Michael has said on the podcast that he's going to upset a lot of people this year and in Previews it says that in the Michael Carroll & Colin MacNeil strip The Grindstone Cowboys a tragedy awaits that will have major repercussions for Mega-City One!
Is he really gonna kill someone off and if so, who?
I'm gonna side with Hershey, purely for the reason that she's been alive too long and the death of the Chief Judge can sway the power either way, as someone else takes the position. They can be more stern or move to a more relaxed way of policing the streets. Obviously not too liberal :lol:
Well its the 40th Anniversary so its going to be big. How big is the question. Of course if it was going to be the biggest that would be... nah surely not... surely...
Rico.
I'd go with Hershey too.
Hershey, maybe DeMarco. Rico hasn't been in the prog enough to be significant enough to make impact waves (which is a good thing as his exploits are getting lost in the big meg).
V
No! Not Babs!
Vienna, maybe?? Then they can use the tagline 'Goodnight, Vienna'......
Colin McNeil drawing it, so probably Beeny. That'll be good for a few angry emails.

If by 'angry email' you mean burn down Tharg's Nerve Center, yes.
I really hope it's not Hershey. Or Beeny for that matter; she's a potential Chief Judge (give it 25 years, you'll see). Or Joyce; nice to see one of our own doing well in the big city.
What's that other old dude in the strip again? He'll do. Joe something or other.

Rico.
It isn't Rico (or Koburn).
From the Forbidden Planet preview of Meg 371; "Following the explosive finale to 'The Grindstone Cowboys' in 2000 AD, Rico and Koburn team up for 'Dust to Dust' by Michael Carroll and Henry Flint".
Pj maybe? Where can I read these previews?

Now THAT is a team up I can get behind.
Tragedy doesn't mean someone is going to die. If it is though, I doubt it will be Beeny as her death wouldn't have major repercussions for the city. If it's someone like Hershey it's a bit of an indicator Mr Wagner might be taking a back seat in the strip. :(

I wouldn't jump the gun yet, only a few weeks ago we had the Dredd dream team of Wagner / MacNeil on double-duty in the the Prog and Meg.
With Mike's recent stint on DeMarco PI, she was my initial suspicion for the dirt-nap.
The preview for 'Dust to Dust'* has me thinking otherwise. Giant perhaps?
*(NB- It will be great to see a Carroll / Flint team-up)
In an existential move Michael Carroll is going to kill hope.

Well, that will certainly shake a few things up in, and indeed outside of, Dredd continuity.
To celebrate your continued enjoyment of the story we will give you . . . one less character to enjoy.
I hope it is Dredd. And the people can act like a superhero has died. And Rico can think 'but can i fill his boots?'. And people can cry. Then a few months later he can come back and people can say 'oh great'. Sigh. - event comics.

Yeah, but MacNeil and Flint are the equivalent of an orb and sceptre; killing a major character as part of the big Summer event story places the crown on Carroll's glowing pate. Michael Carroll is definitely now the writer charged with shaping the direction of the strip.
Wagner's on record as saying he intended Day Of Chaos to be his last story before retirement. If he's stepping back from controlling the future of the strip, that explains why some have found recent Wagner Dredd to lack the expected sense of taking the strip forward.
I can't see Carroll killing Beeny, for the same reason he won't kill off Gerhart or Maitland. Each Dredd writer has their own bit of turf, and Beeny is Wagner territory. If they're looking to signal Carroll's authority over the strip, Hershey's death would be the most obvious choice.
My understanding is that Wagner is still writing Dredd stories.
Michael Carroll will commit seppuku live in the comic.
TBH if it is going to be anyone I kind of hope it is Hershey. I just can't get behind the dynamics there. I can't quite put my finger on what it is about her as CJ but it really just doesn't work properly for me. Sorry.
And to Mr Soap: loving the single entendre there.

Doleman innit. A Dredd by default.
Really only Carrolls stand-out addition to Dreddworld was bringing him back. He certainly shouldn't be allowed to kill of anyone else characters. I guess the Irish lad and the Russian are floating around his dull take on Dredd.
Maybe it'll be the Queen. Afterall we did get that ham-fisted orish 'fxxkin brits' tosh a few months ago.

Yeah, but that's what I meant when I was talking about each writer having their own bit of turf. Wagner's recent stories have all been very self contained - events in a single block, a single (secret) unit of the department, a magic whistle from the future - with only the appointment of Beeny to the council registering on the continuitometer.
In the same way that Carroll and Williams had their own rep company and storylines that buzzed along in the background without stepping on Wagner's toes, I'm sure whatever Wagner has planned for Beeny and PJ Maybe will do nothing to interfere with whatever Matt Smith and his writer of choice decide the next mega-epic should be*.
I'm writing as if it's a
fait accompli; it's not, but a Summer event story and a high profile death seem like editorial's emphatic response to the idea that if Wagner didn't write it it didn't happen.

I loved Hershey as Chief Judge, and I LOVED that she went into self imposed exile when Francisco got the Chief Judge job. I HATED having her resume the role after that fiasco. I thought that was just a little too rapid a back peddle. And she hasn't really felt like the same character since her return. To the point for a while I thought she wasn't the real deal.

The Hersey / Dredd tensions around Trifecta were great tho. This 'my position means our relationship has changed' dislike of Dredd (last seen in the shooting down of the Enceladus shuttle over MC1) is a real key point that should be explored in depth. Maybe even resulting in Dredd being totally isolated a la Edgar for his clashes with the CJ who knows him best.
I will agree that the Trifecta tension worked well. The recent Enceladus follow up (can't remember the title off the top of my head) didn't so much. Perhaps you hit the nail on the head BPP when you said it was something that should be explored. The lack of depth may be the real problem, giving it the appearance of being contrived. It would be nice to see this explored properly as a running subthread leading up to a suitably dramatic resolution against the backdrop of the next major catastrophe to assail what is left of MC1 (MC 0.00001 perhaps now, I mean what percentage of the original meg is actually left?)
If Mike kills off my Barbara, I'll be heading to Dublin with a loaded musket!! Z

Have to agree with Hawk. Obviously it's all a matter of taste, but still.
Its a matter of taste and I don't think it needs elaborated on.
Nor do I think it needs a chorus of disapproval.

I'm sure a guy who's had over 400 pages of Dredd comics (plus prose novels) published in the last 5 years (according to Barney) doesn't need defending by some internet nobodies, but at the same time if someone describes that work as 'dull' and 'tosh', I will publicly disagree.

The black chap was Sam, and even if he's still alive he was a Brit-Cit Judge, so... still probably not Chief Judge any time soon!

Not ... Guthrie ?
It's Demarco, isn't it? I swear to grud Carroll, if you lay a FINGER on my freckley little fave I'll not be responsible for my actions!
Polar Bears get 15 - 18 years so that one running around with Max Normal a few years back probably could be deaded. Of natural causes. In a final panel unrelated to the rest of the strip.
'Ack!'
My bet is either Dolman or De Marco. John Wagner has moves away from both those characters it seems and especially with him announcing that he's killing someone else off himself Michael Carroll is not gonna get the nod to off a major character like Hershey or Beeny. I don't mind as long as the stories are good, that's the main thing.
Dolman, possibly.
De Marco, I don't think so.
There needs to be a connection to Rico and / or Koburn if their adventure in the Cursed Earth directly follows on from the death of this mystery character.
The fact Grindstone Cowboy's will be set in the Cursed Earth (before the Rico / Koburn story) and will have 'major repercussions' has led this Belgian detective to one conclusion; it has to (seemingly) be: Judge Joseph Dredd.
And I think we can expect a continuation of the Judge Joyce storyline (by Carroll & Holden) to run in the Prog concurrently to Dust to Dust in the Meg, both sans Dredd.

If it was 'Whatever happened to Tweak?' then he is. A new age type person visits Tweak planet and gushes forth silly nonsense and then asks Tweak if she can bring more pilgrims to his world. He says she has to ask Judge Dredd for permission and so she heads back to MC1 and asks him and he duly has her locked up.
It's a nice little Pat Mills short and would have make a great post-script to the forthcoming Cursed Earth book.

I'm not sure if the idea of killing off a character is a prank now... But as my first thought was Hershey as the character didn't seem to be going anywhere, my "that's just what they'll be expecting us to do" instinct has kicked in...
Now I reckon Jonny Alpha will be killed by a big monster thing and then resurrected a bit later. Hershey not to die but to have a massive epic devoted to her all about a mysterious past nobody knew about (like she's actually Tweak in disguise or an android controlled by a mysterious cabal of disgruntled judges that has only just come to light...)

There needs to be a connection to Rico and / or Koburn if their adventure in the Cursed Earth directly follows on from the death of this mystery character.
The fact Grindstone Cowboy's will be set in the Cursed Earth (before the Rico / Koburn story) and will have 'major repercussions' has led this Belgian detective to one conclusion; it has to (seemingly) be: Judge Joseph Dredd.
And I think we can expect a continuation of the Judge Joyce storyline (by Carroll & Holden) to run in the Prog concurrently to Dust to Dust in the Meg, both sans Dredd.
Well, Mon Ami...

I suggested 'Joe Dredd' way back on page 2 of the thread. Having said that, you seem to have thought about it a bit more than me and actually offered a decent explanation!
Cheers

To celebrate your continued enjoyment of the story we will give you . . . one less character to enjoy.
I hope it is Dredd. And the people can act like a superhero has died. And Rico can think 'but can i fill his boots?'. And people can cry. Then a few months later he can come back and people can say 'oh great'. Sigh. - event comics.
I am also psychic
It's not really blown the comics world apart and isn't being talked about much in all the Judge groups that I'm in. Perhaps no-one believes it ;)

As long as it isn't Dredd, Rico II or Beeny, I don't care!
Personally, I hope it's Tharg!
Bring back Big E!
Starlord shall return!
Funnyily enough there's a line in this weeks Prog that makes me think it'll be Hershey that gets it. Its only a small thing AND it takes a lot of speculative extrapoliation to get from that line to her demise but that's where my money is at the moment.
I reserve the right to flip flop on this on a weekly basis.
