\ APPRECIATE YOUR

CONCERN, JUDGE DREDD, BUT THERE IS A LLAASSEERR

SSCCRREEEENN AROUND THE LL..SS..EE ..\\..BBUUIILLDDIINNGG. IT IS PERFECTLY

CAPABLE OF DETECTING AND NEUTRALISING AANNYY

FORM OF MISSILE ATTACK.

I’M PLEASED TO HEAR IT, RAZZO. ALTHOUGH IT’S

NOT EXACTLY ENERGY EEFFFFIICCIIEENNTT,

IS IT?

IT WAS THE ONLY SOLUTION, GIVEN THE NUMBER OF BOMB THREATS AND PHYSICAL AND VERBAL ASSAULTS ON MY INSPECTORS.

NOT TO MENTION THE RRIIOOTTSS EVERY TIME ONE OFYOUR VEHICLES PULLS UP OUTSIDE A

BLOCK.

I’M NOT SO SURE. I’VE A BADFEELING ABOUT

THIS...

...THEY’RE MAKING UUSS LOOK GOOD. HOW’S

THAT FOR A P.R. MIRACLE?

\ KNOW YOU’VE ALWAYS BEEN

AGAINST THE ‘BBIIGG FFOOOOTTSS’,DREDD, BUT LOOK AT

IT THIS WAY...

WE SHOULD NEVER HAVE GIVEN RAZZO’S ORGANISATION SUCH POWERS. THEY’VE BEEN THROWING

ENTIRE FAMILIES ONTO THE STREET.

NOW IF YOU WILL

EXCUSE ME...

UNFORTUNATELY, THAT IS THE PRICE OF

PPRROOGGRREESSSS, DREDD.

THE CITIZENS DON’TAPPRECIATE THEIIMMPPOORRTTAANNCCEE OF

OUR WORK.

SOUNDS LIKE A LLAAUUGGHH

A MMIINNUUTTEE, MATE.

Planets were twisted into grotesque

sculpture; stars shattered for a single strain of music; galaxies

hurled to collision for no greater effect than a distant

lightshow.

And all of it in MY

name.

The coalition ofRakathuuuuuthathup sealedmy essence into a sutured reality.

They tied it tightand bound me forever.

It ended.

The age of Warathaal

was over.

Alas, my body was atomised

the instant the knot was tied.

Only a fragment of my divine biology - a helixof cosmic DNA - could seal

the prison...or break it.
