Judge Dredd: Icon
by TC Eglington (w) Colin MacNeil (a) Chris Blythe (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. Unemployment is rife, and crime is rampant. Only the Judges — empowered to dispense instant justice — can stop total anarchy. Toughest of them all is JUDGE DREDD — he is the Law! Now, a Chaos Day memorial statue is being built, and certain individuals are capitalising on the unrest…

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, the Archon has awoken and unleashed his army of stone warriors…

by John Smith (w) Lee Carter (a) Simon Bowland (l)
The multiverse. There are an infinite number of parallel realities, and all need managing in case of dimensional instability.

Now, the majority of IP’s Imagineers have been sent into psychic toxic shock following the Christhulhu event…

But whacking Tanenbaum has reset the continuum, meaning no one knows who they are…

Grey Area: Homeland Security

The mid 21st century. Earth has a heavily armed defence network, and any ETs arriving on the planet are housed in the Exo Segregation Zone, known as the GREY AREA, which is policed by squads of Exo Transfer Control officers like Captain Adam Bulliet and his team — wife Birdy, linguist Kymn, weapons expert Feo, and alien transfer Resting Bitch Face. Now, they must head into the Red Zone in Old Kuwait to stop hostile forces…
