Judge Dredd: A Fallen Man by Ken Niemand (w) Tom Foster (a) Chris Blythe (c) Annie Parkhouse (l)
It is a good and correct finish to the story. I think that this story has been stretched out for as long as we can. I like the use of the characters, and I think there are legs for other ex-judges from Titan to be used in various ways.
Tharg's 3rillers: Die Hoard by Eddie Robson (w) Nick Brokenshire (a) Annie Parkhouse (l)
I enjoyed the action in this, and the finish made me smile. There is a lot of lore behind this short story, and I like how that was built in and understandable to the reader.
Hershey: The Cold in the Bones by Rob Williams (w) Simon Fraser (a) Simon Bowland
It is a sad finish, but there is a promise of something more coming from this story. Hershey has been a Judge all my life, so it’s sad to see a character like this go. Fitting and poignent.
Azimuth: A Job For Suzi Nine by Dan Abnett (w) Tazio Bettin (a) Matt Soffe (c) Jim Campbell (l)
Oof! I really enjoyed this issue although the ending was on a sad note. I do wonder what the plan is here for all these characters - who will survive and go forward!
