One more episode to go…ĭIAMOND DOGS: BOOK THREE – PART 7 – FINAL PART – James Peaty, Warren Pleece, letters by Simon BowlandĪs Nia Jones says in the first couple of pages, this one’s all about tying up loose ends and making sure the lights are turned out. Obviously, given what’s happened/happening to Goya, you have to see this one as a strip that just can’t have a sequel, but let’s just enjoy it for what it is, how great it is, an exploration of mortality and nature, writer and artist in total synergy. Like I say, it’s just an incredible thing, all credit to TC Eglington for sure, but the collaboration between him and Cook, not to mention all that Cook has brought to the strip is simply amazing. Goya, infected yet not completely taken over, dying but still with fight left in her, has other plans. But it couldn’t be that simple, could it? Well, in this episode you discover that it’s way more complex, with the fully transformed Shaman having a long-term plan to replenish the Fungus, give it even more radiation to feed off, to spread across the entire continent. Yep, Grubb’s Fungus could transform the Cursed Earth. And it all ended with this little revelation… Well, Death Cap really is just sublime isn’t it? Last episode was a revelation from Boo Cook in letting the art carry the story, a stunning piece of work telling the tale across multiple times of the Grubb’s Fungus and its infection of the Cursed Earth. And she doesn’t know where Dredd is – any guesses anyone?īloody great start, bringing it all together so well, the split storylines of Dredd and Maitland coming together, of course, all in pursuit of the Red Queen, with some great writing from Wyatt and a pleasure to see Jake Lynch back on the Red Queen saga as well.ĭEATH CAP – PART 7 – TC Eglington, Boo Cook, letters by Simon Bowland The reason Maitland’s seeing a problem is that Nu Jakarta is effectively Hondo City controlled and, thanks to the Project Providence cock-up seen in recent Megazines, they’ll turn a blind eye to the Red Queen there.īut there’s the risk that Maitland’s getting too close to this one and wants to go in without Dredd, wants to finish it once and for all. Because Wyatt, along with Rory McConville and Rob Williams, has been putting together a lot of out of Mega-City One storylines and created their own complex (yet very enjoyable) political dramas in Dreddworld. Meanwhile, Maitland’s coordinated op on the Red Queen is going incredibly well: “the whole Reine Rouge house of cards is coming down.'”All except one, Nu Jakarta, and that’s where Maitland reckons the Red Queen will be holed up.Įxcept that’s where the problems begin and where everything comes together so well in these Arthur Wyatt Dredds. For Dredd, that didn’t exactly go too well, leaving him stranded on the bottom of the Black Atlantic.Īll of which brings us to the start of Regicide and Dredd waking up in his own little version of Squid Game, trapped in a labyrinth with a lot of loaded combatants locked in some bizarre gladiatorial thing with, it turns out, a load of familiar faces. Last Meg, there was Q-Topia, with Maitland and Dredd off to Koko Cabana, the ape-run casino off Krong Island, Maitland to bring it under MC-1 jurisdiction in another sting against The Red Queen and Dredd in an operation against Quaganon, one of The Red Queen’s hired assassins from The Hard Way.
