Not like meВ ta be sittinвЂ™ reading a book in coffee shops trying to look remotely intellectualвЂ¦ well, someВ of the time,В but whenever that dreaded bug-hunt should arise, this is the Dirty SF DozenВ that this natural-born-leaderВ would want fightinвЂ™ byВ his sideвЂ¦ Apone.ДЄlright sweethearts, what are you waiting for? Breakfast in bed?!В When the going gets tough, the tough go badassing.В By definition, a badass is someone tough, uncompromising or intimidating. There might be too much here for readers unfamiliar with the bigger story, but if youвЂ™ve been following this tale then itвЂ™s a decent catch up which builds the Rogue Trooper universe even further than before.вЂњGet on the ready line, Marines, get some today! Move it out, goddammit! Get hot!В Move it out, move it out, move it out! Move it out, move it out, move it out! Aaarrrr, absolutely badasses!вЂќ вЂ“ Sgt. ItвЂ™s another catch up episode, as the battle scarred squad come to terms with their current situation and division. We also return to the endless war of Nu-Earth in new story Jaegir: The Path of Kali.

Lines of dialogue about vegan cookery and tobacconist jokes might be about cleverly building character, or might just be filler. ItвЂ™s a simple set up, with a heck of a lot of scene building dialogue.ДЄs ever, I find the 3riller is an odd format, which sometimes takes an episode to go anywhere. So, Mask of Laverna sees the bad guy use a magical mask to track down an ex-partner, whilst the hero gets stoned and enters the psychic realm. To give you some idea of how long ago that was, itвЂ™s the same Prog where Judge Hershey resigned, and the original story referenced Justin Trudeu as a sex symbol. ThargвЂ™s 3riller: The Mask of La verna is a new three pater, but looks to be a sequel to a story that appeared way back in prog 2115. How do you fight a foe who isnвЂ™t just smart and fearless, but who can access any computer or camera? Fast moving, despite having seven speaking characters, and clever despite all the gunplay. ItвЂ™s something weвЂ™ll all struggle with, eventually. The characters struggle with the weird nature of an asymmetrical battle against an all powerful artificial intelligence. In Dexter: Somewhere, Beyond T he Sea, hitman Dexter is on the run from his reanimated former partner. Blake gets called вЂњpredictableвЂќ twice by the bad guy and thereвЂ™s a bunch of face punching, but Paul MarshallвЂ™s art does a lovely thing with a recurring concentric circles. Nick PercivalвЂ™s art really suits the dark and miserable confines of Bleaker Street and the shadowy strewn street levels of Mega City One.Д«lake has a psychic fight with Nimrod in Skip T racer: Eden. How will this one turn out? Too early to say, but I wouldnвЂ™t put money on Judge Tenza being around for long. Old Stoney Face has come up enough ghostly gubbins to know whatвЂ™s what, and has punched supernatural in the face.

ItвЂ™s a decent enough set up, DreddвЂ™s logical inner monologue balanced with the HouseвЂ™s own chilling voice.

With a script by Kenneth Neimand, however, I wouldnвЂ™t be so sure.Дredd and young Judge Tenza chase a gang of kidnappers into an abandoned building and things get scary. Three new stories this week.but is it a goodstarting point for newer readers?Д«rand new Judge Dredd: The House O n Bleaker Street looks like the introduction to a standard haunted house tale.
