Nope. @2000ad.bsky.social is a british comic publisher much in the same way that DC and MARVEL are American ones. 2000AD has its own whole cast of heroes and characters. Judge Dredd is probably the most well known, and deservedly so, but ROGUE TROOPER was always also a fav.
Can't wait for this! Need ABC warriors and Bad Company too
I seem to remember James Gunn saying one of the reasons they changed Drax to have gray skin instead of green was because some folks would absolutely make (false) connections between him and Gamora. At least they were from the same publisher. π
I subscribed for years. I had a couple of hundred progs from mid 50s and managed to track down some earlier ones. iirc #17 was the earliest I had. I gave them all away to the local hospital kids ward when I moved from Yorkshire in 84.
Did you ever read any of the other ones Duncan? Like Eagle?
Dreddverse is only doable as a TV show now unfortunately I would love to see Harlem Heroes, Chopper, Nikolai Dante, ABC Warriors, Johnny Alpha, Sinister & Dexter appear on screen in some form. Oh and DR & Quinch π
The sheer amount of stuff in 2000 AD over the years is just staggering. So many amazing characters and storylines.
I remember going weekly to my local comic shop to check if my copy 2000AD was in yet. Those were the salad days of youth.
Shout out for Halo Jones
Lest we forget Starlord with Strontium Dog & Ro-Busters
I loved reading Dredd, Dan Dare, etc.
What about Raven on the Wing?
I loved Strontium Dog n Red. Was always confused by Torquemada
Is it approved by the Blue Man Group?
Slaine!
I've got a nice stack of hardcover Strontium Dog reprints myself
