As some of you may already know Rebellion is making a serious effort to push 2000 AD more in the American market. Despite the fact that the US comics industry has cherry picked a diverse array of writers and artists who served their time on 2000 AD, from Bolland and Ennis to Morrison and Moore [...]

I’m sure we’ve all indulged in little daydreams from time to time, little idle thoughts as we walk around town, wait at the grocery store or post office, of something exciting happening and ourselves stepping in heroically to bravely sort everything out.
