An interesting collection of stories featuring many of the more popular characters from 2000ad. The range of storytelling is excellent, and while the artwork was a little different to what I prefer, I do appreciate that I'm very fond of the older styles of artwork from a long time back. That said, even though I wasn't enthused by the artwork, that didn't detract from my enjoyment of the stories themselves.

From an excellent tale of the time Joe Dredd broke the law, and what was done to make that right, to Anderson having to find ways around creatures more powerful than her, to characters I wasn't familiar with, like the Mayflies, a fascinating offshoot of the Rogue Trooper character..

My favourite part of the book was, by far, the future shocks towards the end of the book, short and snappy, the way future shocks should be, and with a nice reference to how certain films would have been had they been filmed in todays day and age. It's not a long book, but there's a lot of punch in it.

2000AD is a long-established science-fiction comic which has been running since the 1970s. It's always been a popular cult favourite, but it's never exactly been suitable for young children.
This is the third volume of 2000AD Regened, a decent attempt to produce a younger, less violent version of the Galaxy's Greatest Comic, pitched at (I would suggest?) the under-tens. Presumably, the aim is to get the kids hooked on 2000AD's unique brand of 'thrill-power' from a young age with a view to getting them into the harder stuff when they get older. I'm not suggesting anything sinister about this, however. 2000AD is a good comic and this seems like a worthy goal.
Mega City One's formidable lawman, Judge Dredd (the original comic's most enduring story) is presented as Cadet Dredd, focusing on his childhood days when he was still in training. Other stories are essentially the same (Anderson PSI, Harlem Heroes, Tharg's Futureshocks) but are less brutal or scary than usual. There are over 100 pages here including some age-appropriate jokes and puzzles at the back.
A reasonable accompaniment to other kids' favourites like The Phoenix and The Beano.

I have been reading 2000aAD since before the year 2000 but of late have read any at all so it was not only a very enjoyable blast from the past but a chance to see what delights I have been missing. Buy it, read it, remember it
