Judge Dredd Megazine #472 out now

Judge Dredd Megazine #472 is OUT NOW!

Welcome to the second half of the epic Nordland Rising Event – I trust you’ve already read 2000 AD Prog 2400 (if you haven’t, stop right here and consume the first part of this crossover before continuing) and are ready for an interdimensional team-up between some of the Galaxy’s Greatest most iconic characters as they fight back against the invading Norts.

Dredd’s put together three strike teams, each with a target that will take out the heads of the opposing forces, but are they prepared for just how ruthless the enemy is…?

For the latter portion of the issue, we’ve got complete Tales From the Black Museum and Dept K stories, plus the latest instalment of Pandora Perfect, as well as chats with cover artist Jim Murray and Nordland contributor Neil Edwards, and Herne & Shuck writer David Barnett talks about his new folk-horror novel Withered Hill.

Add to that the start of the last of the IDW miniseries, False Witness, and it’s an undeniably explosive issue!

Judge Dredd Megazine #472 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!

NORDLAND RISING // PROLOGUE

Thanks to advances in Nort technology, War Marshal Josef Jaegir has used the black hole
around which Nu Earth orbits as a means of invading other universes. Reaching out to
Sov War Marshal Kazan, he’s joined forces with East-Meg One to subjugate Mega-City One,
and in other realities the Norts have allied themselves with the alien Krool, the Geeks, the
Volgans and the Nazis. It’s a war on all fronts, with Jaegir demanding nothing less than
total victory.

Meanwhile, Venus Bluegenes has used a d-jump device to hop between the universes
and recruit fighters from the various affected realities – Bad Company, the V.C.s, Captain
Constanta and his Fiends, Major Eazy – and brought them back to MC-1. Now, Dredd,
Anderson, Rogue Trooper and Atalia Jaegir – rebelling against her father – have assembled
strike-teams to go after the enemy…
