It’s an issue of endings and new beginnings. Well, more like one ending and a lot of multi-part stories.
Harlem Heroes whimpers out of the series, hopefully for good. Tully has this terrible moment where the Heroes mourn a lost teammate, then jump for joy at the thought of their next adventure.
Finley-Day reveals the Scots are the only ones in the UK able to keep out the Volgans but even they need Savage’s help. Okay art from Dorey and it moves well.
Something’s off with Solá’s art on Shako though. It should be fun–Wagner has Shako attacking people in the hospital, including the evil nurse.
The Future-Shock is fine. Nothing special.
MACH 1 actually has Probe fighting an evenly matched opponent; Redondo’s art is hurried though.
Gibson’s art is just great on Dredd, however. He does a great job and Wagner keeps it moving well.
