JUDGE DREDD // THE FINDER OF LOST THINGS by Ken Niemand (w) Rob Richardson (a) Annie Parkhouse (l)
A good short Dredd story, which is a nice palate cleanser after the last arc. I like the new character and hope we see more of her. The little hint at the end look like it will lead into something down the line…
HERNE & SHUCK // POWER TRIP by David Barnett (w) Lee Milmore (a) Gary Caldwell (c) Annie Parkhouse (l)
A good Herne-related issue, with the right finish to the story. Herne shines through, although I don’t think I’m going to get the vision of Herne in those budgie-smugglers out of my head for a while.
JUDGE DEE by Ben Wheatley (w) Simon Coleby (a) Jack Davies (c) Simon Bowland (l)
We get to the crux of the story here, and for both Dee and the demon, there are problems that won't be easy to overcome. Again with the colouring choices, which work really well here.
FUTURE SHOCKS // ONCE UPON A TIME ON HOLLYWORLD by Ed Whiting (w) Peter Clinton (a) Rob Steen (l)
A fame-related Future Shock, and I can see it going this way as dead actors are co-opted into films. A soft twist, but still entertaining.
THE DISCARDED by Peter Milligan (w) Kieran McKeown (a) Jim Boswell (c) Simon Bowland (l)
The ending of this was only a matter of time, but it does appear that the father/daughter reunion is getting closer! This continues to be an interesting story with a long-term outlook.
