JUDGE ALPHA // PORTRAIT OF A MUTANT by Karl Stock (w) Ben Willsher (a) Annie Parkhouse (l)
Dredd and Alpha have teamed up before and this seems a very natural fit. I like the combinations of the worlds and it makes a lot of sense. The story is well told and has a brutal finish.
ROBO-SHARKS by Dan Abnett (w) Anthony Williams (a) Jim Campbell (l)
An interesting mix with some good humour. I like how it gets to the point and it works well with the knowledge of the characters. A good Future Shock finish too!
ROGUE/DOG by James Peaty (w) Nicolo Assirelli (a) Jack Davies (c) Simon Bowland (l)
This is one I could see behind a longer story. Some clever use of the voices and the betrayal. Some good action that suits both Rogue and Alpha in this story.
STICKLEBACK // SECRET HISTORIES by Ian Edginton (w) Paul McCaffrey (a) Annie Parkhouse (l)
This was an involved story that felt longer than it was. There is some interesting concepts here and a dark finish.
HARLEM ZOMBOS by Al Ewing (w) Boo Cook (a) Simon Bowland (l)
Bookending the stories will with some dark humour and action. I love the game format and working out how it is scored!
