JUDGE DREDD: THE HARVEST
by Michael Carroll (writer) Nick Percival (artist) Annie Parkhouse (letterer)

Mega-City One, 2141 AD. Home to over 130 million citizens, this urban hell is situated along the east coast of post-apocalyptic North America. With the populace crammed into vast city blocks, unemployment is rife, boredom universal, and crime is rampant. Only the Judges — a zero-tolerance police force empowered to dispense instant justice — can stop total anarchy. Toughest of them all is JUDGE DREDD — he is the Law!

DEFOE: THE DIVISOR
by Pat Mills (writer) SK Moore (artist) Ellie De Ville (letterer)

London, 1668. It is two years since the city was devastated by the Great Fire. From the ashes rose the undead, hungry for the flesh of the living.

HOPE: UNDER FIRE
by Guy Adams (writer) Jimmy Broxton (artist) Ellie De Ville (letterer)

An alternate 1940s USA. WWII is over, victory having been secured by occult means. Now, magic is a part of everyday life, its practitioners commonplace. Mallory HOPE is one such skilled operative, though calling on the dark arts takes its toll on the user.
