The stories inside include:
DEMARCO P.I.: SNAKE OIL
Story, Art and Letters by Hannah Templer
Galen DeMarco entered the Academy of Law to give her life a purpose, however she was unfairly expelled from the Academy. The incident didn’t stop her from wanting to help people, so she set herself up as a private investigator. DeMarco tackles cases that Justice Department can’t or won’t touch, helping out the unfortunate and needy, and she still keeps in touch with her friends from the Academy – straight-edge Barbara Hershey and psychic Cassandra Anderson.
WALTER THE WOBOT: DON’T BE CWUEL
Story, Art and Letters by Roger Langridge / Colours by Pippa Bowland
Built by the Interglobal Hardware Company, Walter the Wobot first served Mega-City One’s Justice Department, but through a series of misadventures he worked his way into becoming a free citizen! Or at least the Judges didn’t want him around anymore… Now, the meek drinks dispenser droid works to serve the citizens of Mega-City One, but he yearns forother experiences…
DEVLIN WAUGH: WEDDING HELLS
Story by Oliver Gerlach / Art by V.V. Glass / Letters by Simon Bowland
Devlin Waugh is a Brit-Cit born Olympian who has fallen on tough times. A parttime occultist, and full-time dashing rogue, Devlin is determined to be back in the spotlight, and will seize on any opportunity to become part of the in-crowd once again - even if that means having to roll his sleeves up and deal with demonic interlopers.
HARLEM HEROES VS THE VENETIAN VIPERS
Story by RAMZEE / Art by Korinna Mei Veropoulou / Letters by Simon Bowland
The most popular sport of the future is aeroball - a mixture of football, jetpacks, basketball and fighting all rolled into one. While the name Harlem Heroes evokes a long history of trophy-winning success, the current roster of players (led by ex-Judge Cadet Gem Giant) are a team of rough-around-the-edges rookies and have a lot to live up to.
