Judge Dredd Classics: The Dark Judges #[nn]

This 2018 IDW collection brings together stories centered on the terrifying Dark Judges, and the cover sets the tone perfectly — a lone armored figure stands with weapon in hand, her back to the viewer, facing down two of those nightmarish beings: a bat-winged demon and a skeletal, plague-masked figure, with a flaming skull blazing ominously in the background. The gold-and-black palette gives the whole image a brooding, ceremonial weight that feels entirely appropriate for Mega-City One's most feared supernatural adversaries. At $19.99, it's a solid way to experience some of Judge Dredd's most chilling confrontations in one handsome volume.
