The Complete Future Shocks #2
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis second volume of Rebellion's comprehensive collection gathers more of the short, twist-ending sci-fi stories originally published in 2000 AD under the 'Future Shocks' banner. Featuring early work from a range of creators who would go on to define British comics, the volume includes the tale 'Joe Black' among its many standalone narratives. Spanning several years of the anthology's run, it showcases the inventive, often darkly humorous one-off stories that became a hallmark of the Galaxy's Greatest Comic.
In "Ang About!", Kain wages relentless war in a brutal arena, unaware of the truth beneath the chaos. When the battle ends, he uncovers a startling revelation—his body is not flesh, but machine. The story unfolds with a twist that redefines everything, revealing the arena as a child’s toy and its combatants as tiny, sentient robots. Written by Oleh Stepaniuk and illustrated by Rob Moran, with lettering by John Aldrich, the issue’s cover by Brett Ewins captures the eerie scale of this miniature world.
