The Pull List: 2000AD (Mon 24th August 2015)
2000AD Releases: Monday 24th August 2015
Each week, we take a look at the forthcoming titles available in stores, giving you a comprehensive guide to your comics pull list.
This week, 2000AD bring it down hard with an incredibly strong Prog issue with stories from Rob Williams and Henry Flint, Ian Edington, Gordon Rennie, Emma Beeby, D’Israeli and Dan Abnett, with many more; and Gordon Rennie and Leigh Gallagher‘s Aquila reaches its fifth explosive climax with some of its most gruesome and epic scenes yet.
You can pick them up in your local sequential printed periodical haberdashery or on t’interwebs, all in glorious DRM-free formats, on the 2000AD webshop (silly bloody name, I’m picturing fridge magnets by the exit…) or on the apps for iOS and Android.
There is also news of four Graphic Novel releases hitting the shelves in the next few months, with Judge Dredd getting two of his most epic storylines receiving the American compilation treatment, and the Rennie/Coleby Rogue Trooper companion Jaegir: The Beasts Within and the first collected volume of fan favourites Ro-Busters, The Complete Nuts And Bolts, also out to buy. We’ve included these previews below, because we’re nice like that – from next week, just the weekly titles, we’ll give graphic novel releases their own posts…

“Legendary Judge Dredd-co-creator John Wagner has written the longest, most eventful and world-shattering Dredd-epic of his career. Mega-City One has seen nothing like this since the Apocalypse War, and this time things are looking even darker. With the much-loved mayor of Mega-City One presumed dead by the citizens, an election has been scheduled to choose his successor. Cadet Judge Hennessey has predicted that something terrible will happen on the Election Day and she may be right. East-Meg assassin Nadia has arrived in the Big Meg, looking for a scientist who has created a very dangerous virus… This is the first of three volumes chronicling Day of Chaos.“
