2000 AD #1815

Prog 1815 of 2000 AD puts Judge Dredd front and center, riding hard on his Lawmaster through a lurid, neon-green cityscape as he leans out with gun raised — dark mechanical shapes loom on the right and a disembodied red hand flies off to the left, suggesting the chaos he's just torn through. The tagline "Hit the Sked with the 22nd-Century Cop!" sets the tone perfectly for this 2013 issue, with cover art by Darren Douglas that crackles with kinetic energy and grim futuristic atmosphere. Inside, Robbie Morrison and artist-inker-colorist Peter Doherty bring "Heller's Last Stand Part Three" to the page, with lettering by Annie Parkhouse rounding out a solid creative lineup.
