This week's 2000 AD is ideal for readers old and new to jump on board with the Galaxy's Greatest Comic, with FIVE new stories all beginning at one.

On the podcast, Molch-R and OW3N talk to Dan Abnett and INJ Culbard about the new series of deep space police procedural drama, Brink, which begins in this week's issue!

Set in the aftermath of mankind’s evacuation from Earth, the human race now populates a number of orbiting Habitats, artificial environments that are breeding grounds for drug crime, murder and all sorts of insanity. In this new series Habitat Security Division investigator Bridget Kurtis, whose last case saw her partner murdered, discovers there is more to the building of a new Habitat than anyone anticipated.

In Mega-City Zero writers Ulises Farinas and Erick Freitas took Judge Dredd from the streets of Mega-City One and into a bizarre inverted world where neither the city nor even the concept of law exist - how did the lawman survive in a world turned upside?

We talk to the writing duo about their vision of Judge Dredd and his world for IDW, pushing characters to the extreme and upsetting expectations, American attitudes to Dredd, their plans for the future, and writing Dredd against a background of controversy over police tactics in the US.

Hello chums! And welcome to the second part of our chat with comics editor Barrie Tomlinson.

If you’ve not listened to episode one, head back now and acquaint yourself with his insights into the lost world of British comics of the 1970s and ‘80s, and then zip right back here to listen to more from one of the most influential editors of the period, where we talk about a horror comic that’s not *too* scary, reviving Dan Dare for a second time, overseeing the decline of Battle and the rise of 2000 AD, and then going freelance...

Barrie Tomlinson isn't one of the names at the forefront of histories of 2000 AD, but his influence on British comics for 30 years cannot be understated and with the archive of Fleetway/IPC now joining the Galaxy's Greatest Comic at Rebellion it's a great time to hear a different perspective on the seminal period of the 1970s and 1980s.

With his uncanny knack for securing celebrity endorsements which saw him rub shoulders with TV and sporting stars alike, Barrie was probably one of the most successful editors in British comics. Not only did he give the hugely popular Roy of the Rovers his own 300,000-selling title, he also relaunched Eagle, and launched titles such as Scream, Speed, Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles, Mask, Ring Raiders and many more. He was group editor for 2000 AD and his hands-off approach allowing Steve MacManus and Richard Burton to guide the comic to the great heights of its 1980s heyday.

In a two-part interview, we talk to Barrie about his work in comics, his unique approach to marketing, and the rise and rise of Roy Race of Melchester Rovers...
