JUDGE DREDD // FLAMES AND WHITE PHOSPHOROUS by TC Eglington (w) Paul Marshall (a) Quinton Winter (c) Annie Parkhouse (l)
A bittersweet ending that was well worked. There is the possibility that some of the characters can be revisited in the future, too. This was an excellent shift in tone and story.
BRINK // THE CALL OF THE VOID by Dan Abnett (w) INJ Culbard (a) Simon Bowland (l)
While the conversations are interesting in this arc, and this issue seems to do some excellent character building, it’s the final panel that makes this interesting and adds a darker tone to the story - really well played!
SILVER // MALIGNANT by Mike Carroll (w) Joe Currie (c) Simon Bowland (l)
Some interesting aspects of the rebellion and the fight against the insurgents, while Silver gets better, it looks like we are going to see what this arc is all about - it should be an interesting battle!
FUTURE SHOCKS // CREATURE FEATURETTE by Lilith Allen (w) Philip Read (a) Rob Steen (l)
I really enjoyed this Future Shock, although I could see where it was leading! There is some fun art and clever expressions, leading to an amusing finish - hardly any dialog too, which is a brave choice!
HELIUM // RED OCTOBER by Ian Edginton (w) D'Israeli (a) Annie Parkhouse (l)
Out of the frying pan and into the fire! With an interesting setup and some new foes to deal with, things look grim. It feels very twisted, and I’m looking forward to finding out more here!
