No. Unlike Marvel or DC, not every 2000 AD comic is part of a shared universe. Most series are their own thing, without any connection to anything else. It might suffer from comparisons with the likes of Mazeworld and Kingdom for that reason. That is a little unfair in some respects. If you enjoy your SciFi with loads of bizarre creatures, galaxy-spanning plots and a dash of fantasy though, you can't go wrong.

In the UK, Ireland, and some other places, 2000 AD can be found weekly in all good comic book stores. Judge Dredd has been running almost as long as 2000 AD, with character appearing in Prog 2 and almost every subsequent prog since. That’s a lot of stories! So this Savage is just going to be Taking Liberties, no incorporating The Guv'nor as well. I was hoping we would get some of the stuff that was released after those two trades. Its obvious that there's more as noted on Wikipedia.

There's lots of shooting and yelling, forests made of decomposing body parts and another theme park. A murderous Cutie, who can fly now (and always presents as a blonde babe in a red swimsuit), is ripped apart by an cyborg in a comfy sweater, who earlier seemed to have been murdered by being impaled with a golf club (by a gay insectoid S&M fashionista). There will be six volumes in total, with the third releasing in May 2023. How to catch up on a series The series is the second collaboration between Hachette Partworks and 2000 AD publisher Rebellion Developments, following the success of Judge Dredd: The Mega Collection. It is available in the UK, Ireland and Australia.

Quote from: OrnateColt on 12 November, 2023, 07:33:30 PMAccording to Ian Edginton there will be three volumes of Scarlet Traces in this collection. Over the past 45 years, 2000 AD has been a vital comic anthology in the English-speaking world. It’s home to iconic characters, such as Judge Dredd, and has been a breeding ground for celebrated writers and artists. Similar to the hosts in horror comics, Tharg is the consistent voice for 2000 AD. He will introduce readers at the start of every prog and answer fan letters – often throwing in some of his own unique jargon. On the odd occasion, he’ll even star in his own strip.In reality, the role of Tharg is performed by whoever is editing 2000 AD at the time. 2000 AD lingo There's enough Savage to potentially do another 3 books. 2nd book would most likely be identical to The Guv'nor trade then we'd be getting stuff that hasn't made it into trades yet in the last 2. No idea if that's likely to make it into the extension or not, although I guess The Guv'nor material is probably a safeish bet. You may well see or hear about test volumes appear in newsagents in certain parts of the country over the next month. These tests are being done to see if a series would work and, if the test is successful, there'll be a big national launch at a later date - just like there was with the Mega Collection.
