a book of 3rillers. I think it's a fairly safe bet we'll get continuations of series where we're a book or 2 short of having complete(ish) runs: ABC Warriors, Absalom, Strontium Dog, Dominion, Fall Of Deadworld.
