2000 AD Prog 2476 - The First Bumper Issue of 2026!

2000 AD Prog 2476 is the first bumper-sized issue of 2026, and it's packed with enough thrills to overload even the most seasoned Thrill-seeker. This extra-length prog kicks off a brand-new Judge Dredd story — Flames and White Phosphorous by T.C. Eglington & Paul Marshall. It also features the double-length opener to Ian Edginton & D'Israeli's steampunk aerial drama Helium: Red October. Picking up where Scorched Earth (Prog 2351–2363) left off, Hodge and Sol find themselves blackmailed into returning to Ris, the city beneath the Poison Belt.

Rounding things out are two complete, standalone tales. There's a one-off Rogue Trooper from Andi Ewington & Karl Richardson, and the latest instalment of Brink. Plus a special Red Dragon epilogue from Rob Williams, Steve Yeowell & Patrick Goddard.
