Synopsis:
First published in 1977 at the height of the punk era, UK Sci-Fi comic 2000AD was violent, anti-authoritarian, darkly funny and distinctly British. With such iconic characters as Strontium Dog, Nemesis and Judge Dredd, it became the anarchic underdog that forever changed the face of the international comics industry.

Offering a comprehensive overview of the comic’s history, Future Shock! takes a funny, moving and passionate look at the various highs and lows of how a band of talented eccentrics came together to create a visionary and extraordinary publication that still remains a game-changer more than 40 years later.

Featuring interviews with the likes of Pat Mills (ABC Warriors, Slaine), Dave Gibbons (Watchmen), Neil Gaiman (The Sandman), Karl Urban (Dredd) and Alex Garland (Ex Machina), Future Shock! is the definitive story of the most successful comic in the galaxy - now loaded with over six hours of previously unseen extras.

And there was me thinking I'll probably flip this one to the gorgeous original artwork. That said, this new artwork looks pretty good and I probably looks even better in the flesh.

Great documentary, a no brainer double dip no matter who put it out on blu-ray. However I'm surprised that Arrow went to the expense of submitting this to the BBFC as under the old rules at least surely the feature and the bonus interviews definitely qualified as exempt.

[CouncilSpectre]

Erm...



...for this one!

[Joe Pineapples]

Yes please. And thank you!
Now, how long before we find out how and where Jock will be signing these things

[JimDiGriz]

Pre-ordered. Saw the documentary not long ago and loved it so this was a no-brainer. Cant wait to watch all those extras. Been ages since I pre-ordered an Arrow release.

Ill comment when my jaw has been picked up, absolute deffo buy.

Saw the doc a while back - I was really looking forward to it - but was somewhat underwelmed.

However, the amount of extras (especially interviews etc) are seriously making me consider this

I remember rushing to the local shops on a Monday to buy the very first issue of 2000ad... I was off school (ahem!) as well... and I loved the comic, totally engrossed in it all afternoon - and Dredd wasn't even in that issue... err, sorry... Prog

I bought the digital download in HD, but I'll gladly pony up cash for a BD release with some tasty extra footage.

[mckee74]

Its been a while since I've been excited by a bluray release. Can't wait for this.

[Boschy]

Will grab this for sure.
