Comic Book Review - 2000 AD Prog 2259

Rob reviews 2000 AD Prog 2259...

It's that time of the week where I venture into the Thrillverse to look at this week's 2000 AD Prog. 

This week sees the return of everyone's favorite Klegg as Rob Williams and Chris Weston team-up for a Dredd tale like no other. Backing Sensitive Klegg on this musical journey is the latest from The Out, The Diaboliks, Dexter, and Scarlet Traces.

Judge Dredd: The Musical - Part 1

I'm not going to lie, I've been anticipating this one since Rob Williams teased the story a few months back on Twitter. Not only for the reason that's it's going to be all kinds of crazy, but it's being drawn by Chris Weston! 

Sensitive Klegg is also back, and the character has had a change of career since we last saw him. Turns out that he's been hanging out in Sino-Cit and has become quite the star. Now back in the Meg, Klegg is talked into creating a musical about Judge Dredd. 

On paper this story does sound absolutely bonkers. Yet knowing that both Williams and Weston are behind it, it'a not only going to be great, it's gonna look amazing too. Here's hoping we get to see the musical play out! 

The Diaboliks: London Calling - Part 3

Solomon says goodbye to London this week as he's sent back in time to 1945. To make matters worse he find himself in Berlin. Why? Well he doesn't really know, but he has been keeping a few secrets. But how many? 

It's all coming together nicely as Gordon Rennie adds a few twists to the Ex Canabalistics INC team. Dom Readon continues to hit that sweet spot with some superb art that captures this tale of demons perfectly. 

Dexter: Bulletopia Chapter 7: Lordy Jordy King of Everything - Part 2

After narrowly escaping longtime partner and AI controlled Sinster, Dexter and crew continue their journey against the Rogue AI. Things take a snag this week (as they frequently do) as Lordy Jordy introduces a few of his pets. 

Yes! The old Russian bunker if full of Dinosaurs! Well it's definitely different...

Anyway, SinDex continues to read like a popcorn munching movie. It's best if you let everything wash over you and just enjoy the action. 

Scarlet Traces: Storm Front - Part 9

Ahron meets the true beings behind the "Martians" as he takes a little dive into one's mind. With the Jovians still continuing their assault, Ahron doesn't have long to save what's left of the Martians, and we'll everyone else...

Something different this week as we finally see who the Martians once were. Everything feels like it's beginning to wind up as Ahron attempts to broker peace between these beings. D'Israeli bathes everything against a white backdrop as Edgington begins to draw this tale to a deserved conclusion.

The Out: Book 2 - Part 9

Cyd's journey comes full circle this week as she finally gets some answers as Abnett finally brings Cyd's daughter into proceedings. It's great to see Cyd get some sort of closure as she attempts to reconnect with her daughter. However, in true Out fashion things soon get mixed up as a certain all-conquering enemy returns...

Oh my! Just when you think you've got a happy ending, Dan Abnett throws an almighty clanger into the works. The Out is about to get much more interesting and I can not wait to see what happens!
