Judge Dredd: Nordland Rising

THE INTERDIMENSIONAL INVASION HAS BEGUN!

Thanks to advances in Nort technology, War Marshal Josef Jaegir has used the black hole around which Nu Earth orbits as a means of invading other universes. Reaching out to Sov War Marshal Kazan, he’s joined forces with East-Meg One to subjugate Mega-City One, and in other realities the Norts have allied themselves with the alien Krool, the Geeks,the Volgans and the Nazis. It’s a war on all fronts, with Jaegir demanding nothing less than total victory.

Can Judge Dredd and a team of mighty multiversal warriors including, Rogue Trooper, Major Eazy and Bad Company, overcome this overwhelming alliance of evil?

His most recent works are Marvel’s best-selling X-Statix, a vicious pop culture satire, and Vertigo Pop! London, a rock ‘n’ roll tale of the big city.
