The fine folks over at IDW, in partnership with Tharg the Mighty and 2000 AD, have given us an exclusive look at next week’s issue of “Judge Dredd”. While we cover the UK version of the lawman every week in Multiver-City One, this American take is just as packed with thrillpower, as you can tell from the pages below.
Writer Duane Swierczynski and artist Nelson Daniel just got through putting Dredd and his city through the paces of a full-blown assault from not only the fan-favorite Dark Judges (Death, Fear, Fire, and Mortis) but a baker’s dozen of new Dark Judge recruits in ‘The American Way of Death’, which ended in issue #20. Last month’s one-off Judge Anderson issue with artist Shane Pierce tied up a few loose ends with her, leaving issue #22 as the beginning of a new story arc and new status quo for Mega-City One, a great place to jump on and see what you’ve been missing with artist Stephen B. Scott onboard!

The only man who can cross the border is Judge Dredd, so it’s up to him to single-handedly rescue the Chief Justice and the Council of Five, who are trapped inside and fighting for their survival. Meanwhile, there’s a new Acting Chief Justice, and he’s got a whole lot of “reform” in mind…
Check this out when it hits shelves on August 20th!
