Cadet Dredd: The Exchange by James Peaty (w) Joe Currie (a) Annie Parkhouse (l)
Less Rico in this issue - although he does make a cameo appearance - and I think this is a good thing. We don’t want it hammered in where Rico is going, and this story is called Cadet Dredd. Even so, this was a different aspect of Dredd; you can see where he leads. A clever twist too.
Lowborn High; Wishing Well by David Barnett (w) Mike Walters (a) Pippa Bowland (c) Jim Campbell (l)
This story is ramping up here, with the mysterious parts starting to make sense. There are still some questions to be answered, but the character moments are working well and have some good moments. I love the concept and the magic being used.
Future Shocks: Autocop by Karl Stock (w) Toby Willsmer (a) Annie Parkhouse (l)
A comedic, dark turn on the AI problem. Mixing in many aspects, with some well-played humour and a good finish to the end.
Renk: Twinkle Toes by Paul Starkey (w) Anna Readman (a) Gary Caldwell (c) Simon Bowland (l)
I really enjoy this series. The humour and the characters are excellent, and it has some good fun aspects and interesting people to meet. I wonder if a larger arc is planned?
