Some thoughts on this weeks 2000 AD – Prog 2097 from Rebellion – available digitally and in print. And an awesome front cover!
JUDGE DREDD: THE BOOTH CONSPIRACY
by TC Eglington (w) Staz Johnson (a) Abigail Bulmer (c) Annie Parkhouse (l)
That was a fun read. It’s nice to see the Judges being proactive, not reactive to a threat. In this case, they have got the ‘Sons of Booth’ into a frenzy with a nice plan. it’s well done and thought out. I like the way it was told, and the set up. I’m looking forward to the next issue!

GREY AREA: EVIDENCE
by Dan Abnett (w) Mark Harrison (a) Ellie De Ville (l)
Bullit’s evidence collection seems to be going well, he’s getting closer to the truth.
Meanwhile Kymn and Bitch are working out what they are doing and why, but it seems like they may have a plan….
