The Exclusivity Issue At the heart of the controversy are the exclusive expansions and content for Zombicide: White Death, Cthulhu: Death May Die, and Marvel United. These exclusives include: Zombicide: White Death TMNT Expansion: Featuring comics and Rocksteady and Bebop miniatures for the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles expansion. This expansion is only available at SDCC, but was highly requested by backers during the entire campaign. Godzilla Expansion for Cthulhu: D

Judge Dredd #4 - We've Got You Now Pt 2; Fugitive Daze


Kidnappers are jacking the DNA of some of Mega-City One's most elite citizens, then growing clones to torture on live TV -- unless the elite pay up big-time. There's only one Judge tough enough to stop them, and he's just signed on to be the bagman. But a double-cross within the Justice Department sends Dredd straight into the crosshairs of hundreds of perps who would love to relieve a Judge of all that money.
