Comics - 2000AD, up to date in 2008
2000AD has been going for over 30 years now, and has probably been the main impetus behind a lot of people's love of comics and British comics professional's careers over the years. It is undoubtedly an institution.
For those who haven't read the 'prog' for a while now, there has been a steady increase in quality from it's underperfoming 'slacker' years in the nineties. It now boasts an incredible array of artists, along with a mix of the best of the old and as well as new writers.
If you haven't read 2000AD, or even picked up a comic for a while now, then it's a good time to dip your toe in the water. 2000AD is still available in your anologue newsagents of course, but now you can buy it as a downloadable PDF for your computer and read it at home or work (lunchbreaks only of course). This service has started with the end of year bumper 'Prog 2008' and continues weekly.
2000AD currently has an exceptional line up with John Wagner and Colin McNeill on Judge Dredd in a multi-layered story which features the mutants right issue, murdering Mayor of Mega City One - PJ Maybe and daughter of America - Judge Beeny.
John Wagner also teams up with Carlos Ezquerra for further tales of the Strontium Dog bounty hunters and is set in the classic Johnny & Wulf era.
Stickleback is a Victorian East End mastermind in the classic British comics mould and wouldn't shame the company of the likes of Janus Stark or Cursitor Doom. Created by the best double act in comics today, Edgington and D'Isreali.
Shakara is a mysterious revenge bent force of nature, battling eye-boggling sci-fi monstrosities courtesy of top 20000AD artist Henry Flint and writer Robbie Morrison.
Kingdom, on its second series, follows Gene the Hackman, a sympathetic (yet tough) genetically modified man/dog hybrid created to defend his mysterious masters against perverse biological horrors. Kingdom is brought to you by Dan Abnett and Richard Elson.
The comic is having a spectacular run at the moment, so for £1.50 a week why not than cheer up your January with a visit to http://www.clickwheel.net/ for your weekly dose of Thrillpower.
