2000 AD Prog 2143 Preview

It's 2000 AD Prog Preview time, and this weeks Prog is absolutely packed with the good stuff! Judge Pin has been a Judge we've wanted to know more about for a while now, and this week we enter the crazed mind of the psychopathic Judge as we learn something of her past in Control. There's also giant-monster smackdown action in Indigo Prime; Anderson tries to convince Karyn not to succumb to the psi-paradise in Martyrs; Avril finally confronts the figure that led her back to Harrowvale in the penultimate episode of Thistlebone; and the grand finale to that cantankerous old copper Harry Absalom in the final part of Gordon Rennie and Tiernen Trevallion's supernatural saga.
