The latest issue of Judge Dredd Megazine hit stores today though if you are a subscriber your copy should have already arrived. It's the usual good value comic with the usual mini-graphic novel bagged with it. This month the publishers have chosen a Judge Dredd story Traumatown from 2014/15 by Michael Carrol and superb art from Nick Percival.
Meanwhile in the Meg itself the main one-shot Judge Dredd story is a rather tragic affair in Destiny's Child as a citizen keeps getting herself unnecessarily in trouble with the law. What is her story and how is Joe involved. Does he even care?
The "alternate universe" Megatropolis story continues with mystery and mayhem as we reach part six and secrets begin to reveal themselves. The black & white artwork by Dave Taylor certainly fits the mood of the noir adventure from the pen of Kenneth Niemand. This will be worth watching out for as a collected edition if you are not a regular reader. I certainly hope we get more!
The early days of the Judges comes to an end in Dreadnaughts: Breaking Ground part six an action packed disturbing story of a dystopian future not too far away from now. Again more please! While The Returners continues in Heartswood. I've not got into this story for some reason it's not bad but I've missed earlier episodes and not really caught up.
The Meg ends with Deliverance featuring Judge Death and his fellow creatures continues on a world where they are worshipped. Really dark story and art by David Hine and Nick Percival the latter being the artist whose work is featured in the mini-graphic novel this month .
There's the usual features including one on Rebellion's re-issuing of the Steel Claw's early adventures in Valiant both favourites from my childhood and worth grabbing a copy of. I won't be because I have the Titan edition from a few years back and can't afford to buy duplicates sadly even though the printing quality is higher.
