Welcome back to your weekly blast of pulsepounding excitement, Terrans, courtesy of me and my rivet-bustingly busy creator-meks. This prog we reach the zarjaz finales of both The Devil’s Railroadand Feral & Foe, plus there’s the latest instalments of Judge Dredd, Enemy Earth and Thistlebone,as well as a tribute to Nikolai Dante and The Order artist John Burns, who — as I reported last issue — sadly died at the end of December.

If you haven’t yet picked up Judge Dredd Megazine 464, which hit the shelves a week ago, then I highly recommend you do so, because there’s no less than five new stories contained within its pages. There’s the start of new Dredd thriller Ravenous by Mike Carroll and Anthony Williams, the debut of Calhab heavy-weapons team Harrower Squad by David Baillie and Steve Yeowell, a complete Tale From the Black Museum by David Barnett and Lee Milmore, plus new IDW Dredd in the shape of Under Siege, and Si Spurrier and Conor Boyle’s Hookjaw.

All this and Spector, DeMarco, P.I., interviews and more!
