Rebellion Releases — 2 July 2025

Our new trilogy of Definitive Editions continues this December, as we celebrate one of 2000 AD’s most enduring and loved characters – Sláine!

Sláine Mac Roth of the Sessair tribe is known as the Warped Warrior – a mighty barbarian who can master the ‘warp-spasm’, harnessing the power of the Earth to transform into a monstrous creature. Accompanied by his dwarf sidekick, Ukko, and wielding his legendary axe Brain-biter, he travels Tir-Nan-Og, a land marred by warring tribes and ruled by merciless gods.

Created by Pat Mills and Angie Kincaid, Sláine: The Definitive Edition collects the complete series in order, and includes original covers from the full run. Volume 2 of the series finds Mills joined by artists Massimo Belardinelli, Glenn Fabry, David Pugh and Bryan Talbot as the woad warrior takes part in the Battle of Clontarf and heads down into the Tomb of Terror!

Tir-Nan-Og (the ‘Land of the Young’) is a violent world, home to warring tribes who worship gods both benign and malevolent. One such tribe is the Sessair, brave warriors of enormous skill and the best of them is a young barbarian named Sláine Mac Roth. Sláine is, among other things, a master of the ‘warp-spasm’ channeling the mystical power of the Earth through his body to become a mighty, monstrous berserker!

The adventures of Sláine Mac Roth continue in the second volume of the Definitive series, collecting the complete story in order. With character-defining arcs such as The Time Killer and The Tomb of Terror, this volume sees the exiled barbarian facing new trials and tribulations – including a trip through time which will have dangerous repurcussions for everyone on Earth!

Showcasing Pat Mills’s epic storytelling alongside the art of Glenn Fabry (Hellblazer, Swamp Thing), Bryan Talbot (The Adventures of Luther Arkwright), and David Pugh (Dan Dare), this is another unmissable entry for fans and new readers alike.

Available in standard paperback or as a limited embossed hardcover edition, volume 2 of the trilogy will be available from the 2000 AD webshop and comic shops through Diamond Distribution.

The Definitive Sláine Volume 2 is available for pre-order (paperback — hardback) now, and will be on shelves December 2025!
