Judge Dredd #25

The cover of this 2014 IDW issue is designed as a front page of The Mega-City Times, declaring Judge Dredd a fugitive in bold, urgent headlines — a clever conceit that immediately signals a world turned upside down. The inset illustration shows an armored Dredd in action, while a "wanted" lineup of helmeted Judges runs along the bottom, the whole spread framed with breathless newspaper copy about a city-wide manhunt. With cover art by Mark Torres and a story by Duane Swierczynski, this opening chapter of "Mega-City Manhunt" promises a Dredd story where the law itself has become the enemy.
