Preview: 2000 AD Prog 2424
2000 AD Prog 2424 features only four stories this week, as there is a double instalment of Full Tilt Boogie. However, it still offers plenty of thrills and excitement.
The events are building toward a climax for both Full Tilt Boogie and Judge Dredd next week, while Portals & Black Goo is racing toward its finale.
This issue also includes the first instalment of an occasional series titled Nu Earth War Tales. This series will not always focus on the blue-skinned clone-soldier but will highlight various other characters involved in this planet-wide war. This week, Gordon Rennie and Mike Walters collaborate on a story titled Overwatch.
