JUDGE DREDD // IRON TEETH by Ken Niemand (w) Nick Percival (a) Annie Parkhouse (l)
Into the darkness! I like the ambiguity of the villain of the story. Are they like Judge Death or something else? No answers or guesses here. The dark location and the addition of the child as a sidekick is a good mix for Dredd.
INTESTINAUTS // BUSTED FLUSH by Arthur Wyatt (w) Pye Parr (a & l)
I love the style of this story with some big and small ideas. It's a nice twist that I admittedly saw coming. Even so, I’m intrigued to see what comes next.
New! THE LORD PROVIDES by Gemma Sheldrake (w) Petite Creme (a) Jim Campbell (l)
It's a freaky one-shot story with a brilliant buildup. I love the art style, and the big reveal is excellent. I’ve been thinking about it recently, too. It's a nice horror mystery in one story.
BRINK // CONSUMED by Dan Abnett (w) INJ Culbard (a) Simon Bowland (l)
I'm getting deeper into the investigation here. I liked how the characters all reacted and their conversations together. There is a nice twist on the story and possibly something deeper in the policing organisation.
New! ROGUE TROOPER // SOUTHER BELLE by Geoffrey D. Wessel (w) Dan Cornwell (a) Chris Blythe (c) Jim Campbell (l)
It's a clever beginning to a new Rogue Trooper story. The banter between the chips continues to be entertaining, and I like how the reveal - and mission for Rogue - pans out.
New! FUTURE SHOCKS // HAPPY WIFE by Laura Bailey (w) Stewart K. Moore (a) Annie Parkhouse (l)
This was an entertaining read. The story had a good twist as we worked through it. I did suspect something was up, but how we worked through it made it feel like a longer story.
PROTEUS VEX // DEVIOUS by Mike Carroll (w) Jake Lynch (a) Jim Boswell (c) Simon Bowland (l)
More secrets and history here. Vex continues to be an entertaining character and he has his issues. I like how this is building into the main reasons and plot of the story after so much setup.
