Sister Title Judge Dreadmegazine of 2000 will experience an overhaul of the format in the April issue. Starting this week at #479 (hit UK stores and digitally on April 16th), the title will reduce the page count from pages 128-96, focusing solely on new material. The £6.99 cover price ($12.99) remains unchanged. This is set to mark the 35th fall anniversary of Megazine.
According to email:
“As we head towards anniversary later this year, we’re writing to let you know there are some changes to the megazines that are heading your path in the coming months.”
addition:
“…We’re focusing on our core mission to remodel the Megazine to release new and exciting comics. Starting in April issue #479, the page count for each issue will be reduced, but the page count for the new comic remains exactly the same, and this change will not affect any active subscriptions.
The same email will later tease future strips – a long return of Megatropolis, rejecting Kenneth Neemand and Dave Taylor’s retrofuture dreadworld. It has not been seen on the Megazine page since it ended in 2021.
The first series of Megatropolis was collected, but Series/Book 2 was MIA for some time
Judge Dred Megazine is a 128-page sister title every month. It mainly includes stories set in and around the world of signature character judge dread with longer page counts, with longer form articles, interviews and bonus content. It features many outstanding judge dread stories (particularly the Landmark American Ark), and has had the popular Dread World Series, including the Simplifying Detective, Devlin War, Lawless, Dreadnought and the Rebellion (we can continue).
Megazine has not been used to changing formats since it debuted in 1990. Recent readers recall that “minitrades” from the archives of the 2008-2022 Owner Rebellion, which ran from 2000 to 2008-2022, were packaged in the “minitrades” of the British comics that ran from 2000 to 2022. Judge dread license and vintage ex-love from the Department of Treasury for the UK comic collection. Last year, one of the reprint slots was replaced by new children’s material from the 2000 AD’s Regened Initiative. The remaining reprint slots earlier this year were filled by Reds’ indie rock, owned by creators John Wagner, Alan Grant and Dan Cornwell, reprinting the first two series before the third. This appears to be a continuous phase.
