Rebellion Releases (2000AD)

This week's releases from Rebellion Publishing include the long-awaited Smash! Special 2020, featuring seven new adventures starring some of the most popular of British superheroes. This 64 page special includes new adventures for The Spider, Thunderbolt the Avenger, Johnny Future, The Steel Claw, Mytek the Mighty, Cursitor Doom, Jason Hyde and the puppets of The House of Dolmann.

These fantastic action-packed tales come from the pens of some of the UK's finest creators, including artists Charlie Adlard, Chris Weston and John McCrea, with stories by Rob Williams, Simon Furman and newcomer (at least to comics) Charlie Higson.

Also out this week is 2000AD’s second all-ages “Regened” special is set to return with a brand new collection of strips for readers old and new.

This bumper 52-page issue features the all new adventures of Cadet Dredd, Finder & Keeper, Anderson, Psi Division, Future Shocks and Strontium Dog from creators such as Davide Tinto (Marvel Action: Spider-Man), Cavan Scott (Doctor Who), Laura Bailey (Demarco), Andrea Mutti (Port of Earth) and many more!

Behind a brand-new Cadet Dredd cover by the legendary 2000 AD cover veteran Cliff Robinson, with colours by Dylan Teague, the all-new self-contained strips introduce readers old and new to some quality quarantine comics featuring some of 2000 AD’s greatest characters.

This is the second of four issues of 2000 AD Regened scheduled for 2020. 2000 AD remains committed to encouraging readers of all ages to dive into the legendary British weekly, and “Regened” acts as a gateway into both 2000 AD and comics in general, with readers of all ages enjoying the heady mix of 2000 AD action, humour, and fun.

Priced at £2.99, 2000 AD Prog 2183 will be available from all good retailers, as well as digitally from 2000 AD’s webshop and apps.
