That wraparound cover is stunning. Loving the Dark Judges stuff by HIne and Percival - top marks!. One quick thing about the floppy. What happened to the encyclopedia? Is this only going to be an occasional thing?

Managed to grab the last copy my local WH Smiths. Was worried it had sold out. Fantastic issue on first glance. Only read Deliverance yet. Amazing grisly art and looks like a great start to the Torture Garden follow up. Noticed the paper quality inside seems better than usual as well but I'm guessing that's just for this Anniversary issue? Cuppa strong coffee and on to the rest!

That's a great Percival cover and should stand out on the shelves. Loving the Dredd procedural.

Finally (!!) got hold of the prog this morning - late or what?
Will read hopefully before spoilers come online today for next week's 2159 (that didn't arrive)
Stunning, spooky Percival cover art and nice to see him back on Dredd for a while with Michael Carroll.
Kettle's boiled! to be continuned...

Better quality pic!

Got the post today - only read finale of the Torture Garden before i go myself to the garden centre. (See what I did there?). Stunning wraparound cover by Percival. His covers and art on this series has been spectacular each month and this is a great end to the series. A very thoughtful end too. Love this take on the bad boys of Dredd's universe and think they work much better removed from the world of Dredd . Can't wait to see where these two creators, Percival and Hine (hopefully!) take them next. Right! time to buy some top soil and then onto Lawless. To be continued....

Top issue - SPOILER - that headshot in the Torture Garden - ouch! Great image!- (Don't think he's dead, though)... Love this series!

It's compostable though, so helps save the planet

I was thinking maybe that but it still looks bad on the shop shelves. Screw the planet! I want to see the covers, dammit!!   

Got my copy of the Meg today which was a pleasant surprise. Will do a full run down soon (Lawless, great, The Torture Garden, my top story in the issue) but the main thing I wanted to mention was the new bag that the Meg comes sealed in, which started with the last issue. The fact that it's now semi-opaque means you can't really see the cover very well and I'm sure this isn't really going to make it stand out on the newstand or help sales. Being shrinkwrapped every issue (I know it's to keep the floppy in there!) , I always thought must hurt sales, since you can't have a look through it to see if you want to buy it. Don't think this new bag will help. Probably cheaper to produce but not great for the covers. Thoughts?

[Dark Judges - The Torture Garden:]

Dark Judges - The Torture Garden: The crowning jewel of the Megazine! The survivors go for a run in the woods, with horrifying consquences. This series is excellent and once again we see how a new Dark Judge can be done right (see also: the glorious, Deadworld).

Totally agree. Torture Garden has been a great, deep series for the Dark Judges (a very interesting, philosophical take on them), a good spooky new Dark Judge and terrific, insanely detailed art throughout!

The highlight this issue is The Torture Garden, which has an unexpected development. I won't spoil it here, but it's a great idea. I have no idea how this will end, but I'm looking forward to seeing what happens.

Yeah, great episode of The Torture Garden and I didn't see that coming! Excellent throughout and awesome Fear cover by Percival.

That last sequence at the end of The Torture Garden. Just WOW. Spooky and beautiful all in one and finally we get to see.......................you know who

[The Torture Garden]

The Torture Garden is on form as ever, with interesting developments in the story, and of course beautiful art by Nick Percival. Does it finish next issue? Seems like a lot still has to happen before this wraps up.

Thanks - The Torture Garden is 10 parts long, so you're just half way through. More big changes to come (especially at the end of Part 6) - For folks that aren't keen on it - sorry - 5 more months of fun for you!

Keep up the awesome work just love your work on the Dark Judges

Cheers, guys!

Excellent, Nick! Your work on Dominion (the book version was great) and Torture Garden is fantastic, Dripping in mood and atmosphere and you've made the Dark Judges your own and long may it continue after this series. My copy hasn't arrived yet but I hear there's a surprise at the end of this episode?!
