Judge Dredd
The Trouble with Harry
A stand-alone strip with one of the best 2000 AD writers pairs with one of the best 2000 AD artists. Funny, satirical and moves fast.

Lawless
Ashes to Ashes
Yay Lawless is back! Reliably one of the best strips in the Meg. This is all setup but it’s beautifully drawn and gets us back into the characters and the dire situation."

Blunt II
Ok I guess this is a Meg for great strips returning. TC Eglington and Boo Cook are a perfect pair for strange, funny scifi with things growing out of people.

Devlin Waugh
Call Me By Thy Name
Skipped until I’ve read the old stuff.

Storm Warning
Over My Dead Body
I usually find Leah Moore’s work a bit tedious but this was a pretty good setup.

The Torture Garden
Hoping this will be a bit better than the recent painterly Dark Judges in space stuff now that David Hine is involved. This is promising!

Anderson PSI Division
This was fine. Very standard story, mostly drawn well.

First Shots

The Sons of Kate Didd
A bit dull, a very average story around some animal/human perps.

See Zammy Run
Fun and well drawn gangster strip with some annoying misogyny.

Cit-Emp
Enjoyed this one a lot even it was half a step from yelling about snowflakes. Dredd vs something nice expected of him is fun.

Tribal!
Funny, silly and slyly satirical - that's some good 2000AD. Energetic art too.

Firestorm
Entertaining but pretty standard action thing.

Sino Town
You can begin and end my thoughts on this by saying that a character called 'Johnny Woo' has two guns and jumps about a lot.
