2000ad presents: Mega-City MAX

[shakalooloo]

So, unlike Marvel, HBO, etc., 2000ad is using the MAX label to designate a title specifically for younger readers, moving on from their regular 'Regened' issues of the main title to this year's summer special!

"Welcome to the launch of a new comic, Mega-City Max, and while all these stories are set in the dystopian world of Mega-City One, home of Judge Dredd, the stories in this comic feature teen- and post-teen versions of 2000ad characters who are determined to get by, stand out, and be true to themselves in a future-shocked landscape that is not too dissimilar from our own once you get past the sci-fi tropes and gadgets" - the sales pitch on the inside-front cover

So yes, while the title does contain stories featuring a young DeMarco PI starting out, and a re-imagined cast of Harlem Heroes, for some reason good ol' Walter the Wobot gets a story too, despite, y'know, not being a teen in any way...

Oh, we get four pages for an issue, so here's some young Devlin Waugh as well:

I can get behind this, all that Thrillpower being denied to young readers who aren't allowed to be reading more adult content

Sorry, I just can't get behind Devlin without the teeth gap.

The rest is fine though.
