Time once again to engage your Thrill-receptors, Terrans, as the Galaxy’s Greatest Comic is back to blast open your imaginations and transport you to worlds beyond the known universe. Two new stories join the line-up this prog alongside Dredd, Full Tilt Boogie and Thistlebone — first up, we return to Deadworld for the concluding half of Retribution, which took a break in November last year, as Judge Eastwood and co team up with the remains of a Sov squad to take on Sidney De’Ath (currently inhabiting the corpse of his father!).

Also back is Indigo Prime, exactly one hundred issues since its last appearance, with a prologue story before the series kicks off proper next week. The multidimensional troubleshooting company has been taken over by rival corporation ICP, and founder Clive Vista has been killed alongside most of his personnel, but the wily CEO may just have set up a plan to insure IP’s secrets are not stolen — one involving Sauron mercenary Tyranny Rex…

So there’s folk horror, apocalyptic destruction, space/time weirdness and law enforcement all in thirty-two pages… that enough for you, humes?
