Shawn and Tom dedicate a special episode to talk all things 2000AD: past, present, and future. We discuss their new reprint programs, their attempts to bring back classic comics into their modern area, the problems with developing new talents, the things that make Judge Dredd so unique, and (of course) our personal favorites from over 40 years of history.

All of that plus a special (and possibly sad) announcement to all our dear listeners.
