Joe Hill's The Cape – 1969 | Comics
During the period of Vietnam War in 1969, Captain Gordon Chase was a medevac chopper pilot. While he was serving for US Army, his wife was reading a letter he sent to their kids Eric and Nicky back home. Chase and his friends were having things a bit quiet for a few weeks and thought all of it will be over soon. But war can turn out ugly any second and as they were unaware of the gathering soldiers on waiting to ambush on them, Chase and the troops were having a laugh. Suddenly a bullet hit one of them in the head and their copter was heading for impact from the heavy fire it took from the soldiers below. By the time, they crash-landed, co-pilot Larry got shot. Chase managed to pull the chopper far from the shootout and only three of them were alive.

Impatient to get out of this mess, one of them gets riddled with bullets by enemy forces. The Vietcong fired at their chopper and when paused, Chase throws a grenade, decimating them and starts running with his fellow combat medic behind enemy lines. Whereas, squads were searching for them, a mystery person was looking upon them from above the tree, who seems amused by the nonsensical destruction of war. Eventually Chase and his fellow medic gets captured and they killed the latter. Chase was imprisoned and the next day they throw in the mystery person watching them prior, whom they call a witch. As the world believes Chase is missing in action, he decides to exact vengeance on the Vietcong for his fallen comrades with help from an unexpected source.

Joe Hill's The Cape – 1969

Based on the original work of New York Times bestselling writer Joe Hill (Locke & Key, Wraith – Welcome to Christmasland), The Cape – 1969 is actually a prequel story for Joe Hill's The Cape. This four-part limited series was released on 2013 from IDW, a year after its sequel and it was written by Jason Ciaramella (Oxymoron, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles – Villains). Artist Nelson Daniel (Judge Dredd, Wild Blue Yonder) and Zach Howard (Aliens – More Than Human, Judge Dredd – City Limits) were at the wheels of illustration duty and they did a great job. Although, there are very little space for character development and the overall plot is pretty gory, which makes the book not very suitable for everyone, it is highly recommended for anyone who wishes to get into some solid storytelling.

Judge Dredd – City Limits | Comics

From riot control to robots breaking down, Judge Dredd goes digging deep into the past only to find out disturbing truth.

Mega-City One is a metropolis of the North American territory in 22nd century Earth, which has become a home of 800 million people living there. Among them, there are ordinary citizens of several different classes, highly advanced group of robot workers, a load of the worst lunatics in forms of both ordinary and super-criminals to upset law.

A city with high rate of crime, a band of Judges is the only thing that keeps the balance of peace and anarchy among its dwellers. There is also huge discrimination of status among entire populace that greatly separates elite class of people from poor and sometimes it even creates a major revolt that shakes the entire system to its core.

Advanced robots are deployed to do the chores of these civilians and they are designed not to fail under any circumstances. However, a small malfunction in one of them can create a chain-reaction among many of them that eventually spreads.

A genetically enhanced regenerative tree atop Pleasure Mall called the Paradise Machine is designed to grow fruits and recycle them endlessly. When it suddenly malfunctions by starting to blast off windows and acting hostile by throwing fruits and pulling people off, a small bandit group uses this as a diversion for looting.

Judge Dredd – City Limits | Comics

The shortly arrival of Judges stalled the looters for a while but they quickly escaped using another periodic malfunction of Paradise Machine as a diversion. Judge Dredd was about to get the drop on them but couldn't do it as his firearms got jammed. Outraged by his own failure, Dredd instantly blew up the tree with a High-Ex round.

A group of robots then confronts Judges for this destruction and even charged Judge Tarjay with taser for talking back, leading rest of his colleagues to blow them up all by open firing armor-piercing rounds. Dredd chased those creeps down to sewer and to his surprise, he only found several beheaded corpse of the criminals.

One of the perps was found alive but before he could be arrested and taken in for further interrogation, an ambush blasts his head off on spot. He and fellow Judge Myers believe this robot malfunction is pre-planned. Myers was almost getting his head chewed off by a sanitation robot later on during an escalated Block War.

When following him back at his home, Dredd finds some of his actions suspicious and discovered evidence that led him to believe someone is trying to frame his colleague. He seeks aid from one of his old accomplice Judge Anderson of PSI Division to dig deeper inside this complex puzzle after looking at Myers' case files.

Though Anderson initially finds him clean but then an emergency sends Dredd away on patrol, where he is ambushed and despite Joe shooting back almost immediately, the shooter managed to evade heat-seeking bullets. His attacker who appears to be highly efficient and even Judge-trained, eventually managed to flee scene.

With a little help from Anderson, dark secrets of a bent Judge named Lou Thompson from past came forward while looking through record division. Apparently, Myers was the responding officer when this corrupt PSI Judge was taken down and they suspect Lou has been hiding within his psyche after quietly sneaking inside.

Judge Dredd – City Limits

Popular 2000AD fictional super-cop character Judge Dredd has returned in a brand-new monthly ongoing series from IDW in 2012 and it kick-started with a four-part storyline titled "City Limits" to begin with that collects issues #01-04, plotted out by comic-book writer Duane Swierczynski (Godzilla, Harbinger Wars).

He was aided by Nelson Daniel (Joe Hill's The Cape, Wild Blue Yonder), who took care of all interior arts and penciler Zach Howard (Aliens – More Than Human, The Cape – 1969) has joined to provide cover arts for issues involved. Renowned artist Whilce Portacio (Image United, Spawn) has notably worked on a variant cover.

Robots in Revolt

Swierczynski started a complete new series of inter-connected stories that will lead Dredd to revisit familiar places and encounter many deadly former enemies he already butted heads with before. As always, Judge Anderson provides one of his best supports and fortunately unfolds a sinister plot in works before it was too late.

A team of talented illustrators including Langdon Foss, Paul Gulacy, Brendan McCarthy and Inaki Miranda has worked on back-up stories featuring additional tales. Up next, comes "The Long Fail" from same creators that follow recent events.

It all happened on 3rd June of 2005, the day that was meant to be the greatest day ever in history when most of the world’s biggest communities have finally decided to stop fighting wars and threatening against each other, to finally re-unite as whole collective. As soon as Shirley Wallace is elected president, she brought all leading countries with nuclear weaponries at their disposal to an agreement of complete disarmament with help from brilliant scientists and political leaders. But during this ground-breaking event, a meddling kid of a VIP guest named Spaulding manages to sneak into the nuke oven of Nevada and pressed the danger button that blew it up along with the world. But when the smoke is cleared, all the dead has came back to life as flesh eating zombies.

While this was going outside, in Reno, Nevada, Tom Bennett was working for Silver Star Hotel and Casino as a dealer of Blackjack and since the day he’s been working there, all he could ever think about was to screw fellow waiter Tori. She refused him over and over after but he finally made her drop her pants inside the casino vault one day in exchange for some cocaine and weeds. They get out of the vault after the play and found the whole casino empty without knowing the news of the outbreak caused by that nuclear meltdown. They were only alone for a while and soon the deads starts coming knocking at their doorstep as well as bands of savage scavengers from around. But the real threat presents itself when the flesh-eating brain-dead folks suddenly starts developing intelligence.

Optimus Prime discovers himself on a landscape that resembles to Cybertron but not the one he used to know. He thought he is either in a distant past or future and then remnants of Galvatron's Sweeps confirms him neither. City of Iacon is now full of unknown populace and one of them starts rebuking him until Sideswipe and Whirl shows up. Bumblebee and Rodimus joins them and expresses their concern about the increasing number of Non-Aligned Indigenous Lifeforms, acronymed "NAIL", as they hate The Autobots, accusing them to be the cause of Great War. Matrix of Leadership reveals a cosmic map that may lead them to Knights of Cybertron. For the sake of Cybertron, Optimus Prime must make the ultimate sacrifice and thus, Orion Pax will reborn.

Shortly after Prime's departure, Rodimus decides to follow the map of Matrix aboard Lost Light in search for Knights of Cybertron. Despite Prowl's forecast of no one joining the cause, Rodimus rounded up around two hundred sign ups. As a result of a misunderstanding, Cyclonus and Whirl gets into a brawl and it went quite far till Tailgate bursts from the ground beneath. Failing to stop Ratchet and Chromedome from joining Rodimus' quest, Bumblebee and Prowl sets a plan in motion to thwart the voyage. Lost Light was forced to quantum jump when one of it's rear thrusters explodes, trapping them on the furthest corner of galaxy and a quarter of their crews stranded on space. Meanwhile, a distress message from future Lost Light came too late for an unbeknownst Rodimus.

Transformers – More Than Meets The Eye Vol 01

Releasing from IDW in 2012, the first volume of The Transformers spin-off, Transformers – More Than Meets the Eye monthly ongoing series was plotted by writer James Roberts (Transformers – Last Stand of the Wreckers, Transformers – Titans Return), while artist Alex Milne (Transformers – Megatron Origin, Transformers – Reign of Starscream) and Nick Roche (Transformers – Devastation, Transformers – Sins of the Wreckers) aided him with illustration for the story. The story kicks off with "The Death of Optimus Prime" for a surprise to many but it picked up the right vibe that was needed for it o begin from a new point. Since Rodimus is the current command of Lost Light crews and have Ultra Magnus as his second in command, it's time people will grow into seeing The Autobots working without Optimus Prime as their leader.

Thirty Days of Night | Comics

30 days of night comic
Thirty Days of Night | Comics
For thousands of years, humans believed that Vampires are only a scary mythical creature of darkness who sucks blood and they only exist in the books and fantasy novels. Since people refuses to believe that these very lethal and heinous creatures are for real, it gives the Vampires an advantage what they need to keep the continuation of their existence running. Because, years of absence of these creatures from human-sight may have faded their memory from men’s mind but they are feared and hated by the humans since the "Council of Elders" made their presence known to public ages ago. After struggling for over a millennium, only a few of them made it out to the present led by an elder named Vicente.

Marlowe, one of Vicente’s own kind has raided the city of Barrow, Alaska, during a 30 straight days of polar night to have a non-stop feeding fest with a few of his blood-thirsty followers that made its residents known about the secret presence of them which their race has been keeping under cover for quite some time. Vicente eventually arrives at Barrow upon calling, only to confront and take care of Marlowe later for what he mindlessly did by blowing their cover to the humans and then decides to continue what Marlowe began anyway, so that there is no witness left to tell their tale. Sheriff Eben Olemaun along with his wife Stella Olemaun and a handful of survivors made a last stand against the Nosferatu. The winter may have had weakened them but since the night is young, the creatures of darkness are still to do a lot more to the humans.
