Judge Dredd is submerged and fighting for his life on this striking 2013 prog, with massive pink tentacles coiling around him as he pushes back against what the cover text calls a "tentacled terror." Carl Critchlow's underwater scene — rendered in moody teals and deep greens contrasted against those vivid, writhing limbs — captures Dredd in full diving gear, bubbles rising as the creature bears down on him. Inside, Rob Williams writes and Critchlow illustrates "Scavengers Part Two," promising more of whatever deep-sea menace has Mega-City One's toughest Judge on the back foot.
