Preview: 2000 AD Prog 2340
A new Thrill joins the line-up this prog - as John Tomlinson collaborates with The Alienist artist Eoin Coveney for the comedy-horror Portals & Black Goo, which follows the travails of Devouroo delivery drone Kroy Plemons as he serves the creatures of the night that live amongst the regular Londoners. Expect vampires, demons, and something nasty living in a lift!
Elsewhere, we have the pulse-pounding finale to the current Dredd thriller In the Event of My Untimely Demise and a complete Future Shock by Geoffrey D. Wessel and Russell M. Olson - who you'd have heard us mention before, particularly with his excellent Gateway City books, so we're looking forward to this one.
Plus, there are the latest instalments of Void Runners and Azimuth.

NEW THRILL! London, 2023. Amongst the regular people living in the capital, there are also denizens of the dark — creatures of myth and legend that have embedded themselves in society. Vampires, werewolves, demons — they're part of the population now (and more often than not are the victims of prejudice and discrimination). They also have their own particular diets, which is where Devouroo comes in...

The far future. The multiple planetary systems collectively known as the Federation are controlled by entities called the Ankorites, who rely on the drug Kali's Dust to stimulate their visions.

Welcome to the city of AZIMUTH, a data-driven metropolis, where anything is possible. Ruled by an aristocracy of the New Flesh, such concepts of life, death, and body-forms are fluid.
