This isn’t the ”Best of John Wagner’s Judge Dredd”. Perhaps a series of volumes of the greatest Wagner Dredd would be better, a filleted version of the Mega Collection? ……But I digress. ![]() Clearly they were never going to include the epics uch as “Necropolis” and “The Pit” in this volume, or the acclaimed medium length ones such as “Mandroid”, the ones that are long enough to warrant their own collection, and doubtless Squaxx will be writing to Tharg complaining of the omission of their favourite wagner Dredd.

![]() ![]() Both OwlCrate and Illumicrate featured this book in November of 2022 and I completely understand why. I have some theories, and I cannot wait for the sequel, the Hunting Moon, which is scheduled for release in November 2023! Pictured here is the cover and naked hardback of the OwlCrate edition of the Luminaries. This was an instant hit for me, which I thought maybe it would be based on the reactions of people with similar taste, but I am so so glad that it was! I almost read it in one go, but unfortunately had to give in to sleep. The luminaries protect the humans from these supernatural threats in a very tight-knit community. Super natural creatures or not, school is still required. She’s also a teenager and being an outcast due to family drama is not great for getting through high school. There’s magic and monsters in the dark forest and Winnie Wednesday just wants to be fit in again. The Luminaries is a contemporary/paranormal fantasy. ![]() |
