Note: I *hate* how Bluesky autocorrects MEGAzine every single damn time I type it.

Out today! Judge Dread Magazine 485, including a new Armitage story scripted by me, art by @stazjohnson.bsky.social, colours by Quinton Winter and letters by Annie Parkhouse.

There's a serial killer loose in Brit-Cit and everyone's favourite curmudgeon is on strict orders to keep clear...

Lovely preview page of Staz and I’s Armitage tale! Can’t wait to get my hands on my sub copy.

For example, every reference talks about how celebrated he *is* rather than *was* and when people are scoffing at his privilege, no says “RIP though, he did save half the universe and sacrifice himself.” Small thing but makes it feel removed.

Finally started Ironheart. Only watched episode 1 but it’s off to a strong start! It’s really got itself a voice and The Hood is one of my favourite Marvel villains, great to see him in Live Action. It’s a bit weird all the Tony Stark references sound like he’s alive though.

I got a couple of comps in the mail today. I did a cover for issue #4 of the Return To Skull Island comic, & a five part Armitage story I did with writer Liam Johnson starts in issue #485 of the Judge Dredd Megazine.

Wife “Can you make lunch?”
Me “I’m not sure, this one feels pretty pivotal to the story. Might be a long one.”
Wife “It’s a robot dancing to heavy metal?”
Me “Exactly.”

I feel like I’m finally closing in on the end of Death Stranding 2 as the cutscenes have taken on a The Bear quality. They could be twenty minutes, they could be an hour and half. You just never know…

I obviously meant stoked... I swear autocorrect has gone rogue these past few months.

Liam Johnson @liamjohnsontype.bsky.social · 7d

Adding credence to the theory I now work exclusively with people who share the name 'Johnson'...

In all seriousness, I'm so stocked getting to work Staz and I'm thrilled to be playing with my favourite Brit-Cit curmudgeon once again.
