2000 AD: Dark Justice is coming!
Reading time: 1 minute
It's been two years in the making and has become one of the most hotly anticipated 2000 AD series ever - and now Dark Justice is coming! The Dark Judges are returning in a brand new epic story two years in the making - beginning with a bumper Christmas edition of the legendary British comic book, 2000 AD.
Written by Dredd's co-creator John Wagner and featuring exquisite fully-painted artwork from Greg Staples, Dark Justice sees Judge Dredd and Judge Anderson again have to face the quartet of undead alien superfiends from a twisted dimension where life itself was declared a crime - Judge Death, Judge Fear, Judge Fire, and Judge Mortis!
Staples has spent two years painstakingly hand-painting this 11-part story, and having seen the first issue we can say without a doubt, that those two years painting have been worth it.
Judge Death has been missing for years and Fear, Fire and Mortis's brief freedom from confinement during the anarchy of The Day of Chaos was brought to an end by serial killer PJ Maybe, who ignominiously trapped them in three wine bottles. Now, as thousands of rich emigrants board a luxury spaceship to seek a better life elsewhere, they may end up with a deadly cargo none of them anticipated!
Ever since the Dark Judges were created by John Wagner, Alan Grant, and Brian Bolland, they have rightly been Dredd's most popular nemeses - terrifying and unkillable mass murderers wearing freakish mockeries of Judge uniforms who have returned again and again to slaughter their way through Mega-City One, but always finding themselves vanquished by Dredd and Anderson.
This special Christmas edition is packed with 100 pages of brand new content, 2000 AD Prog 2015 features NINE new stories, including one brand new series and the return of some old favourites, from Pat Mills' The Visible Man to the revival of Max Normal ("The Pinstripe Freak" from the world of Judge Dredd), to the political polemic of Mills' Savage, and The Order, a brand new SF/fantasy adventure series from Kek-W and John Burns set in the 13th century.
