If you’re a Watchmen fan of Alan Moore and you haven’t branched out too far beyond that, then you probably haven’t walked into a comic shop except with your boyfriend or, perhaps, to buy Watchmen as a gift for someone else, so ‘2000 A.D.’ is undoubtedly going to sound like a mystery to you, unless I describe it as Heavy Metal written by Brits, and then you’ll nod all noddy-like.  That’s insulting because 2000 AD has a much deeper sense of universe and richer cache of ongoing characters than HM, but for all intents and purposes that description works.  And it works to suggest: if you’re a casual Moore fan, this book will seem silly.

BUT I LIKE SILLY
