JUDGE DREDD // TUNNELS by Rob Williams (w) RM Guera (a) Giulia Brusco (c) Annie Parkhouse (l)
An interesting beginning, and this is an all-action beginning to the story. Why is Dredd where he is at the tale's start, and where and who is he trying to see? And why!
NU EARTH WAR TALES // THE MAJOR by Gordon Rennie (w) Jake Lynch (a) Dylan Teague (c) Jim Campbell (l)
A dark ending here with plenty to think about going forward, plus the fact of the Major still being about. There is the forboding of the Quartz Zone massacre here too.
THARG'S 3RILLERS // FAR FROM EDEN by Alan Kerr (w) Ian Richardson (a) Pippa Bowland (c) Simon Bowland (l)
Twisting the tale more here, and it looks like there is more sci-fi plant/bug action here. I’m not sure who or what to trust and going into the final part next week makes that an interesting read.
FUTURE SHOCKS // INFILTRATOR by Ed Whiting (w) Adam Stone (a) Simon Bowland (l)
A clever Future Shock here and I like the way it plays out when you think about the story. Even so, I feel there could have been more in this, but the concept is sound.
SCARLET TRACES // EMPIRE OF BLOOD by Ian Edginton (w) D'Israeli (a) Annie Parkhouse (l)
This was a good buildup. I liked how it moved the investigation on faster and cleared some aspects up initially. Where we go from here will be interesting.
