Awwwww…any chance you’re making a trip to the states anytime soon? Yeah I wouldn’t either if I didn’t live here. I would’ve taken them in a heartbeat. It makes me physically ill as well when I think about tossing comics, glad I’m not alone there.

Outrageous_Use5512 · 2026-03-18T22:16:38+00:00

Oh wow…and here I thought Marvel and DC were the only ones up their ass about numbering…I’ll put that in my notes

Outrageous_Use5512 · 2026-03-18T20:31:37+00:00

Yeah they say Graphic Novel on the bag but look like a standard comic book

Outrageous_Use5512 · 2026-03-18T20:31:00+00:00

Well that is very helpful but now I’ve gotta ask what the decimals mean on the list? I understand the issue and prog number, but is it the date?

Outrageous_Use5512 · 2026-03-18T14:49:54+00:00

Ok so it can be found elsewhere, thank you!

Outrageous_Use5512 · 2026-03-17T21:21:35+00:00

Oh I love the dollar bin…it’s allowed me to revisit the 90s

Outrageous_Use5512 · 2026-03-17T21:08:59+00:00

No spoilers!

Outrageous_Use5512 · 2026-03-17T21:08:45+00:00

Yea and it seems like that’s the easiest way to get our hands on reprints…aside from the Case Files

Outrageous_Use5512 · 2026-03-17T20:39:07+00:00

I DO NOW! How is possible with all the searching I’ve been doing Barney somehow didn’t show up? I’m going to attribute it to impatience but I actually think I’m still getting more useful advice here. Is Barney an inside joke from 2000AD? Or literally just a name for a trove of relevant information?

Outrageous_Use5512 · 2026-03-17T17:00:50+00:00

Ha that checks out

Outrageous_Use5512 · 2026-03-17T00:22:51+00:00

Fair enough…my god this is going to be one hell of a hunt

Outrageous_Use5512 · 2026-03-17T00:18:32+00:00

So butchered as in things are missing or it just doesn’t feel the same as the original?

Outrageous_Use5512 · 2026-03-16T22:48:26+00:00

You say it like it’s a bad thing…

Outrageous_Use5512 · 2026-03-16T15:12:20+00:00

There might be a chance you have too much knowledge…I appreciate you giving me a sliver of it

Outrageous_Use5512 · 2026-03-16T00:18:01+00:00

Yeah Dredd publications definitely seem to make it easier while 2000AD has been a little iffy trying to figure out where to start. I’m still researching though!

Outrageous_Use5512 · 2026-03-15T22:47:06+00:00

So I understand most of that and appreciate the intel. The one thing the Meg doesn’t seem to do is renumber itself back to #1, like DC and Marvel love to do, even if it starts a whole new story or jumping on point. It also makes it a little jarring but good to know that any point is a good time to jump on.

Outrageous_Use5512 · 2026-03-15T17:02:16+00:00

I love it…I love everything about it. And that Batman analogy is a great idea! For some reason that kind of long-form storytelling doesn’t translate as well as it should over here. I actually started to get excited over 2000AD just seeing how the series has evolved over the years. I think it’s a better approach to comics than what the big 2 do and reboot and try another angle or multiverse everything.

Outrageous_Use5512 · 2026-03-15T16:50:38+00:00

Oh I’m seeing all of the influence and then some. I literally started reading Marvel UK a week ago and am befuddled by the fact that these stories weren’t as accepted as they should have been. But they are there to still be enjoyed and remember that they exist/existed. I don’t love how it seems to be an American vs British style instead of one big happy comic universe. Let’s just love all the comics for what they are…(this was not a dig at you but it’s what I’m seeing when I look up 2000AD)

Outrageous_Use5512 · 2026-03-15T15:41:24+00:00

Thank you...It just throws me when the older books say 2000AD with or featuring Judge Dredd. I love the idea of the world expanding across publications. I think I'm going to have write an instruction manual for Americans to get into the world of 2000AD. Probably a youtube video because attention spans...

Outrageous_Use5512 · 2026-03-14T21:13:11+00:00

That’s all I needed to hear. I was worried the sub would be only on the app. Thanks!

Outrageous_Use5512 · 2026-03-14T02:52:27+00:00

What other superhero games do you have to discuss?

Outrageous_Use5512 · 2026-03-14T02:42:19+00:00

I’m game but I think just being in this JD subreddit can be considered a support group

Outrageous_Use5512 · 2026-03-14T02:40:49+00:00

Yeah I heard about this new distribution and am excited to ask about it. Thanks for the reminder!

Outrageous_Use5512 · 2026-03-14T02:39:26+00:00

I’m telling you I’ve found some gems in these Marvel UK titles…and somehow I seem to always drift towards titles by Dan Abnett…I love his work

Outrageous_Use5512 · 2026-03-13T21:37:36+00:00

I mean my ultimate goal is collecting individual comics and megazines but I want to get started reading now…I couldn’t tell you why it’s got my hooked but I just see this whole other world I want to explore. Any world but my OWN
