The Best Page(s) from Last Week's 2000ad - Prog 2186

[shakalooloo]

Well, with newsagents around the UK open again, I can pick up some comics again, and have that delightful feeling of picking up in the middle of storylines!

Still, one doesn't need context for a page where Judge Dredd is forced to confront something absurd:

Also though, there was an eerily topical story later in the prog. Get bent, Benjamin Franklin:

CoC Week: Judge Giant

[shakalooloo]

Giant Clay was the star player of the Mega-City 1 Aeroball team the 'Harlem Heroes', who had a short-lived sports-focused strip in early 2000ad. When that strip was cancelled, Giant's son began to feature as Judge Giant, a jive-talking sidekick to Dredd back in the late seventies and early eighties. He died somewhat ignominiously, but then his son went on to become a judge as well.

Judge Giant II is still a judge to this day.

As a cadet, he faced down a Dark Judge during the Necropolis incident, 2000ad prog 689:

Alas, this isn't the best sample of what he has achieved in his career with Justice Department, but he has definitely risen to become one of Mega-City One's top lawmen, still going strong to this day.

A comic I nearly missed

And only found out about by accident, but thanks to ebay, now have a copy of!

(And please bear with me, I'm experimenting with Abload as an image host and hope I haven't messed anything up in the process.



This was a collection of short stories from IDW about female characters, and by female creators. There are a couple of stories I'd like to post from, but I'll start with the shortest

DCeased: Hope at World's End #1: "Chapter One"

[alliterator]

"There was a point in [the first] DCeased where we had to make the decision to skip weeks of losses and triumphs and heroism or our first miniseries wouldn't exactly be a miniseries. But we knew we had a larger story to tell, so we seeded plots we could expand on and deliberately left huge characters off the table for the future. That future is here."

The Oracle Code

[leahandillyana]

The Oracle Code is my favourite entry from DC Ink. It's an alternate story of Barbara Gordon who was never Batgirl, and instead as a preteen was accidentally shot during a police chase. Her father, wanting her to get the best treatment, sends her to Arkham Center for Independence, where disabled children learn to live with their disabilities. However, something seems not to be right with the institution, and after investigating Barbara and her friends discover that the released children never left ACI.
