The return of cult series Marshal Law has been teased a couple of times in recent years, with Top Shelf announcing an omnibus that never materialized way back in 2007 and DC Comics being connected to the title last year, but according to co-creator Pat Mills, fans shouldn’t expect any new material anytime in the near future. Talking to CBR about the 35th anniversary of 2000AD, he let the sad news slip out:
[W]ith the prospect of probably never returning to Law — as Kevin [O'Neill, co-creator] is busy on “League [of Extraordinary Gentlemen]” — I do need an outlet for the feelings and values described in Law… [New material] doesn’t look likely, alas. But let’s see what happens when the DC book comes out. You never know, Kevin could be tempted. If he was, I’d for it like a shot.
At least the DC book seems to be progressing, if slowly…

Real shame, love Marshall Law. Even though I have a few of the books, if DC released an omnibus I’d be picking it up on release day.
