JUDGE DREDD // THE FIRST 100
by Dan Abnett (Writer) Colin MacNeil (Artist) Chris Blythe (Colourist) Annie Parkhouse (Letterer)
Mega-City One, 2147 AD. Home to over 250 million citizens, this urban hell is situated along the east coast of post-apocalyptic North America, with the irradiated Cursed Earth to the west and the toxic Black Atlantic to the east.

SCARLET TRACES // EMPIRE OF BLOOD
by Ian Edginton (Writer) D’Israeli (Artist) Annie Parkhouse (Letterer)
England, the late nineteenth century. Earth has come under attack by Martian war machines, devastating huge swathes of the country with their heat rays and harvesting enormous numbers of people.
