This week's 2000ad prog 2483 and this month's Judge Dredd Megazine issue 492 each begin interlinked stories, with Judge Dredd really out of his element and Mega-City One having to cope with another disaster.
There is a QR code for the story leading up to this (only in the prog, for some reason), and since the first part of each one is extra length, four pages from each is possible to present here!

Manga Khan has returned to Earth with an urgent desire to reclaim L-Ron, the robot servant he once traded away on a whim. But now he seems to need his old aide-de-camp back as badly as he needs to soliloquize. His medication can control the latter need, but not the former. ( For who can fathom the mysteries of the sentient heart? Manga Khan is a pulsing energy being in a metallic shell, yet he feels, he hungers, in ways the rational mind struggles to express! Indeed, if to love, to hate, to SEETHE is considered proof of humanity, then LET THE SPEECH OF ONE SUCH AS MANGA KHAN BE COIN! )

Iman Vellani, known for playing Kamala Khan in “Ms. Marvel,” will make her solo comics writing debut with “Chachu,” a five-issue neo-noir miniseries illustrated by Marianna Ignazzi and colored by Jordie Bellaire, set for release from Image Comics and Tiny Onion on Aug. 5.
Set in 1979, the series follows Leila, a 19-year-old Pakistani-Canadian young woman with a love of film and pulp novels who travels to California to reconnect with her estranged uncle – a semi-retired private eye once celebrated for having married the starlet he was originally hired to find. When that same wife vanishes again, uncle and niece find themselves on an unplanned road-trip investigation, one that pushes Leila’s first taste of adulthood into a reckoning with family secrets and the myths both have built around their lives.

Honestly, deep in my heart, I’m not 100% sure what the big problem is. If my other half was in a hell dimension for four years with a perfectly attractive dude, I’d be like, yeah, fucking go for it. Like, four years in a hell dimension… yeah, you know… -- Al Ewing

Mod Post: Off-Topic Tuesday
May. 19th, 2026 09:26 amicon_ukIn the comments to these weekly posts (and only these posts), it's your chance to go as off topic as you like.
Talk about non-comics stuff, thread derail, and just generally chat among yourselves.
The intent of these posts is to chat and have some fun and, sure, vent a little as required. Reasoned debate is fine, as always, but if you have to ask if something is going over the line, think carefully before posting please.
Normal board rules about conduct and behaviour still apply, of course.
It's been suggested that, if discussing spoilers for recent media events, it might be advisable to consider using the rot13 method to prevent other members seeing spoilers in passing.
The world situation is the world situation. If you're following the news, you know it as much as I do, if you're not, then there are better sources than scans_daily. But please, no doomscrolling, for your own sake.
And that's why I'm not addressing anything from the US right now.
The UK Government looks like it would rather concentrate on ANOTHER internal leadership election, though interestingly, this might lead to more public political acknowledgement of the mess that Brexit has made of the country, ten years after the original vote.
Eurovision happened, though I skipped it completely this year but based on our apparent performance, we'd have probably been just as successful had we submitted this
The Eisner Awards, one of comics most notable award lists (named for Will Eisner the legendary artist, cartoonist and writer) is under scrutiny, after it was realised that one of the contenders for Best Anthology, a collection of stories featuring Golden Age Stardust the Super Wizard, features a story created with AI.
Lanterns got a second teaser, this one showing a little more of the ring's powers, and John Stewart asking some perhaps long overdue questions about the Guardians recruitment policy
And My Adventures with Superman" Season 3 got a new trailer, and a release date: 14th June!
The marketing campaign for new LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight is gearing up, with reveals of many, MANY characters and skins for them. Like the 17 costumes for Robin, and the 14 costumes for Nightwing, including Discowing!

The Roulette character was “rolled out” in JSA #28, which established her basic MO: kidnap and brainwash superheroes (or villains, on a slow night), pit them against each other in gladiatorial games, charge big bucks for attendance, dispose of corpses, repeat. She’s survived this long partly by preying on smaller fish: the sort of third- and fourth-tier costumed characters and superteams you might expect to see die in a crossover book. And since the Super Buddies now fit the definition of “third-tier superteam…”
You see where this is going.
( Mary Marvel and Captain Atom are normally top or second-tier, but they lose points by association. )

More than a decade after they’d left the JLI, Keith Giffen, J.M. DeMatteis, and Kevin Maguire returned in 2003 to do some more adventures with a handful of the JLI characters. Even the series’ old inker (Joe Rubinstein) and letterer (Bob Lappan) came back.
But you can’t go home again, and Giffen and company don’t try to. All the similarities to their earlier work throw the differences into sharp relief. Some of this is intentional: all the ex-JLI characters are in new life situations as we catch up to them, and they’ll face new challenges reflecting their reduced circumstances and shifts in American culture. Other changes…seem more accidental. ( But hey, little incongruities are the stuff of comedy, right? )
