As the 'Best of' series continues, it becomes more and more clear how vast the scope of '2000 AD' actually is, and just how well the title has handled so many types of stories throughout the decades.
series launching later this month is how successfully it manages to deliver on the promise of its title. A significant part of that success comes down to curation. While the six volumes in the collection haven’t been officially separated by theme or any specific criteria, they each have an individual identity that allow them to stand alone for readers looking to pick up just one book for a particular experience.
The first volume, by accident or design, pushes back on the idea that the title is filled with boys-only adventures . It does this with a trio of stories centering important women in the title’s history, devoting significant real estate to “Shamballa,” arguably the finest of the Judge Anderson stories by the late Alan Grant and Arthur Ranson, and the first volume of the beloved2000 AD
’s back catalog that avoid making their central characters into femme fatales or helpless maidens, but allow them an emotional depth and messiness that even the title’s male characters weren’t awarded at the time. The third of the woman-led strips in the collection is a contemporary one, and the only strip to run through subsequent volumes. It’s a smart choice for this role; Dan Abnett and INJ Culbard’s “Brink” isn’t just one of the finest storieshas published in years—it’s just finished its fifth run in the weekly—but one of its most complex in terms of subject matter and tone. By the end of its most recent run, it’s tackling how societies treat unions, mental health, and journalistic ethics.
