After last week's galaxy-shaking events with the Nordland Rising crossover, 2000 AD Prog 2401 is ready to thrill you once again with more excitement in the shape of the all-new lineup starting this prog!

Brink continues because that's not finished yet, and they wouldn't do that to you. But in "newness", the fourth book of the popular series "The Out" by Abnett and Harrison is here! There's a new Rogue Trooper, "When a G.I Dies" by Garth Ennis and Patrick Goddard, who previously collaborated on the excellent "Blighty Valley" story. Additionally, "Judge Dredd: Silence" kicks off, which furthers the story "A Better World" from 2000 AD issues #2364-2372.

Furthermore, the creators Kek-W and John Burns have teamed up for a new historical horror series titled "Nightmare New York." Unfortunately, this represents John Burns' last piece of work as he retired due to poor health and passed away at the end of 2023. It's a poignant moment to recognize the final pages of a comics master and his exceptional talent.

The furthest edge of the universe.

NEW THRILL! Lower Manhattan, 1845. Paradise Square is at the centre of Five Points in Old New York, where five street corners meet.
