Mega-City Two

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Mega-City Two is a huge fictional city covering five thousand square miles of the Californian West Coast in the Judge Dredd comic book series.

The city became America's second city after the Atomic Wars of 2070. Although allied with Mega-City One and Texas City, it was independently governed by its own Justice Department and, on one famous occasion, they displayed a remarkable degree of neutrality when they refused to intervene in the Apocalypse War between its sister city and East-Meg One. This was despite the fact that Mega-City Two owed its very survival to a mission of mercy carried out by the Judges of Mega-City One when the second city was afflicted with the deadly Virus Strain 2T(FRU)T in 2100.

In 2114 Mega-City Two was completely overrun by zombies unleashed by the evil Necromagus Sabbat. With the city beyond hope of rescue, the place was nuked out of existence on the orders of a council of Judges from all over the world.

A second incarnation of Mega City Two was later built by the Hondo City Judges, although little to nothing has been shown of life there besides a Supersurf contest. The editors later explained that this related to a planned storyline which was then discontinued, and no mention of the reconstructed city has been made for many years since.

The city made its first appearance in Prog 42 of the comic book 2000 AD and was destroyed in Judge Dredd Megazine Volume 2: issue 7. Reconstruction of the city was announced in prog 964 of 2000 AD, but that storyline was discontinued.
