The latest issue of the Judge Dredd Megazine comes with three complete stories featuring Jo himself in a story of land grab and displacement. Extraction sees Mega City One trying to mine a short-lived mineral outside its'gates. Trouble is some muties live there already so the conflict is inevitable. But does anyone win?
Next up is another tale from The Black Museum, The Cackle. What if you laughed at all the wrong moments? A death, a misfortune is it a rare condition or something more? Would you believe a granny that says if you shag her a lot you can be cured of the demon inside? Grim story told in glorious black & white.
Devlin Waugh and his friendly demon companion trapped in a dildo (don't ask) arrive at a church where they find murder afoot. Who do they help? The perpetrators or the victim? Find out in The Wolves of St Vitus.
The final part of Blunt takes place if you like it. I don't so moving on there is a four page feature on one of my favourite comics from the sixties. SMASH! A great read for fans of the British comics and worth picking up back issues. 30th Century Comics specialise in old British comics (see sidebar for link).
Finally there the the penultimate part of Lawless: Boom Town. A mixture of sci-fi and the wild west set in the world of the Judges that continues to be highly highly entertaining.
Not forgetting there's the usual mini-graphic novel packaged with the Megazine. I find the contents a bit hit and miss sometimes. This months is the latter and is published to promote a book from Rebellion that I will never read....
However the 30th Anniversary of the Megazine approaches come September and Tharg is promising something special. Can't wait!
