OUT NOW: Judge Dredd Megazine #445

MEG 445 out now

Judge Dredd Megazine #445 is OUT NOW, with more thrills from Judge Dredd, Diamond Dogs, Death Cap, and Lawless – plus a new Judge Anderson story!

Writer Maura McHugh and artist Lee Carter pick up on the aftermath of the Be Psi-ing You one-off published in Prog 2250, and finds Cass and fellow psi Corann Ryan being held under guard at Psi-Division. To keep you up to speed, that story is reprinted in this month’s bagged supplement (the Carter droid taking the opportunity to remaster his artwork to stunning effect) alongside 2019’s The Dead Run series.

Last month’s Dredd story ended with the lawman abandoned on the Black Atlantic seabed, and this Meg we discover what happened to him in the opening episode of Regicide by Arthur Wyatt and Jake Lynch. In addition to that there’s the final instalment of Diamond Dogs, the penultimate part of Death Cap, and the latest chapter of Lawless, plus Paul Cornell and Steve Yeowell reveal all about their new original graphic novel Three Little Wishes, Karl Stock talks to Garth Ennis, PJ Holden and more about the Battle Action special, and he also tracks down more of those 2000 AD creator droids that dropped out of the prog. A packed issue for sure – enjoy, creeps!

Judge Dredd Megazine #445 is out now from all good newsagents and comic book stores, plus digitally from our webshop and apps! Don’t forget that if you buy an issue of the Megazine in the first month of its release then postage in the UK is free!
