OUT NOW: Judge Dredd Megazine #401

Judge Dredd Megazine #401 is out now!

After the jumping-on issue of #400 we’re back with the second episodes of Lawless, BluntStorm Warning and The Torture Garden, plus there’s a complete Dredd thriller from Rory McConville and Clint Langley!

With Halloween just around the corner – Nick Percival’s ghoulish wraparound cover for this Meg seems nicely apposite – there’s another Scream & Misty Special demanding your attention, following on from last year’s successful resurrection of the McNasty brand, and we catch up with some of the creators getting their creep on (and if you want some classic Scream! chills, check out volume one of the collected The Thirteenth Floor). 

We also have a peek this issue at the brand-new roleplaying game Judge Dredd and the Worlds of 2000 AD, which allows you to create all manner of adventures in the Mega-City One sandbox. It’s currently being funded on Kickstarter – it blew through its initial goal in nine minutes! – so take a look at worldsof2000ADrpg.com.

Don’t forget that if you buy this issue in print direct from our webshop within the next month you’ll not pay a penny in postage fees in the UK! And if you subscribe to the Megazine you’ll get a FREE print of each month’s cover with each issue!

JUDGE DREDD // QUARANTEENS
by Rory McConville (w) Clint Langley (a) Annie Parkhouse (l)
Mega-City One, 2140 AD. This vast urban hell on the east coast of post-apocalyptic North America is home to over 100 million citizens. Unemployment is rife, boredom universal, and crime is rampant.

by Dan Abnett (w) Phil Winslade (a) Ellie De Ville (l)
Colonial Marshal Metta Lawson was appointed to the frontier township of Badrock on the planet 43 Rega, intent on stamping her authority on the colony.

by John Wagner (w) Nick Percival (a) Annie Parkhouse (l)

BAGGED REPRINT: Johnny Woo: A Bullet in the Head – Gordon Rennie (w), PJ Holden, Patrick Goddard, Dylan Teague (a)
JOINTLY GOVERNED BY THE BRITS AND SINO-CIT, HONG TONG IS A PLACE WHERE the line between free trade and rampant criminality is narrow. Inspector Lieu Chan Yeun of the Sino-Cit People’s Justice Ministry walks that line every day, leading a double life as hitman Johnny Woo, enforcer for the Hong Tong Triads… Blistering bullet-sprayed action from writer Gordon Rennie (Jaegir) and artists PJ Holden (Rogue Trooper) and Patrick Goddard (Sniper Elite)!
