A unexpected treat -- the first prog of the New Year arriving in a timely manner.
Cover: hmm ... a bit less striking than the usual Cliff Robinson covers.
Dredd: a pretty typical Michael Carroll scene-setter with the usual (slightly irritating) machine-gun-style introduction of new characters. Anyway, nice to see it building on a half-forgotten plot device from long ago. What is the significance of [spoiler]Cadet Odessa[/spoiler]? Could this link back to Carroll's [spoiler]Dredd tale The Forsaken from roughly 8 years ago[/spoiler]? Lovely to see Will Simpson back.
Durham Red: sorry, not doing it for me.
Slaine: I've long felt that Slaine ran out of steam decades ago. However, there's no denying that the artwork is terrific and Mills' writing is great here.
Proteus Vex: Jake Lynch has done such a good job that I hadn't even noticed the change of artist until someone pointed it out. Enjoyable techno-gibberish!
Hershey: as so many have already stated, this really should have used new characters (leaving Hershey gracefully dead). Beautiful art but not sure where this is going.
