Cover Art Robot: Mike McMahon

Dredd rocks in on the Lawmaster

My pick of the Prog is: Meltdown Man

Script Robot: Alan Hebden

Art Robot: Belardinelli

Lettering Robot: Jack Potter

Nick Stone is accompanied by two Yujees,Liana and Gruff as they escape the city and head in search of Kinita, leader of the Yujee resistance. On their journey, they reach the VATS – where old, deceased or insubordinate Yujees are sent for”recyclement” and they meet T-Bone, a menacing minotaur that once again reminds me of Stephen King but this time, of Rose Madder.

Prog 180 sent for recyclement! Join me on the next one to see who/what grabs the pick of Prog 181.

Florix Grabundae!
