Future Shocks are my favourite 2000AD stories. Loved listening to while on the nightshift at work. Great stories and some household names in the cast. But, guys the last episode was 10th May? Where is my thrill power?!!

Future Shocks baby.

Such a great cast! I felt like I'd teleported to the world's I grew up with, this is such a perfect medium for The Galaxy's Greatest Comic.

Absolutely brilliant, if you're a fan of 2000ad, this is a must. if you aren't- you will be! Listen, and then go grab some classic collections on the website. I'd recommend Slaine:The Horned God, Dredd Top Dog, Dredd Raptaur and some Strontium Dogs.

Yassssss!!!
