Home to 50 million citizens¸ and still recovering from the decimation of the Chaos Bug¸ this urban hell is situated along the east coast of postapocalyptic North America¸ where crime is rampant¸ poverty is rife¸ and unemployment near universal. Tensions run a constant knife-edge and only the zero-tolerance Judges - empowered to dispense instant justice - can stop total anarchy. Toughest of them all is JUDGE DREDD - he is the Law! Both Chaos Day and the attack by the Titan inmates have left Justice Department's manpower resources severely limited... THE ALIENIST // THE HAUNTING OF HEX HOUSE England¸ 1908.

There is more to her than meets the eye¸ however¸ and she uses her companion Sebastian Wetherall - actually an actor called Reginald Briggs - to divert attention away from her otherworldly powers.

Despite alerting Homeworld's natives that their own planet faces destruction from the God-Star¸ Bulliet's warnings have gone unheeded - until now¸ as drone units start make landfall... DREAMS OF DEADWORLD // FEAR Deadworld¸ a planet similar to Earth in another dimension. Once¸ this world was thriving - but then a psychopathic dentist's son called Sidney was transformed into the creature known as Judge Death¸ and he determined that since all crime is committed by the living therefore life itself should be eradicated.
