COVER: CLIFF ROBINSON AND DYLAN TEAGUE
JUDGE DREDD // FLAMES AND WHITE PHOSPHOROUS by TC Eglington (w) Paul Marshall (a) Quinton Winter (c) Annie Parkhouse (l)
An interesting beginning and some serious escalation here. Judge Dredd is equal in his justice, but it looks like there is going to be some serious opposition here. I like the real-world nods in this story.
HELIUM // RED OCTOBER by Ian Edginton (w) D'Israeli (a) Annie Parkhouse (l)
Great to see the return of Helium, and I liked the build-up and the quick move into the mission. The attack was interesting and a lot more violent than I expected!
RED DRAGON // THE LLANGENECH INCIDENT by Rob Williams (w) Steve Yeowell & Patrick Goddard (a) Dylan Teague (c) Simon Bowland (l)
An excellent one-shot here with a bit of a nod and wink at the end that can lead into something more, maybe?
I liked the art style, and the action sequences were really well done!
BRINK // THE CALL OF THE VOID by Dan Abnett (w) INJ Culbard (a) Simon Bowland (l)
Some interesting questions being asked here, along with the questioning of Lauren. I get the feeling there is something deeper here - maybe I’m just paranoid with this story. Nevertheless, there is some good build here.
ROGUE TROOPER // ENEMY MINED by Andi Ewington (w) Karl Richardson (a) Rob Steen (l)
An enjoyable Rogue Trooper one-shot here, with some excellent action, some clever work for Rogue and the robot. I like the slight mistrust here, and it all works out well (for Nu-Earth that is!)
