Webcomic Weekly – Pssst… Want 500+ Pages Of 2000 AD For Free?

by Richard Bruton

Webcomic Weekly – Comicon’s way of showing you free comics online. And whilst it might be bending the rules a little for Webcomic Weekly, it’s still more than 450+ pages of free comics for you, just for signing up to their newsletter.

You know, I thought I’d mentioned this already… but no. So, here we are. And perfectly timed, as we’re around the 46th birthday of the Prog’s appearance in 1977.

It’s simple really, 2000 AD is one of the best things here in the British comics scene (and believe me, there’s a lot to love in the British comics scene). So I try to share the love with you here at Comicon, whether it’s through The Weekly 2000 AD or the Monthly Megazine or the frequent previews of new collections that we do.

But I’m doing a very poor job of it really if I don’t point out that you should be signed up to their newsletter for all the free comics it gives you – both classic and modern. The 2000 AD newsletter, the Thrill-Mail, comes to you every week with details of new releases and news of what’s coming up from both 2000 AD and the Treasury of British Comics.

All you have to do is sign up with your email address and confirm it and then… BOOM!… near immediate access to 450+ pages of 2000 AD comics that includes all the goodies below.

And actually, since writing this one I’ve had to come back and edit it – there’s now even more available! Keep reading after the art to hear about that!

Anyway, for all the goodies and more, simply head here or download their app, fill in the details, confirm it’s you, and there you go.

2000 AD Classic (71 pages of classic material)

2000 AD Modern (81 pages of material from the more recent years)

Mega-City Five-0 (129 pages of Dredd)

Dredd: Underbelly by Arthur Wyatt and Henry Flint (the complete 36-page sequel to the Dredd movie)

Jaegir: Strigoi by Gordon Rennie and Simon Coleby

Aquila Issue 1 by Gordon Rennie and Leigh Gallagher

The Grievous Journey of Ichabod Azrael (and the Dead Left in his Wake) Issue 1 by Rob Williams and Dom Reardon

Brass Sun Issue 1 by Ian Edginton and INJ Culbard

Brink by Dan Abnett and INJ Culbard (a 28-page sampler of the first book)

So yes, just as I was finishing this article the latest 2000 AD newsletter popped into my inbox offering me even more free downloads – so it’s a regular feature of the newsletter to get freebies and advance notice of upcoming strips.

The latest newsletter offers you the chance for a free anniversary edition of 2000 AD Prog 1200, the first Prog published under Rebellion some 23 years ago. Not just that though, but there’s also sampler downloads of Dan Abnett and Mark Harrison’s The Out, and a special issue zero edition of Battle Action in advance of the new five-issue series, featuring Rat Pack by Garth Ennis and Keith Burns and Hellman of Hammer Force by Garth Ennis and Mike Dorey, reprinted from 2022’s Battle Action Special.

And finally, a special birthday download – Judge Dredd: The Free Comic Book Day Cases, featuring the Judge Dredd episodes from the FCBD 2000 AD offerings, three tales written by Al Ewing and with art from Erica Henderson, VV Glass, and Caspar Wijngaard.

That means it’s full of the likes of this…

31 pages of Prog 1200…

36 pages of a special issue zero edition of Battle Action – includes Rat Pack by Garth Ennis and Keith Burns and Hellman of Hammer Force by Garth Ennis and Mike Dorey
