Woo! I'm being quoted to within an inch of my life!

(Thanks for the welcome, by the way, Tordelback!)

I kinda think it would just be so, so sad to see Dredd draw his last breath on the page. I'd rather that was left undealt with, personally. But, if the real-time approach is something nobody wants to ditch, i'd really like to see a development like Dredd taking up office as Chief Judge. Just so long as it doesn't mean killing off Hershey (or whoever).

That strikes me as a good way to set the stage for anew character in Dredd's role. I'd love to see Rico come back centre stage and pick up the mantle, as it were. Or it could be somebody completely different.

And let's not forget - this is Mega City One. It's sci-fi. A whole lotta ker-ray-zee stuff could happen, and it wouldn't really be out of place. Why not just put Dredd's brain in a prosthetic Dredd body? Or conjure up some similar sci-fi hocus pocus?

For my money, Dredd is just too good a character to be allowed to die. Even at the ripe old age of 32, I'd happily buy new Dredd material for another 20 years. 

Multiple digital handshakes to alla's you'se guys! 

Say, being the technophobe that I am, I'll be slow to pick up on any of you folks that I may know from elsewhere online. Don't be shy about stepping up and slapping me until I get the who's who sorted upstairs.

Ah! Much obliged for the interest, Sirrah!

Get yourself over to this page:

You'll find  as election of bits and bobs over there, for which I take full responsibility (if it's good) and none whatsoever if it stinks. Enjoy!

Hi everybody! This'll be my first post proper on these forums, so I'll try not to upset too many people... 

I'd really, really be gutted if Dredd was decisively killed off. I mean, I've been reading comics (or more specifically graphic novels and trade collections) again for abot - what? - not quite two years. I've had a lot of fun revisiting Dredd, and I really feel as enamoured of the character as I did when I was 11 years old, reading Judge Dredd back in the late 1980s.

The guy is an icon. He's one of my heroes, as far as that applies to fictional creations. And I'd be a broken man if I ever saw a comics panel depicting or even broadly suggesting his demise.

I wonder, what would be so wrong with simply changing direction? Mega City One is supposedly a hotbed of civil unrest and perpetual crim. Maybe an episodic approach could be used here and there, to 'fill in the gaps' maybe, and highlight crimes that Dredd solved 'when we weren't looking' before? 

That's just one of a dozen ideas I've got rattling around in my brain!

Hi all! I'm a new user to the boards, possibly a few folks have seen my work over on DeviantArt.

Just a note to say hello to everybody online. I may not be around much, but I'll definitely stop by to see what's going on every once in a while.
