Judgement Day (comic story)

was a Captain Britain comic and the main story published in The Daredevils #6 and cover-dated June 1983. It featured the Special Executive characters Wardog, Zeitgeist and Cobweb from Black Sun Rising.
== Plot ==
Captain Britain woke up on the Special Executive's ship and is violently fighting his way through the multiple forms of Legion. Wardog is left frustrated that Cobweb, a precog, didn't warn them this would happen: she says there's no point, it would've happened anyway. Captain Britain eventually gets tired and gives up, and Wardog tries to placate him by saying he's the only witness who can confirm Saturyne didn't kill the "Crooked World" alternative universe.
To Captain Britain's bemusement, he's on "another" parallel universe Earth and his escorts to meet Saturyne are two alternative Captains, Captain England and Captain Albion.
On the remains of the Crooked World, "where reality has broken down into a sludge of bubbling nightmare", the Fury remains the only sane inhabitant. Growing suspicious that Captain Britain is alive and in another reality, the Fury starts to alter itself to travel to other universes.
Captain Britain is horrified to see the state of Saturyne in confinement: he thought he'd enjoy seeing her humbled but doesn't. He says he'll state at the trial that she didn't cause the reality storm that destroyed the Crooked World, as he's met the mutant that did it. To his dismay, it turns out the judge of the Supreme Omniversal Tribune is Saturne's successor, Lord Mandragon. Before the trial starts, Mandragon says the corruption on the Crooked Earth is spreading to other worlds and so, he 'reluctantly' uses his position to have that entire universe destroyed to ensure it can't affect the rest of the multiverse - which also means no material evidence for Saturyne's trial will be available.
The Fury, however, has already escaped.

to be added
== Continuity ==
* Wardog says their previous employers have included "time travellers", an oblique reference to the Time Lords. The Special Executive worked for them in COMIC: 4-D War and Black Sun Rising.
* Captain Britain's frustration with the alternate Earth and his past with Saturyne are from the Crooked World storyline that predates Alan Moore's work on the comic. The "mutant super brain responsible" for the reality storm was Mad Jim Jaspers, creator of the Fury. This was recapped in COMIC: A Rag, a Bone, a Hank of Hair...)
