☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis 2013 collection from Rebellion gathers a selection of science fiction thriller stories originally serialized in the pages of 2000 AD, showcasing the anthology's tradition of high-concept, fast-paced genre storytelling. The volume brings together tales from various creators, highlighting the blend of futuristic action and suspense that defines the 2000 AD universe.
"Visible Man (Part 1)" delivers a sharp, high-stakes sci-fi thriller from writer-artist Jim Watson, whose full creative control shines in every panel. In a world plunged into sudden ice-age conditions, Hunter and Vandenberg race against time to stop an alien threat, uncovering a mysterious satellite just as the battle begins. Mike Perkins' striking cover captures the tension perfectly, setting the tone for a story that’s as visually driven as it is suspenseful.
In "Visible Man (Part 3)," Frank’s desperate attempt to blend in backfires when a solar lamp nearly burns him alive, forcing him to mask his altered appearance with cosmetics. As he tries to pass unnoticed in a bank line, the makeup begins to peel away, revealing his true form and sparking chaos among the stunned onlookers.
In "Visible Man (Part 6)," Hart—his body laid bare by a condition that renders him transparent—ventures into space on a mission that quickly turns desperate. As the scientists' true intentions become clear, he faces a chilling choice: return to Earth or stay beyond reach, where his visibility may be his only defense.
In "Colony Earth (Part 1)," Naval Intelligence agent Hunter is sent to the Arctic to investigate the mysterious vanishings of the British trawler Lord Nelson and the nuclear sub Drake. As he probes the frozen waters, he uncovers evidence that the disappearances may not be the work of human error or accident—but something far stranger, and far older.
In the heart of a South American village, the missing submarine Drake lies stranded far from any ocean—its discovery drawing Hunter and the Prof into a mystery that quickly turns deadly. When the alien responsible unleashes its power, destroying their gunships in seconds, they take cover as a colossal spaceship descends from the sky.
In "Colony Earth (Part 6)," Hunter and Vandenberg push through a world remade by sudden, catastrophic climate shifts, racing against time and alien forces to reach a besieged satellite tracking station. With a captured alien robot and an anti-grav buggy as their only tools, they fight their way through chaos to bring down a menacing saucer—only to learn from a dying technician that a massive alien satellite has just been detected. Now, with the saucer fallen and the truth just beginning to surface, they press on toward the wreckage, unaware of what lies beyond.
