2000 AD crossovers

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

2000 AD crossovers are crossover stories appearing in British comic 2000 AD, its sister title the Judge Dredd Megazine, and other related output, such as novels, audio plays, films and role-playing games.

Not all of the stories told in 2000 AD and its related publications exist in the same shared universe, unlike in some other comics, for example the Marvel Universe. Indeed the majority of stories which have appeared in 2000 AD since 1977 have never been connected with each other. However, the series which are so connected are generally the most significant ones in the comic in terms of the number of issues they have appeared in, their popularity with readers, and their significance in the history of the comic.

[edit] Stories in a shared universe

Those stories which occupy the main 2000 AD universe include:

[edit] Connections between stories

Series can be linked to each other in either of two ways: crossovers and spin-offs. There are also combinations of both.

[edit] Crossovers

Firstly, series which were completely independent of each other when they were created – often by different writers, and sometimes even in different comics – were later linked to each other. This could be done either by a crossover story in which two or more characters from the respective series meet each other, or by a caption or piece of dialogue explicitly referring to events which occurred or characters who appeared in an earlier story in another series. Two examples of the former kind are the Judge Dredd stories "Top Dog" and "Judgement Day", which both featured Johnny Alpha in a major role. Alpha is the lead character from the series Strontium Dog, a series which began in Starlord comic in 1978 (and which later moved to 2000 AD when Starlord ceased publication), but which had never previously hinted at any connection with Dredd's world. Alpha lived over half a century in Dredd's future, and the crossover was accomplished by having Alpha time-travel back to Dredd's era. An example of the second kind is the Judge Dredd story "The Cursed Earth," which featured a dinosaur called Satanus who was described as the clone of another dinosaur which had appeared in most episodes of the earlier series Flesh. Flesh was a previously unconnected series about dinosaurs millions of years in the past.

In either case, once a connection between two series was established, it was often repeated. For example, "Top Dog" was followed up by "Judgement Day," and the reference to Flesh in Judge Dredd was reciprocated by the cameo appearance of a Mega-City judge in Nemesis the Warlock Book V, which was itself a crossover with Flesh because it featured Satanus in a major role. This latter example illustrates how series were not just linked to each other in pairs, but in multitudes. Pat Mills, the first editor of 2000 AD and creator of many enduring series, was responsible for many such connections. He deliberately connected his own series ABC Warriors to Flesh, and then linked Nemesis to both. (All three series were created by him, but they had originally had nothing to do with each other.) This therefore established that Judge Dredd, Flesh, Nemesis, and ABC Warriors all existed in the same continuity: a list which would be added to many more times. Indeed, this was official editorial policy in the comic's early years,[citation needed] although the trend diminished later on.

Sometimes the link between two series can be of paramount importance to the story (such as Alpha's appearance in Judge Dredd); in other stories the reference can be a passing homage to an earlier tale with no effect whatsoever on the plot of the story in which it occurs (such as the reference to Satanus' ancestry in "The Cursed Earth"). However, once a minor link had been made between two series, it was occasionally followed up by a major link in a later story. For example, the original link between Flesh and ABC Warriors was nothing more than a passing reference to the fact that a dinosaur appearing in an ABC Warriors story was a clone of Satanus. But Satanus himself subsequently played an important part in Nemesis Book V, by which time the entire cast of ABC Warriors had themselves moved to the Nemesis strip.

[edit] Spin-offs

Secondly, a new series can be created as a deliberate off-shoot from a parent series. This can also occur in two ways. One method was to take a supporting character from an existing series and start a new series with that character in the lead (sometimes with the lead character from the original series appearing in a cameo). Two examples are Judge Anderson, first introduced in Judge Dredd, being given her own series, Anderson: Psi Division, five years later; and Durham Red getting her own series after her debut in Strontium Dog. Since Judge Dredd and Strontium Dog occupy the same universe, it follows that Anderson and Red do too (although they have never both appeared in the same story).

Another method was to create a brand new character for a new series, but to state from the outset that the story took place in an existing environment from an established strip. Most of the series in the Judge Dredd Megazine were created in this way. Virtually all such stories in the main 2000 AD universe are spin-offs from Judge Dredd, but The 86ers was a series set in the world of Rogue Trooper which did not feature the established cast of its parent strip.

[edit] Comparison

It should be noted that while writers and editors have generally ensured that events occurring in spin-offs and their parent series are usually mutually consistent with each other, so that events in one such strip do not contradict events in another, much less care – if any – is taken to ensure a uniform continuity between crossover series. Therefore while events which occur in the Anderson, Psi Division spin-off may have repercussions in Judge Dredd and vice versa, the continuity of Strontium Dog might be ignored. This can even occur within the crossover story itself: for example, in "Judgement Day" Johnny Alpha travelled back in time from 2178 to 2114 to arrest a criminal from his own time who started a world war in Dredd's era. It was never explained in the story how an event as significant as a world war did not appear to be remembered by history in Alpha's era.

[edit] Rogue Trooper

The series Rogue Trooper was the most complicated example of all, as it became a combination of both categories: a crossover and a spin-off from itself. The original series ran in 2000 AD from issues 228 to 635, when it ended. A completely new series of Rogue Trooper then began in #650, by a different writer. This was not intended to be a sequel to the old version, but was a brand new, modernised reinterpretation of the character, with significant differences from the old version. It was not supposed to be set in the same universe or continuity, but was a total replacement of both. However, years later and in the hands of a new writer, a story was written which established that the new and old Rogue Troopers were two different people inhabiting the same universe, and a convoluted continuity was contrived to explain their co-existence. In an unusually complicated crossover, the two Rogue Troopers actually met each other. This state of affairs did not continue for long, however, and the old version was killed off. Ironically, the new version declined in popularity and the strip was discontinued, only to be replaced with the original version, in stories set before the original's death.

There have been a number of less complicated Rogue Trooper spinoffs largely following the adventures of the various G.I.s, like Venus Bluegenes, Rafaelle Blue and Tor Cyan.

[edit] Crossovers

As most of the 2000 AD crossovers occur on the same timeline, not in parallel universes, the majority of crossovers take place thanks to the widespread, but temperamental, time travel technology that was invented at the end of the 21st century.

[edit] Stories by Pat Mills

Pat Mills was responsible for the majority of the crossovers.

  • ABC Warriors: "Golgotha", in the first series, featured a clone of Satanus and linked ABC Warriors to Flesh.
  • Nemesis the Warlock: "Book IV: The Gothic Empire" introduced the ABC Warriors to Nemesis. "Book V: The Vengeance of Thoth" featured the return of Satanus in a major role, and a cameo by a judge of Mega-City One, linking Nemesis to Flesh and Judge Dredd.
  • The Volgans appear as the enemies of Bill Savage in Invasion!, and also in early episodes of ABC Warriors as the enemies of the character Hammerstein.

[edit] Stories by other writers

[edit] Judge Dredd stories

A number of characters have appeared in Judge Dredd stories (or vice versa).

[edit] Harlem Heroes

Judge Giant, son of Giant of the Harlem Heroes, graduated from the Academy of Law [1]

[edit] Rogue Trooper

Souther troops flee Nu-Earth back through time to Mega-City One in 2116. They reach an agreement with the judges where they swap medical aid for technology. Friday is blamed for the massacre but, as his memory returns, he realises a traitor is at work and tries to track him down. Unfortunately it seems a far more famous clone may try and stop him - Judge Dredd. [2]

[edit] Skizz

The Gunlords of Omega Ceti try to kill Skizz by travelling back in time but somehow end up in 22nd century Australia where they met Dredd. [3]

[edit] Strontium Dog

Dredd has crossed the path of Strontium Dogs Johnny Alpha and Wulf Sternhammer a couple of times. In the first encounter they travelled back in time to Mega-City One, 2112, and were nearly arrested by Dredd. [4] Later, Johnny Alpha again stepped back in time to 2114 and helped Judge Dredd save Mega-City One from a zombie apocalypse during Judgement Day. [5]

[edit] Rogue Trooper and Mercy Heights

  • Rogue Trooper: "Blue on Blue" and sequels joined together the original and new versions of the character in the same continuity (see above).
  • Mercy Heights was initially a new series with no connection to Rogue Trooper. When the series ended Tor Cyan, a character from the series, began his own eponymous series, in which it was eventually revealed that he was a genetic infantryman like Rogue Trooper.

[edit] Spin-offs

This list does not include direct sequels, such as Inferno and Savage.

[edit] Parallel universes

As well as the above timeline tying together a lot of the stories in 2000 AD, other parallel universes are known to co-exist alongside the main one, and some of them have intruded into it. Most famously this has happened with Judge Death and the Dark Judges who, in the story "Helter Skelter" (progs 1250 to 1261), provide dimension jump technology to an alternate Judge Cal who brought together a wide range of 2000 AD heroes and villains. ("Helter Skelter" (written by Garth Ennis) actually referenced many different 2000 AD characters who are not part of the 2000 AD Universe, stating that they all exist in parallel dimensions.)

[edit] Intercompany crossovers

There have been numerous intercompany crossovers between 2000 AD stories and with stories published by other companies (DC Comics and Dark Horse Comics). Given his high profile these often mix other characters with Judge Dredd. These include:

[edit] Aliens

Main article: Judge Dredd vs. Aliens

Mr Bones eventually manages to launch his revenge on Mega-City One, unleashing the Xenomorph (called the Incubus here) into the Grand Hall of Justice itself. [53]

[edit] Batman

Main article: Judgement on Gotham

There have been a number of crossovers with the Dark Detective including a team-up with Dredd to defeat the combined might of Judge Death and The Scarecrow.[54]

[edit] Lobo

Lobo, the intergalactic mercenary, became a popular character when Alan Grant took on the writing duties so a run-in with Dredd was a logical progression. [55]

[edit] Predator

Main article: Predator vs. Judge Dredd

The Predator has made many visits to Earth throughout history, and in a number of parallel universes, so it was almost inevitable that they would eventually clash with Dredd. [56]

[edit] Pseudonyms and cameos

Occasionally real life creators and individuals pop up in disguise.

[edit] Pseudonyms

Some work in the 2000 AD Universe has been done by people using pseudonyms for various reasons:

  • K. Edwards (from the spud/potato ) - Gary Leach (as Paul Behrer), Will Simpson and Dave Elliot. This arose because the scripts for the "Oz" epic were late and so the three artists had to collaborate. The name is based on a type of potato, the King Edward, and "Spud" is not only a slang term for a potato, but also Elliot's nickname that he and Leach have used as a pseudonym previously when collaborating.[57]
Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.
Spoilers end here.

[edit] Cameos

People from the comics world, as well as public figures, have made cameo appearances within the 2000 AD Universe including:

  • Judge Logan has appeared in a number of stories including the current epic "Origins" and is named after W.R. Logan who started Class of '79.
  • Kenny Who? is based on artist Cam Kennedy and his storylines (drawn by Kennedy) dealt with issues he encountered in the American comic industry.

[edit] The "Smithiverse"

The writer John Smith often places a number of his characters in the same stories, which has become known among fans as The Smithiverse. These have never been explicitly linked to the main 2000 AD Universe, but stand together as an independent universe of their own. However, one particular species of alien of Smith's creation has appeared in both the Smithiverse (in Firekind and Tyranny Rex) and in the regular 2000 AD Universe (in Devlin Waugh spinoff Pussyfoot 5).

Smithiverse stories include Indigo Prime, Tyranny Rex and Firekind.
