The Megazine is currently published monthly, though at times in the past has been published fortnightly.
- Like 2000 AD, the Megazine is an anthology, featuring a number of ongoing and stand-alone stories. Some series have comprised a specific storyline while others have had only a loose thematic connection. Originally, the Megazine only included stories set in the world of Judge Dredd, including both spin-off series and Future Shock-style done-in-one stories, starting with Strange Cases and continuing with Tales from the Black Museum. However, it has since expanded to included some unconnected stories and text pieces, including articles, interviews and reviews.

Unlike 2000 AD, [[wikipedia:#Reprint|reprint]] material has been extensively used in order to bring costs down (as original material must be commissioned). As well as older 2000 AD stories, like Helltrekers, there have also been reprints of stories that were originally printed elsewhere, like Preacher and Charley's War. Since the demise of 2000 AD Extreme Edition, a bimonthly 2000 AD spinoff which focused on reprints of old strips, a separate reprint [[wikipedia:#Supplements|supplement]] has been packaged with each issue of the Megazine, each issue usually focusing on the work of a particular 2000 AD contributor or compiling a particular strip. Starting in issue #276 they opened up a Creator-owned slot that featured Tank Girl, American Reaper and Snapshot.
