War is Declared! 2000 AD and Judge Dredd Megazine Cross Over For “Nordland Rising”
This September, the Nort Army are setting out to conquer the 2000 AD Multiverse – and it’s going to take some unlikely allies to stop them!
The massive crossover event story Nordland Rising will see Rogue Trooper’s oldest enemies invade multiple different storylines from across 2000 AD’s history, as they take on Judge Dredd, Bad Company, Fiends of the Eastern Front, The VCs and more. Spread across 2000 AD Prog 2400 and Judge Dredd Megazine 472, this is an all-out action assault – and The Norts aren’t taking any prisoners!
Featuring stories from Ken Niemand, John McCrea, Peter Milligan, Ian Edginton, Nick Percival, Dan Abnett, Gordon Rennie, Simon Coleby, and more, Nordland Rising will see the return of familiar faces including Jaegir and Major Eazy as the War begins in 2000 AD and then crosses over for the epic climax in Judge Dredd Megazine. With both issues out on the 18th September, readers will be able to read the whole saga in one go – a veritable overdose of Thrill-power!
This is a great way to jump onboard 2000 AD for the first time and get a blast of action from some of The Galaxy’s Greatest writers and artists. Easily accessible for new readers – but packed with surprises for long-term fans – the crossover will then be followed by 2000 AD Prog 2401: a jump-on issue featuring the return of Garth Ennis and Patrick Goddard on Rogue Trooper; the follow up to Judge Dredd: A Better World from Rob Williams, Arthur Wyatt, and Jake Lynch, and the return of fan-favourite series The Out for an all-new run!
It’s never been a better time to become a regular reader of 2000 AD – or as we call it, a “Squaxx dek Thargo”! That is… assuming we escape The Norts in one piece…
Nordland Rising will begin in 2000 AD 2400 on the 18th September, and conclude the same day in Judge Dredd Megazine 472. Make sure to grab both halves of the story, Earthlets!

Review: John Carpenter’s Tales of Science Fiction: Vault #1 of 3
When the moon-bound crew of Gaia stumbles across an enormous alien vessel, more technologically advanced than their own, priorities change. The mystery deepens when the crew discovers the name of the vessel along the hull… written in English: Vault.
John Carpenter’s Tales of Science Fiction: Vault #1 kicks of the brand new science fiction anthology series from Storm King Productions. Out in July, the first issue has a solid mix of the sci-fi space classics taking its queues from Alien(s), Event Horizon, and more building an atmosphere and experience that’s tense and just downright creep.
Written by James Ninness, the comic itself follows a familiar story of a crew coming across another ship and exploring it happening upon the horrors within. This first issue sets things up in a way that even though the experience feels familiar, the specifics stand out as unique blending in horror aspects along with the sci-fi setting. But, what’s most impressive is, I had no idea where the first issue was going and where it’ll all go from here. Where I expect something to zig it zags and leaves me wondering what’s next.
The art by Andres Esparza with colors by Sergio Martínez help creates a creepy atmosphere. But, what I particularly like about Esparza and Martínez’s art is that while the story is science fiction, their art also plays into the horror aspects of the comic and excellently plays into both aspects and does so really well.
Overall, a solid first issue that scratches an itch I have for this type of story. It’s one I really enjoy and the fact Ninness and the team have balanced what feels like a horror story in a sci-fi setting so well is impressive and has me excited to see what’s next. While using familiar tropes and experiences, we’ve got something that draws us in and keeps us off balance in the right way.
