ZARJAZ 100-PAGE XMAS MEGA-SPECIAL! You Are Now Entering a Highly Explosive Thrill-Zone! 14th December 2016 Dredd: Boxing Day \[1\] Mega-City One, 2130 AD. This vast urban nightmare on the east coast of post-apocalyptic North America is home to 400 million citizens, every one a potential criminal. With lawlessness rife, only the Judges can prevent total anarchy. These future lawmen are judge, jury and executioner. Toughest of them all is Judge Dredd - he is the Law! Kingmaker: Kingmaker \[1\] The land of the Nine Kingdoms, in a time of legend. Peace has reigned amongst the people for decades after the defeat of Ichnar the Wraith King—but little did they know that the evil threat wasn’t entirely vanquished but merely waiting to rise once more. The undead Ichnar returned along with his Legion of Shadows, and a desperate quest to the Morbid Spyre was required if he was to be finally defeated... Ace Trucking: The Festive Flip-Flop! \[1\] The universe is a big place, and if you want cargo delivered from one planet to another you’re going to need a shipping company you can rely on. Fortunately, there’s ACE TRUCKING CO., the premier courier service for all your transportation needs. Captain of the Speedo Ghost is Ace Garp, and together with his engineer Feek and bodyguard GBH they’re the galaxy’s most tucker truckers! The Order: Wyrm War \[1\] Seventeenth-century France. A man lies on his deathbed, wanting to tell one last story before he passes—a tale of how he became part of a group of warriors known as THE ORDER, who throughout time have been protecting mankind from the Wyrms. At certain points in history, these creatures can break through from their dimension and into ours, and it is up to the embedded members of the Order to repel them... The Fall of Deadworld: Winter Break \[1\] The planet that eventually became known as DEADWORLD was once a regular civilisation existing in a dimension parallel to our own. But the end of days is coming: riots, storms, undead creatures roaming the landscape. Now, Judge Fairfax, formally a part of this world’s brutal Justice Department, is fleeing to a safe harbour, a young girl called Jess under his protection, whose family Fairfax failed to save... Hope: ...For the Future \[1\] An alternate 1940s Hollywood. WWII is over, victory having been secured by occult means. Now, magic is a part of everyday life, its practitioners commonplace. Mallory HOPE is one such skilled operative, though calling on the dark arts takes its toll on the user. He’s also a private investigator, hired for all manner of down n’ dirty jobs, but the one desperate case he wants to close is the whereabouts of his wife and son... Aquila: Mors Venetiae \[1\] Following Spartacus’s failed revolt against his Roman masters, his army of rebels was crucified. Amongst them was the former slave-turned-gladiator known only as AQUILA. Dying a slow death, he cried out to the gods for vengeance—and Ammit the Devourer heard him, offering him immortality in return for reaping the souls of evil men. Now, centuries later, stories are still told about the myth of Aquila... Kingdom: As It Is In Heaven \[1\] Earth, the far future. Mankind has been all but destroyed, those still surviving forced into hiding by Them—insectile creatures that have taken over the world. Charged with protecting humanity are genetically engineered dog-soldiers like Gene the Hackman—savage warriors that patrol the wilderness, keeping Them off their Masters’ lawn. Now, Gene has escaped offworld and been given a home on the Masters’ orbital station...

Edginton sees part of the key to his success coming from good relationships with artists, especially D'Israeli and Steve Yeowell as well as Steve Pugh and Mike Collins. He is best known for his steampunk/alternative history work (often with the artist D'Israeli) and is the co-creator of Scarlet Traces, a sequel to their adaptation of H.G. Wells' The War of the Worlds. With 2000 AD we has written Leviathan, Stickleback and, with art by Steve Yeowell, The Red Seas as well as one-off serials such as American Gothic (2005). His stories often have a torturous gestation. Scarlet Traces was an idea he had when first reading The War of the Worlds, its first few instalments appeared on Cool Beans website, before being serialised in the Judge Dredd Megazine. Also The Red Seas was initially going to be drawn by Phil Winslade and be the final release by Epic but Winslade was still tied up with Goddess and when ideas for replacement artists were rejected Epic was finally wound up - the series only re-emerging when Edginton was pitching ideas to Matt Smith at the start of his 2000 AD career. With D'Israeli he has created a number of new series including Stickleback, a tale of a strange villain in an alternative Victorian London, and Gothic, which he describes as "Mary Shelley's Doc Savage". With Simon Davis he recently worked on a survival horror series, Stone Island, and he has also produced a comic version of the computer game Hellgate: London with Steve Pugh. He is currently working on a dinosaurs and cowboys story called Sixgun Logic. Also as part of Top Cow's Pilot Season he has written an Angelus one-shot. http://comicbookdb.com/creator.php?ID... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ian\_Edgi...
