2000AD Prog 1568, issued on 8 January 2008, unleashes another high-energy burst of British science-fiction storytelling that epitomises the audacity and invention for which 2000AD is famed.
This bumper instalment opens with Judge Dredd patrolling the polluted megascape of Mega-City One at the turn of the new year. Faced with a street-crime surge triggered by a lethal new stim-drug, Dredd dispenses instant justice with his trademark steel-cold clarity, while the script slyly dissects the city’s corrosive class divide and media-fuelled paranoia. It is classic Dredd: taut, darkly satirical and packed with frenetic action set-pieces.
Fresh thrills continue across the rest of the anthology. A new chapter of Savage thrusts readers into a bleak, alternate-history Britain locked in guerilla warfare; visceral inks and grit-raw dialogue capture both the desperation and heroism of the resistance. Meanwhile, Strontium Dog returns for a short, punch-heavy interlude that pits mutant bounty-hunter Johnny Alpha against relic-raiders on a scorched frontier world—a perfect blend of space-Western swagger and laser-blazing chaos. Rounding out the prog, an eerie one-off from Future Shocks delivers a twist-in-the-tale reminder that nothing is ever quite as it seems in the pages of 2000AD.
Artistically, Prog 1568 is a showcase of contrasting styles that still feel unified: neon-lit dystopian skylines give way to smoke-filled trenches and then to far-flung cosmic badlands, each rendered with meticulous detail and kinetic panel layouts that keep the pace relentless. Vibrant palettes heighten tension one moment and plunge into noir shadows the next, ensuring the eye is never allowed to rest.
