Thrill-Power Extra – Prog #1645 Solicitation
 |
As part of Thrill-Power Thursday I intended to take a look at the current week’s Prog, and do a sort of featurette/review. As I am in North America, I am not able to go to the store and just pick up this week’s issue, as the North American releases always lag a few weeks behind on the UK releases. Instead, I intend to post a solicitation of the weekly prog, then at a later date I shall do selected reviews of complete story runs which have recently appeared in the magazine.
For reviews of the individual progs, I refer readers to the excellent website 2000 AD Review, where every weekend after the release of the weekly prog, a crack team of reviewers breaks down each issue and rates and reviews it. Therefore, there is no point me doing the same, as these guys have been doing it a looooong time!
This week in 2000 AD:
- 2000 AD prog #1644 was released in shops across the UK last Wednesday, and is available to buy in PDF format from Clickwheel right now!
- Check out what the guys at 2000 AD Review thought of it!
- 2000 AD prog #1645 was released in shops across the UK this Wednesday, and should be available to buy from Clickwheel this weekend!
- There were no progs released in North America this week, but head on over to Clickwheel to get the latest digital issue!
Notes: All of last week’s strips continue, with the exception of CradleGrave, which concluded in prog #1643. In its place we get a Terror Tale, which is basically a Future Shock with more horror!
This prog’s cover is by Anthony Williams, and accompanies Sinister Dexter.

Mega-City One, 2131 AD. This vast urban nightmare is situated along the eastern coast of post-apocalyptic North America, with the irradiated wasteland known as the Cursed Earth to the west and the polluted Black Atlantic to the east. Home to 400 million citizens, crammed into gigantic citi-blocks, overcrowding is rife, unemployment endemic and boredom universal. Tensions run a constant knife-edge, and crime is rampant. Only the Judges can prevent total anarchy. Empowered to dispense instant justice, these future lawmen are judge, jury and executioner. Toughest of them all is JUDGE DREDD – he is the Law!
