2000 AD Prog 2462 Preview: The Final Regular Prog of 2025
2000 AD Prog 2462 marks the final regular issue of 2025, delivering one last burst of thrills before the festive blow-out of Prog 2463. Before we reach the final 2025 issue, though, Prog 2462 is absolutely packed with the quality you'd expect. There's the finale to Judge Dredd: Messengers. A double-length Rogue Trooper ahead of its epic double-length finale - that's right, back-to-back double issues to end things! There's the second part of Deadtown that started last week, and a Future Shocks. What a way to end things before the big celebration issue.
