Judge Dredd #5

Two armored Judges face off against each other in a tense, red-soaked standoff on Mike Avon Oeming's striking cover — Dredd thrusts his Lawgiver directly toward the viewer while a second Judge looms behind him in a crimson suit, the confrontation captured with raw, kinetic energy. The banner "Judicial Standoff!" says it all, promising that 1994's fifth issue of DC's Judge Dredd series is anything but a routine patrol. With writer Andrew Helfer and a talented artistic ensemble bringing "48 Hours - Night One: Nightwork" to life, this is a compelling entry in Mega-City One's grittiest ongoing series.
