The Return of Kyle Asher: A Gripping Story of Justice and (maybe) Redemption in Mega-City One
Reading time: 1 minute
The brand new noir masterpiece from two of 2000 AD's best new talents, Judge Dredd: The Penitent Man collection, will be released on Wednesday, March 13th!
Former Judge Kyle Asher has returned to Mega-City One after serving twenty years in a penal colony on Titan. Despite working as a third-class sludge technician, he is determined to prove that he can still serve the city he once swore an oath to.
However, Judge Dredd is sceptical of Asher's intentions and questions whether a penitent man can truly exist in a place like Mega-City One. Meanwhile, the SJS, the Judges Internal Affairs division, are determined to run Asher out of town, and Dredd wants to know the reason why.
Widely acknowledged as one of the best current writers on the legendary and long-running Judge Dredd, Kenneth Niemand is joined by artist Tom Foster, who, since winning the 2000 AD talent search in 2013, has gone on to become a fan favourite - with a style that combines the meticulous inking of Brian Bolland and the noir stylings of Howard Chaykin.
'A Penitent Man' is their modern classic, a brooding slow-burn rumination on justice, guilt and a system that can neither forgive nor forget...
Judge Dredd: A Penitent Man will be released on 13th March 2024, with pre-orders available now on the 2000 AD webshop!
