Judge Dredd: Deep In The Heart
by Michael Carroll (w) Tiernan Trevallion (a) Annie Parkhouse (l)
Mega-City One, 2138 AD. Home to over 72 million citizens, this urban hell is situated along the east coast of post-apocalyptic North America, where unemployment is rife, boredom universal and crime is rampant.

At certain points in history, these creatures can break through from their dimension and into ours — but something is disrupting the timeline…
Kingdom: As It Is In Heaven
by Dan Abnett (w) Richard Elson (a) Ellie De Ville (l)
Earth, the far future. Mankind has been all but destroyed, those still surviving forced into hiding by Them — insectile creatures that have taken over the world. Charged with protecting humanity are genetically engineered dog-soldiers like Gene the Hackman — savage warriors that patrol the wilderness, keeping Them off their Masters’ lawn. Now, Gene has escaped offworld and been given a home on the Masters’ orbital station…
