Judge Dredd: Black Snow
by Michael Carroll (w) PJ Holden (a) Quinton Winter (c) Annie Parkhouse (l)
Mega-City One, 2139 AD. Home to over 72 million citizens, this urban hell is situated along the east coast of post-apocalyptic North America. Crime is rampant, and only the zero-tolerance Judges — empowered to dispense instant justice — can stop total anarchy. Toughest of them all is JUDGE DREDD — he is the Law! Now, a Siberian mining facility is under attack by nomad raiders, and Justice Department forces led by Dredd have intercepted the distress call. But officers from East-Meg Two have also joined the fray, and together the two natural enemies must defeat the menace…

Sláine: Archon
by Pat Mills (w) Simon Davis (a) Ellie De Ville (l)
Albion. Celtic warrior SLÁINE united the tribes of the Earth Goddess and became the first High King of Ireland, but is now a wanderer. Having journeyed to Monadh to rescue Sinead from the Drune Lords, he’s discovered that they have been experimenting on their own creations, much to the displeasure of the Cyths’ jailer, the Archon Yaldabaoth. Now, having escaped the island, Sláine has learned the truth behind his parentage — that he was fathered by the rogue druid Duban — but he and Sinead have once more been attacked by the Archon’s stone army and the vengeful Cyth Gododin…

Three episodes, one complete, self-contained story — a condensed hit of super-charged Thrill-power beamed to you directly from the Nerve Centre! The vast city of Emporarius is populated by all manner of beings, both human and otherwise, and on its crowded streets magic is in everyday use. Now a criminal gang has infiltrated the notoriously reclusive House of Gilded Peak in a bid to rob it of its fabled treasure — led by Pris, who has the ability to move unseen, she’s recruited disgraced knight Sir Aranchet to get them in. But Aranchet has betrayed them, and the vault appears empty of treasure…

Absalom: Terminal Diagnosis
by Gordon Rennie (w) Tiernen Trevallion (a) Ellie De Ville (l)
UK, 2017. Inspector Harry ABSALOM is an old-school copper — curmudgeonly antiauthoritarian, he’s been with the force for over forty years. Suffering from inoperable cancer, he’s the head of a special squad that enforces The Accord, a diplomatic treaty made in the 16th century between the throne of England and the powers of Hell. Now, he’s preparing to enter The Mills, a demon stronghold, to rescue his grandchildren, and he’s been gathering a squad to aid him in this seemingly suicidal mission. But his masters at the Stylite Club may not be so keen to lose him…
