Judge Dredd #4

Dredd stares down the barrel of a heavy weapon aimed directly at him, his armored fist clenched around a grenade as smoke and debris billow around the standoff — it's a cover that puts the Law in the crosshairs with cool, gritty confidence. Garry Brown's linework captures Mega-City One's lawman at his most unflinching, making "We've Got You Now Pt 2" feel like exactly the kind of corner-backed-into situation Dredd was built to punch his way out of. Duane Swierczynski and Nelson Dániel's IDW run continues to deliver the goods in this 2013 installment.
