Judge Dredd #2

From Wagner, Ezquerra, Fraser, and McNeil comes this French-language collection published by Delirium — Les Liens du Sang ("Blood Ties") — and the cover alone makes a striking promise. Three armored Judges, each in the unmistakable helmet and gold-shouldered uniform of Mega-City One's law enforcers, advance out of the darkness with weapons blazing, their postures radiating the kind of grim authority that defines Dredd's world. Whether the trio represents clones, allies, or something more complicated is part of the intrigue, and it's a genuinely compelling image for any fan of hard-edged future-law comics picking this up in 2016.
