The Complete Judge Dredd #9

When the Resistance closes in on deposing the Chief Judge, Judge Dredd finds himself facing an overwhelming new threat—alien hordes summoned by the tyrant’s desperate gamble. With the fate of Mega-City One hanging in the balance, Dredd must hold the line against an invasion that defies both law and reason.

In a moment of surreal bureaucracy, the Chief Judge halts citywide executions to hold a state funeral for his goldfish, plunging Mega City 1 into bewildered silence. Amid the absurdity, Judge Dredd takes matters into his own hands, leading the citizens out of the city in a quiet, determined exodus.

Judge Dredd finds himself stranded on a crumbling road with a tank and no way back, the wreckage of his victory over the Chief Justice’s alien hunters still smoldering behind him. With the ground giving way beneath him, he’s left with nothing but a grim determination and the long drop ahead.
