Judge Dredd: Well Gel
by TC Eglington (w) Paul Marshall (a) Chris Blythe (c) Annie Parkhouse (l)
Mega-City One, 2138 AD. Home to 72 million citizens, this urban hell is situated along the east coast of post-apocalyptic North America, where unemployment is endemic, boredom universal, and crime is rampant.

Carcer and Caul teamed up to save Caul’s girlfriend Jess Miller and Carcer’s parents from a Hurde ark ship — but Carcer didn’t make it out, and now the Hurde are at war with mankind…
Anderson: Psi Division: The Candidate

Mega-City One, 2138 AD. Psi-Div is a section that specialises in Judges with accentuated psychic talents — from precognition to exorcism, it deals with all manner of unusual crimes. Cass Anderson is Justice Dept’s top telepath, and has recently taken rookie Psi- Judge Flowers, a danger pre-cog, under her wing. Now mayoral candidate Carol Smart has been using her psi-powers to get others to do her bidding, and must be stopped…
