Call me The Mighty Tharg, for I am the allpowerful alien head of this emerald empire! Welcome back to the Galaxy’s Greatest Comic, Terrans — has it really been a week since I last engaged your Thrill-receptors with the circuit-sizzling contents of my illustrious organ? The perception of time can play havoc with the old cranial matter, even in a being as cosmically charged as myself — in recent years, it feels like your planet has increased its spin whereby events pass by in a blur only to be replaced by the next seismic chapter in your world’s story. As I dictate these words from my office in the Command Module, it seemed like Earth was heading towards WWIII thanks to a Bad Bob Booth-type leader currently squatting in the White House, but the apocalypse was thankfully postponed. What’s next in the carousel of chaos? As far as the geopolitical arena goes, I cannot say — but when it comes to Thrillpower, that I can supply. Inside you’ll find the finale to Flames & White Phosphorus, the latest instalments of Helium, Silver and Brink, and the winners of the 2000 AD Thought Bubble talent search present their Future Shock!.
