New series start this issue – first up we have the much-anticipated second arc of Dreadnoughts, courtesy of regular creators Mike Carroll and John Higgins, rewinding to the early days of Justice Department in the mid twenty-first century. Secondly, those originators of the Judge Dredd universe itself, John Wagner and Carlos Ezquerra, are back with Spector, a creator-owned robot-detective drama. Many of you will be aware that this was the series Carlos was working on when he sadly died in 2018, and only the first two episodes were completed (published in the 2019 2000 AD Sci-Fi Special). John decided to carry on writing the story, and Dan Cornwell will be taking over on art from part three onwards. Also new is the Anderson, Psi-Division mini-series ‘The King of the Six Sectors’, which acts as a sequel to ‘Year One’, while both Mega-City Two and the current Devlin Waugh adventure come to a close. Elsewhere, we catch up with Devlin artist Rob Richardson, chat a life in comics with Dave Gibbons, and preview this year’s 2000 AD Free Comic Book Day special, which you’ll be able to pick up from participating stores on 5 May.
