JUDGE DREDD // A BETTER WORLD by Rob Williams & Arthur Wyatt (w) Henry Flint (c) Annie Parkhouse (l)
As Maitland tries to bring in a new way of governance, she has problems. These are threefold - there is the issue with those against the new plan - and this latest incident could be the citizens or those in the Judges who don’t like it. There are the Judge's reactions themselves, and there is the potential assassination attempt - bringing in Dredd earlier to her than I thought. Even so, this is a great story, and I’m looking forward to seeing where it leads.
THISTLEBONE by T.C. Eglington (w) Simon Davis (a) Simon Bowland (l)
Combining an information dump with some excellent character work in the past, I love the style of this, with the history lesson. The characters are well done, and those lingering looks in the final panel don’t bode well for what is to come.
ENEMY EARTH // BOOK THREE by Cavan Scott (w) Luke Horsman (a) Simon Bowland (l)
The link with the Earth, the humans and the aliens continues to be very interesting here. I like how this is playing out, and there may be a bigger problem than we initially suspected. I love the art and colouring in this story.
THE DEVIL’S RAILROAD by Peter Milligan (w) Rufus Dayglo (a) Jose Villarrubia (c) Jim Campbell (l)
Wow! Talk about a bittersweet ending. There is the possibility of a return to this story in the future, but even if there isn’t, this was a highly entertaining and thought-provoking story. That little smile at the end…
FERAL & FOE // BAD GODESBERG by Dan Abnett (w) Richard Elson (a) Jim Campbell (l)
It's not the way I thought that would go. I enjoyed this and look forward to seeing where this leads. There was some excellent action and art, though.
