I've been reading 2000 AD for years now, and this is a fantastic onramp. I can't recommend Judge Dredd enough. It's kicking off with a followup to the fantastic and timely "A Better World," examining what happens when a police state is threatened by its own irrelevance. Check it out.
There has been a lot of talk about the Amazing Spider-Man milestone. However, it's not the only big one. 2000 AD Prog 2500 comes out today (digitally and in the UK) and in the US in a few weeks. It's a good jumping-on issue. More details: 2000ad.com/news/2000-ad...

It's interesting to see how Marvel has approached milestone issues over the decades. Many times, they're an excuse to loop back to the origin (or Uncle Ben). Other times, they treat the occasion as an extra-sized issue to tell a big conclusion - #300 and #800 are examples.
With Amazing Spider-Man #1000 fast approaching, let’s take a look at the comic's previous milestone issues.
