The Dark Judges return
Today the countdown clock at 2000AD Online came to a close. What replaces it? The warning; “They are here”. Judge Dredd’s co-creater, John Wagner, has unleashed Judge Fear, Judge Fire and Judge Mortis onto Mega-City One. The timing is evil. This happens when the city is already reeling from the impact of the Chaos Bug […]
