Predator Vs. Judge Dredd Vs. Aliens – Splice and Dice | Comics

An ultimate sci-fi crossover pits extraterrestrial Aliens, Predators and Judge Dredd of Mega-City One for APOCALYPSE PARTY!

A lone Predator was running through a swamp area under the dark of night and while they are known throughout the galaxy for being big game hunters, this one is being hunted and has been vitally wounded. Soon, it is incapacitated by a group of mutant animals surrounding him and knocked him senseless for trespassing.

Before taking him to their master, they took a short tour of his ship to discover all the trophies and weapons he collected and are sent back to their complex. Among those prized possessions, there was a skeleton of a Xenomorph Alien to usher their doom!

Meanwhile, Judge Dredd was in pursuit of same chaos and corruption that plagues Mega-City One with three other Judges including his long-time partner Judge Anderson of Psi Division. They arrived far into damned wasteland of Cursed Earth, looking for a group of fugitives on run and intend to serve justice by arresting them all.

Dredd bumped into one of those apocalypse cultists and his fellow Judges made quick work of them but unfortunately, their leader and robo-messiah Archbishop Emoji takes advantage of this distraction and escapes into Alabama Morass to avoid capture.

The mutant group of Ani-Men takes all extraterrestrial belonging of Yautja ship to a lab of an evil genius named Dr. Niels Reinstöt. He then reveals his agenda to the captured Predator that he has already created a Facehugger using Xenomorph DNA from the skull by gene-splicing and intends to use it as a living host to hatch a Predalien.

However, he is interrupted by his Ani-Men, who came to inform him about more trespassers and Reinstöt recalls a history with legendary lawman of Mega-City One seeing Dredd but it was a group of Yautjas looking for their missing friend that worried him.

Returning from a hunt, these Predators came here tracking down a distress signal from their fallen comrade. They also detected traces of Dredd and his allies chasing down Emoji, which ended up in the robot being shot down but before his Lawgiver could deliver final sentence, all four Judges are ambushed by Reinstöt's mutated Ani-Men and taken captive.

Preparing for another hunt on this blue planet, the pack of hunters immediately go looking for their missing friend in cloak and let loose a merciless red rain of blood upon Ani-Men mutants by ruthlessly raiding their very compound, killing anything in sight.

Back in Reinstöt's lab, Dredd recognizes him as a mad-scientist from Mega-City One that he seemingly killed long ago but he is assured it was a decoy. Judge Anderson peeks into his mind to find pure evil but it was too late since he injects McCrary with a formula that transforms him into a vicious Alien creature and put a Facehugger on Gilligan.

Seeing other hunters approaching, the mad doctor attempts to escape taking Anderson along to run more experiments on her later. Leaving Dredd with two deadly Xenomorph hybrids to die while he takes the party to densely populated Mega-City One in a ride with his new best buddy Emoji and raise hell by unleashing Apocalypse!

Predator Vs. Judge Dredd Vs. Aliens – Splice and Dice

A four-issue limited series from Dark Horse Comics and IDW, "Predator Vs. Judge Dredd Vs. Aliens" sets up stage for triple threat battle royale of ultimate science-fiction characters by writer John Layman (Aliens – Inhuman Condition, Army of Darkness/Xena – Warrior Princess) and artist Chris Mooneyham (Five Ghosts, Predator – Fire and Stone).

Before moving from sci-fi based British comic-book magazine 2000 AD to IDW in 2012, Judge Dredd had two crossovers with Dark Horse Comics' two crown jewels, Aliens and Predator. The first time it was Predator Versus Judge Dredd in 1997 and then in 2003 Judge Dredd Versus Aliens: Incubus limited series came out.

An Epic Face-Off

Layman borrowed some previously introduced elements like Predalien from Aliens Vs. Predator: Requiem movie as well as came up with an unique idea of transforming a host immediately by injecting a DNA serum. Also, protagonist Dredd recalls his encounter with both Yautja and Xenomorphs from his previous crossover adventures.

Primary antagonist and evil geneticist Dr. Niels Reinstöt being a mad geneticist allowed for a different takes at new Alien hybrids to challenge our hero. Besides, the villain himself is a human/spider cross being because of his vile experiments upon himself and at the endgame; he becomes something more sinister than his expectation.

Judge Dredd – The American Way of Death | Comics

Right after Judge Dredd is banished to moon, the Dark Judges has returned to Mega-City One to turn it into a city of dead.

Previously, Judge Tarjay went rogue by starting a killing spree of Judges and managed to frame Judge Dredd for colluding with him that earned him a life sentence on Titan moon. Dredd only made a fake confession in order to save his colleague Judge Anderson of Psi Division but it was too late for her and made way for Dark Judges to return.

Their leader Judge Death leads way to a slaughter at Grand Hall of Justice and all attempts of stopping him remains futile. Chief Justice barely made it out with Judge Cal with a few others but remaining officers fall victim to Judge Fear and Judge Mortis.

Judge Karyn reports back to Omar from streets of Mega-City One on Judge Choke, Fistula, Skinner, Sleep, Sludge and Stigmata as they terrorize its citizens. Her attempts of engaging Burroughs was cut short when he dropped a structure on her and then sees a group of people building a humanoid like formation, calling it Metastasis.

Seeing things getting out of control, Judge Cal suggests to Chief Justice that they abandon Sector One and destroy it with air-strikes before declaring an immediate martial law to all neighboring sectors. An announcement of relocation was made based on priority class and all the bottom dwellers knew that they are surely drokked now!

Back on Titan, prison moon of Saturn, Dredd arrived for his sentence during an ongoing revolt and reluctantly goes out with a laser whip to restore order. He came across someone who he thought to be former Judge Harvies but suddenly blown up before exchanging more words and is taken into a secure location to tend to his injuries.

Surprisingly, Judge Omar showed up at their doorstep bearing news of how Sector One has been taken over by Dark Judges upon being transported on Titan by Judge Blank. Whom he thinks as Harvies is a girl named Pachoda living in his body after she was tricked and they both decides to get back to Earth even for different reasons.

No sooner had they faced Blank, it sucked them in together and Dredd saw that "Harvies" was telling truth after all. By the time they arrived, Sector One of Mega-City One has been decimated beyond recognition and unaware of their arrival, Judge Cal orders to raise containment shield halfway through evacuation of its populace.

Nearing its wall, they saw Metastasis approaching towards them and real "Harvies" begging for their help. After taking on Judge Choke without any firepower, Dredd blew up Sludge and Pachoda ran to secure her real body but smacked away.

Meanwhile, Karyn informs Chief Justice about picking up signals of Joseph Dredd when she tried to contact Omar and it prompted Cal to secretly order any remaining officers there to capture Joe. Apparently, Dark Judges are having some trouble controlling Blank, probably because it was using host body of deceased Judge Anderson.

Sleep tried to confront Pachoda without much effect but Stigmata managed to influence her. Joe allowed to be arrested in order to meet Chief Justice and make everyone listen to him for once. He took everyone to the deserted land of Cursed Earth where he previously encountered a being that can actually save Mega-City One right now.

Joseph Dredd has been going through a lot since his partner seemingly died and many of his colleagues killed by a rogue Lawman. However, he found his way back to serve justice on his beloved city once again and though he was unable to save it from destruction, he is hell-bent on avenging it even at the expense of his own life.

Bonus back-up stories from previous adventures have started to connect threads and all coming together nicely as well. "The American Way of Death" collects issues #17-20 from the monthly comic-book series and takes us to "Black Light District" up next for drawing a conclusion to a reign of chaos on Mega-City One led by Death himself.
