Judge Dredd #23

Mega-City One's toughest lawman looms large on this Kelsey Shannon cover, Dredd bearing down with a clenched fist as a defeated robot lies sprawled at his feet — scattered capsules and glowing eyes suggesting some kind of illicit tech trade gone very wrong. A crowd throngs the neon-lit background, lending the scene the chaotic energy of a place where law is badly needed. With Duane Swierczynski and Nelson Dániel continuing "Black Light District" into its second part, issue #23 promises Dredd at his most uncompromising.
