MEG 438 out now

Judge Dredd Megazine 438 is out now!

Angelic, Devlin Waugh and The Returners all wrap up this issue, plus we have a complete Judge Dredd thriller from Ian Edginton and Dave Taylor, and another eerie Tale From the Black Museum, courtesy of Paul Starkey and Nick Dyer, allowing for a fantastic all-new line-up to start in next month’s Xmas Meg.

Dan Abnett and Phil Winslade reunite for the much-anticipated next series of Lawless, Ballots Over Badrock; having chronicled some of Chopper’s most iconic moments, John Wagner and Colin MacNeil take to the Mega-City skies once again for Surfer as the latest generation of powerboarders become embroiled in a criminal enterprise; we’re back in Brit-Cit for the third and final series of Diamond Dogs, courtesy of regular creators James Peaty and Warren Pleece; and Blunt collaborators T.C. Eglington and Boo Cook team up for the Cursed Earth-set revenge drama Death Cap.

All this, and of course Ol’ Stoney-Face greets the festive season with about as much goodwill as you’d imagine in Saviour by Ken Niemand and Steven Austin. Lots to enjoy as we leave 2021 – and there are plenty more surprises to come in the new year!
