The latest Prog release, 2000 AD Prog 2392, features the Judge Dredd saga "Machine Rule" by the acclaimed John Wagner and Colin MacNeil. This story revisits the controversial Mechanismo project, where a pressing question arises - what happens if they decide they are superior to their human counterparts?

Launching in this issue is the first full series of Herne & Shuck by David Barnett and Lee Milmore. This series follows their adventures in the previous 3rillers in Progs 2297-2299 and 2343-2345 as they continue their quest to secure a haven for young Carys while evading various folk-horror adversaries.

Additionally, there is a new Future Shock by James Peaty and Andrea Mutti, along with Brink and Silver.
