Amazing stuff this month. I reckon the top 5 are all worthy winners, so hard to put one above another.

1: Andy Lambert - The night the law died. This one hit me like no other, such a great homage, so atmospheric and beautifully executed. And as MikeD said, love the boot.
2: Echidna - Self-destruct. There's so much potential energy in this, just fantastic. You really feel Dredd straining for that button and oblivion.
3: Adrian Bamforth - Dredd and Vienna. What better way to finally show Joe's face.
4: Nic Freeman - He ain't heavy. Great style, just 'right'.
5: Mark Higgins - Judge Dead. Beautifully done. What a talent.

HMs:
Saint of Killers - Death of Dredd. Superb image, would have loved to include in the top 5.
Steven Denton - The old judge.
Uwe DeWitt1 - Death of Dredd.
Trevor Denham - Dredd and the dragoons.
James Newell - The full weight of the law.

Well done to all and a big thanks to CFM for all his efforts.

1. Bhuna - Nicely rendered; if anyone was going to get the better of Dredd it'd be Death himself.
2. Awesomeheroblue - Great imagination and creativity; a talent in the making.
3. James Newell - Amazing presence, you can feel the strain and weight from here.
4. Mark Higgins - Lovely drawing and who's the mystery shadow?
5. Uwe de Witt1 - Very atmospheric and no mistaking that skeletal chin.

HM - MikeD2 - Full of action and nice touch with the inverted inking.

In fact HMs to everyone; after what could have been the death knoll of the competition; it's great to see the range, talent and sheer number of entries, amazing community spirit and I feel blessed to be a part of this Month's pool.

And a big thank you to CFM for all his drive and commitment; hoping from how the Month started compared to now has given you renewed faith 😄
