JUDGE DREDD // Hair of the Dog // Part One
Mega-City One, 2141 AD. Home to over 130 million citizens, this urban hell is situated
along the east coast of post-apocalyptic North America, with the irradiated wasteland
known as the Cursed Earth to the west. Unemployment is rife, boredom universal and
crime is rampant. Tensions rest on a knife-edge and only the zero-tolerance Judges can
stop total anarchy. Toughest of them all is JUDGE DREDD — he is the Law!
SKIP TRACER // Nimrod / Part Four
The Cube, the 27th century. This vast city floating in the depths of space was once a
monitoring station, but has been refitted by the Earth-led Consociation as a solution
to a universal housing problem. It’s now home to every kind of undesirable and wanted
criminal. That’s where SKIP TRACER Nolan Blake comes in, a former soldier turned
tracker, who, after a battlefield injury, was left with powerful psi-abilities…
AQUILA // The Burning Fields // Part One
Following Spartacus’s failed revolt against his Roman masters, his rebel army was
crucified. Amongst these was the slave-turned-gladiator AQUILA, who cried out to the
gods for vengeance — and was answered by Ammit the Devourer, a deity that gifted
him with immortality in return for keeping her fed with evil men’s souls. Now, Aquila
wants to be released from Ammit’s bond, and is hunting for clues to her location…
SINISTER DEXTER // The Frighteners // Part Three
Gun-sharks Finnigan SINISTER and Ramone DEXTER are the best hitmen money can

Having whacked Holy Moses Tanenbaum, a ganglord from an alternate dimension whose presence threatened the fabric of reality, they’ve found killing him reset the continuum, meaning no one knows who they are. Having recently tried to protect an A.G.I. from unknown enemies, Dexter has been injured…
FERAL & FOE // Part Twelve
It is five years after the Last-of-All-War, when the Monarchy succeeded in defeating
the Malign Lord, whose army of creatures sought to eradicate humanity. With their
leader dead, his minions are scattered across the lands, fleeing retribution from the
Wretchfinders. Necromancer Bode and warrior Wrath are two such beings, and have
been offered a deal — hunt and kill their own kind or be declared FERAL & FOE…
