There was a grand tradition in the '70s and '80s of British comics merging with more successful titles, in the hope that this would mean an instant readership boost. The vast majority of those comics are long since closed, but 2000 AD, the iconic British sci-fi anthology and the home of Judge Dredd, endures. Still, as a bit of autumn fun, the comic's publisher Rebellion is imagining what it might have been like had 2000 AD joined forces with the long-dead war comic, Battle Action.
Taking place across 2000 AD Prog #2350 and Judge Dredd Megazine #460, this fantasy What If? scenario sees various Battle Action strips get a sci-fi update befitting of the self-proclaimed Galaxy's Greatest Comic.
