So does 2000ad have a shared universe I mean ignoring the dredd stuff

Short answer: sometimes.

Most of 2000AD’s stories are self-contained, taking place in their own universes. But sometimes, when a writer does more than just one story, they end up tying them together, usually in specials or with guest appearances but sometimes in far bigger ways.

Judge Dredd and Strontium Dog, for instance, exist in the same universe, although Dog happens a bunch of years later so there’s not a lot of overlap. The two ‘verses were linked in a couple of crossovers, including the Judgment Day epic. Both series were created by John Wagner and Carlos Ezquerra. Also in the same universe is Harlem Heroes, but more on that later.

Similarly, a lot of John Smith’s creations, like Tyranny Rex and Indigo Prime, also share a same universe. But due to the multiversal nature of those stories it’s a bit easier.

And then there’s Pat Mills. See, Mills originally had the idea of tying in as many of his 2000AD stories as possible, setting them along in a big timeline. So... deep breaths now. Invasion! ties up with Ro-Busters/ABC Warriors, which also ties up with Nemesis the Warlock, which also ties up with Flesh, which also ties up with Judge Dredd, which also ties up with Harlem Heroes. Now, by and large most of these ties have been either downplayed or straight up ignored by other writers, but Mills’ own stories have only strengthened the ties. So the new Savage is very directly tied with ABC Warriors, for instance.

Ultimately, the answer is this: most of 2000AD is not a shared universe, and when it is, it’s only at the writer’s behest.

Nice spread of stories in the recent issue of 2000 AD (#2050), including the latest volume of Fall of Deadworld (SF horror, with designs inspired by a nightmare the artist had); latest Slaine (Celtic fantasy); a faux magazine interview with Zenith (British popstar and superhero) - he's 50 this week, I feel so OLD; and a new story for Indigo Prime (John Smith and GORGEOUS art by Lee Carter) in which William S Burroughs, Dr Crippen, and a telepathic Neanderthal have to deal with a very major problem with the multiversal early warning system. And that's not even unusual for a John Smith script.
