Since when we last saw him, Death was floating through space trapped in his Boing ™ bubble, forced to a tortured eternity of reading the entire works of Wordsworth. NICK PERCIVAL: You can eventually expect some more killing of course but there’s a lot to establish first. I guess that’s what the readers want from the Dark Judges – so expect more death.

Editor, Matt Smith, got back to me saying “The story is fine, but can we have lots more people dying.” I’ve been feeling like there is too much hatred and violence in the world so I pitched a story that was all about love and peace. Or at least that’s what we thought until this first episode of Deliverance.ĭAVID HINE: To be honest, I’ve been in a mellow mood recently. Okay then, David, Nick, the Dark Judges return in Megazine 424 with the next instalment of a tale that seems to be bringing them slowly yet surely to Earth. And this time, we even get a catchy theme song to sing along while we read… Ssssssing along kids! Only one way to find out – time to sit down with series writer and artist, David Hine and Nick Percival and talk all things Dark Judgesssss.

So, what can we expect from this new series of The Dark Judges? Will Judge Death escape his Boing prison? (I’m going for a hard yes there) Will everyone live happily ever after? (Nope, not a chance) And perhaps most importantly, will we get the chance to see Judge Death extract suitable revenge on William Wordsworth? Which is pretty much where we are when Deliverance opens – and you know it’s not going to be long before everyone involved is going to be getting the sort of bad dreams that Roscoe is getting… Dreamssss of Dark Judgessss – not good for a hypersleep By the end of that series, we had Dominion destroyed and Death was trapped in a Boing tube – and all seemed well. When we last left the Dark Judges at the end of The Torture Garden, we had seen Judges Death, Fire, and Mortis, later joined by Judge Fear (thanks to those oh so helpful marines coming to ‘rescue’ the colony), go through the colony on Dominion like a good dose of salts. Death wantssss you… Nick Percival’s Judge Death in repose.
