The psychopathic PJ Maybe is on the loose, the Academy of Law is destroyed in a terrorist attack and the Dark Judges are unleashed.ĭay Of Chaos certainly lives up to its name.Īrtist: Mike McMahon, Brian Bolland, Ron Smith Plot and counterplot gather momentum – news that the contagion is incurable leak out, and citizens riot rather than be executed by Judges who’d been rounding up the affected, promising quarantine and cure.
