Judge Dredd the Complete Case Files Volume 30 is a conundrum between covers! It is both one story, an epic 20+ part megaprog written by John Wagner and drawn by a cabal of top 2000AD artists, and it is also two stories, with two different protagonists, told across two different magazines! It is truly awesome and it is truly underwhelming! It is something Jeff and Graeme both agree about, and also kind of fight over? How is this volume such a riddle? Tune in and find out!

John Wagner is still in full effect, but seems committed to breaking some of the habits accrued through years of writing Dredd with stories like The Exterminator, Escape from Kurt Russell, and some hilariously dark takes on Mega-City One. But there is also Morrison and Millar on a Crusade to craft big, dumb power riffs with our number one law man. We talk about all this and more in our nearly two hour episode!
