Judge Dredd » Citizenship (Part 1)
Writer: Rory McConville Art: Jake Lynch Colour: John Charles Letters: Annie Parkhouse

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 polluted Black Atlantic on one side and the irradiated wasteland that is the Cursed Earth to the west. The populace is crammed into vast city blocks, and unemployment is rife, boredom universal, and crime is rampant. Only the Judges — empowered to dispense instant justice — can stop total anarchy. Toughest of them all is JUDGE DREDD — he is the Law!

Recruiting the locals to aid their Shrike troopers, the Thorn are hunting down all those with magical abilities, a power they’ve been strip-mining for their own ends. Wizard Ablard, ork Crixus and dryad Princess Yarrow believe they may have the means to stop them…

The mid 21st century.

Kymn and Bitch, thought KIA, were actually seconded to a black-ops unit led by an insane bigot named Grell. It’s believed he’s going to disrupt the imminent Congruence talks…
