Must have gotten confused because DC published that Albion mini right around the same time as they started doing 2000 AD reprints, IIRC.
Not quite right. Rebellion are principally a games company, yes, but they were comparatively late realizing the potential of the 2000AD characters (a few other companies got there first). Buying 2000AD was their first real foray into magazine publishing and they've done pretty well with it, but oddly enough they didn't actually release a game based on the 2000AD characters until 2003, several years after they bought the comic itself.
