    Following the fall of the resistance base, Judge Fairfax is taken to the capital of Deadworld. Ive been enjoying this story, and seeing how people are surviving in this harsh environment. Fairfax takes a backseat here, but instead focuses on Sister Psiren. Psiren is dealing with the effects of how she used to be. Kek-W seems to be planting seeds for things to come. I love the ending, as Fairfax comes face to face with an old friend. Kendalls art is haunting, and makes the capital of Deadworld horrifying. His visuals makes the various characters look decayed, and malformed. The colors go hand in hand with the art, and adds to the mystique of this world. The lettering was good, and I like how the word bubbles would change, when the Dark Judges were speaking. Read Full Review

    Following the fall of the resistance base, Judge Fairfax is taken to the capital of Deadworld. Ive been enjoying this story of the Dark Judges ruling over a dystopian society. This new arc feels like its taking its time to set things up. I like that because it gives time for character development on the people affected from the last arc. There's definitely seeds beingplanted here that may come into play down the line. Kendall's art is haunting and makes the capital of Deadworld horrifying. His visuals make the various denizens appeardecayed and malformed. The colors go hand in hand with the art and add to the mystique of this world. The lettering is terrific, and I like how the word bubbles would change, when the Dark Judges were speaking. Read Full Review

    Bleeding Cool - Joshua Davison Oct 4, 2017

    Overall, this extra-sized issue of 2000 AD is a mixed bag. Slaine, Sinister Dexter, Indigo Prime, and The Fall of Deadworld really hit the sweet spot. Rogue Trooper was pretty good. Judge Dredd was underwhelming, though, and Grey Area was near-intolerable. I can recommend it if any of those first four are really your jam. If you were interested in the rest, its not really worth it, especially at the $5.45 price. If you like Judge Dredd, though, youll still probably want to read Deadworld. In the end, I tentatively recommend the book. Read Full Review
