Not Final Cover
The latest issue of Judge Dredd Megazine hits the stands tomorrow and has begun the run down to it's Christmas issue as the three remaining on-going stories reach their penultimate episodes. However as usual the Meg starts off with a (self-contained) Judge Dredd story Scrawling The Walls which is one of the odder outings for the lawman as youngsters and political dissidents escape Megacity into what seems to be just a piece graffiti on the wall.
Next up is part 7 of The Returners a feature I actually look forward to seeing the end of. Didn't like this at all. As for the bloody Leprechaun in a jungle...do me a favour. This is followed by Angelic which takes us through the search for Angel and we find yet another tortured soul. Give a man a choice..will he be friend or foe?
Tales from The Black Museum: The Electrosist shows a very different kind of haunting with an unexpected twist at the end. Mega City is just full of surprises. Of course Devlin Waugh continues with a very violent football match taking place in hell. Warhammer fans might want to think Blood Bowl. I still have that game somewhere.
There's also some interesting articles including one on Hibernia Comics who are publishing some of the lesser known British comics stories by arrangement with Rebellion. We also get further information about the revival of Monster Fun and why they decided to run with that title rather than the previous Buster/Cor arrangement which appealed to old gits like me, but cloth caps are a thing of the past and Monster Fun invites today's kids in on a level they will relate to.
Rating: 4 Stars
And as if you haven't forgotten the new 2000AD is out tomorrow and I just noticed I haven't read last weeks issue yet so a bit of catching up to do!
