The brand new graphic novel series from the legendary comics publisher began with a bang – going to reprint two weeks before publication and hitting #3 on the list of the UK’s best-selling graphic novels – and the volume two raises the bar still further with another 200 pages of pulse-pounding Thrill-power!
Featuring a brand new cover for the retail edition by Becky Cloonan (Gotham Academy, Punisher) and an exclusive cover for the 2000 AD webshop by The Walking Dead artist Charlie Adlard, as well as design by renowned comics designer Tom Muller (X-Men), Best of 2000 AD is the essential gateway into the Galaxy’s Greatest Comic for a new generation of readers!
Every volume contains a mix of modern classics and gems from the vault. In each edition you’ll find an explosive new Judge Dredd adventure, fresh essays by prominent popular culture writers, a graphic novel-length feature presentation by global legends and a vintage Dredd case.
In this volume: Judge Dredd hunts untraceable assassins firing ‘Magic Bullets’ by Al Ewing (Immortal Hulk) and Colin Wilson (Blueberry); even robots get the ‘Red Planet Blues’ from Alan Moore (Watchmen), Steve Dillon (Preacher) and John Higgins (Judge Dredd); not even Mega City One’s brightest can escape ‘The Vampire Effect’ by John Wagner (A History of Violence), Alan Grant (Batman) and Mick McMahon (The Last American); and join the front line of the resistance against intergalactic bigots in the Gothic masterpiece Nemesis The Warlock by the creative team behind Marshal Law, Pat Mills and Kevin O’Neill!
