2000 AD Prog 2472 Preview - Brink Returns for Its Most Epic Arc Yet

2000 AD Prog 2472 lands with a lunar‑sized bang this week as Brink returns for its seventh book. Brink is one of my favourite series, so love this. Bridget Kurtis is already on the moon investigating the mysterious Mercury Event. Dan Abnett and INJ Culbard are back guiding readers through their seventh book of the police procedural/Lovecraftian smash hit, which promises to be the most epic arc yet.

Elsewhere within these pulse-pounding pages, you'll find the penultimate part of Herne & Shuck's Power Trip, plus the second instalment of Judge Dredd: Climate Crisis. Plus, the latest chapter in prison drama The Discarded.

• RELEASE DATE: 4th March £3.99.
• COVER: INJ CULBARD.
