Collection 25 – Strontium Dog: Outlaw

Yer a dead dog Alpha! It’s the twenty-fifth in our series of Space Spinner 2000 collections! These collections have all of our coverage for a specific character or storyline, all in one place. They’re a great accompaniment to reading collected versions of 2000AD, or to just hear your favorite thrill all in one place.

Outlaw is the first real contemporary, full powered Strontium Dog epic. While Journey to hell features a Johnny, Wulf, and Gronk out of their element and without many time weapons, and Portrait of a mutant is about young Johnny, this is our hero at the height of his powers. It also brings in characters from both those previous epics and from smaller stories we’ve seen along the way, like Middenface McNulty and the Stix brothers, to say nothing of the ultimate evil, which I’ll not spoil at this point. It’s time to get the band back together and fight once more for mutant kind! Keep an eye out for my favorite, the Torso from Newcastle, as we head out with Strontium Dog: Outlaw!

Collection 24 – Rogue Trooper Volume 1 Part 3

Let’s Knife! It’s the twenty-fourth in our series of Space Spinner 2000 collections! These collections have all of our coverage for a specific character or storyline, all in one place. They’re a great accompaniment to reading collected versions of 2000AD, or to just hear your favorite thrill all in one place.

Freshen up your stereotypes, because we’re headed for Fort Nuero! It’s probably my favorite Rogue Trooper story, and finds the Genetic Infantrymen making his way through an isolated fortress on the edge of Nu-Earth where all of the inhabitants have gone completely mad! It’s jokes I only sort of get and cool rover droids against an army of crafty Norts, and oh man it’s a lot of fun. After that we’ll meet a high ranking figure from Rogue’s past, and join professor of dark shocks Alan Moore for meditations on the nature of conflict. It should be a great time!
