2000 AD Prog 2462 Is Out Now
ATTENTION, EARTHLETS – 2000 AD Prog 2462 is OUT NOW!
Call me The Mighty Tharg, all-powerful alien editor in charge of this brain-warping weekly!
Welcome, Terrans, to the last regular prog of 2025 as we batten down the Command Module hatches, spool up the Thrill-transference confabulator, and prepare for the emergence of this year’s Xmas extravaganza next week.
Longterm Squaxx will know the drill by now — every year since 1999 we’ve celebrated the festive season with a 100-page blow-out, and Prog 2463 will be no exception, with the usual mix of new stories and special one-offs. Alongside the scrotnig double-length finale to Rogue Trooper epic Ghost Patrol, you can find the opening instalments of both Peter Milligan & Kieran McKeown’s SF prison thriller The Discarded and the second full-length series of David Barnett & Lee Milmore’s folk horror Herne & Shuck, plus complete tales for Dredd, Azimuth, Hawk the Slayer, Strontium Dog and Young Death!
It’s a zarjaz package designed to see you through the holidays until I return in January — and coupled with the 2026 2000 AD annual plus assorted GN collections, you won’t want to leave the house, humes!
2000 AD Prog 2462 is out now from all good newsagents and comic book stores, plus digitally from our webshop and apps! Don’t forget that if you buy an issue of 2000 AD in the first week of its release then postage in the UK is free!
