Broken Frontier

The online home of the Galaxy’s Greatest Comic, 2000 AD^®, has undergone a dramatic transformation!

The legendary British anthology comic, due to celebrate its 35^th anniversary next year, has rebooted its website www.2000ADonline.com with new features, including:

• new digital versions of 2000 AD and the Judge Dredd Megazine available to buy
• brand new digital graphic novels – never available online before
• brand new news blog, bringing all the latest news, releases and deals from the House of Tharg
• share your favourite issues, characters and news with your friends thanks to Facebook ‘like’ and Twitter ‘share’ buttons
• new section detailing all the latest US graphic novels
• updated online shop where you can buy the latest 2000 AD comics, graphic novels and limited edition merchandise – everything from mugs and action figures to t-shirts and badges!

The redesign, topped with a brand new image from Judge Dredd artist Ben Willsher, is now live - providing a new home for 2000 AD fans to keep abreast of the title’s thrill-powered storytelling and breathtaking artwork from some of the biggest names in the industry.

This week also sees the launch of the exciting beta release of the brand new 2000 AD wiki database – an online repository of 35 years of thrill-power, editable by fans themselves! Specially selected site users will be able to give the wiki a test run before it is opened up to the wider online community within the next month.

Readers unable to get hold of a physical copy of 2000 AD or the Judge Dredd Megazine will now be able to buy digital versions* direct through the website, as well as new digital copies of collected editions, beginning with fan favourite - Geek-zapping space marines The VCs.

Matt Smith, editor of 2000 AD, said:

“With 2012 marking not only 2000 AD's 35^th anniversary but also the release of the eagerly anticipated Dredd movie, we felt 2000ADonline.com needed to be THE hub for all 2000 AD news. Virtually every week we have new announcements about upcoming stories, merchandise and top-name creators working for 2000 AD, and the sleekly redesigned site will make it easier to keep fans informed while also attracting new readers.

“US Earthlets will be regularly updated on the latest 2000 AD graphic novel releases on their side of the Atlantic, and with every new issue available to buy both as physical AND digital copies we're striving to reach as many potential readers as possible.”

2000 AD^® is Britain's longest running and most celebrated sci-fi comic, which has been at the cutting edge of contemporary pop culture since 1977. The 32 page, weekly anthology is a multi-award winning cocktail of explosive sci-fi and fantasy, infused with a mean streak of irony and wry black humour.

Giving birth to iconic characters such as Judge Dredd, Halo Jones, Strontium Dog and Rogue Trooper, the imaginative blend of hard-hitting stories and eye-popping art have made 2000 AD essential reading for its legion of fiercely loyal fans for more than 30 years – launching the careers of some of the top names in global comics, including Alan Moore, Mark Millar, Grant Morrison, Brian Bolland, Steve Dillon, Jock, and Peter Milligan.

2000 AD, its monthly sister publication The Judge Dredd Megazine, and its extensive range of collected graphic novels are available to buy online, from all major magazine retailers across the UK and Europe and from all good comic stores across the US.
