Appolies if this has been asked/answered elsewhere but...
simples question, will the IDW US Dredd be available in UK?
Good call Proud. I'm going to be wanting to order these online to be delivered, can anyone suggest a good retailer?
Will I have to go to eBay to fight for the different covers?
I buy an awful lot of comics- old and new- from ebay sellers, and the one i have had the least trouble with (ie: none) and who seem to be the speediest at delivering and the best at packing are A PLACE IN SPACE. They have a facebook page as well.
The only thing is that, unlike some other places, they dont list the stock until they physically have it. I dont know when idw dredd is scheduled for release, but if it's the 1st november, that's when you'll be able to order it. Id get in touch with them and put in an advance or something.

I suspect most retailers in the UK will carry these.
A place in Space are a good n reliable company, as are
Disposable Hero Comics. (http://www.disposableheroes.co.uk/)
E-Bay will always be a good place to search out the variant covers n stuff, but the two mentioned retailers always carry such things.
I was going to suggest Disposable Heroes. They did a great job with my FCB Day order, I was hugely impressed.
Or will those smart chaps at Rebellion repackage them as a collected TPB and sell em? if not planned can I suggest that and get the first one frree! thanks
It's exciting isn't it :sick:
it's the thought of additional DPM* that is upping the pulse!!
Dredds Per Month
Tell your local store to order it direct from Diamond...........
Shush!
I did that ages ago when I went into my local. Still gonna be a bugger for the other drokkin' variants though!
Apologies if this has been posted already, but I can't find it anywhere, an alternate cover by the legendary Carlos Ezquerra( and the cover I'll be trying to buy) for the new IDW series.

Thanks Molch-R. I'm guessing it might be on Comixology then.
I have just had a wee chat with the owner of The Grinning Demon in Maidstone and he's told me how you get what and here it is folks!
The shop has to order 25 copies to get 'ONE' Carlos cover!
In this 25 they will get the Zach Howard primary cover along with the variants by Paul Gulacy and Jim Starlin, so not much of a problem there!
To get the Subscription cover (foil stamped badge cover), it really is as easy as subscribing from your local comic shop!
To get one of the 'Mega Rare' variant covers of Dredd kicking in the door of and this is where it gets insane, the comic shops door what puts the order in (how many variants will there be of this ::)) the shop has to order 500 copies and they will get one of these variant covers with each comic. You read it right folks, a comic shop has to order FIVE HUNDRED COPIES to get these :o
Now I've sorted myself out on the easy stuff but the 500 copy bit I shall be trying to sort out in the next few days, hopefully!

well there goes the idea of getting all the covers, then. 500 copies is just mental!
since its IDW. Does that mean there's gonna be different covers for all the issues? not to mention the covers for all the spin offs and mini series that they seem to enjoy. :think:
Just to clarify, each shop that orders 500 copies gets 500 of their own variant cover with their shops name on the front. So if I ordered 500 copies I would have my own 500 Cellar of Dredd variants :lol:

I see the
original art (http://www.nsnart.com/GalleryPiece.asp?Piece=19039&ArtistId=1441) for that cover is up for grabs. At $1100.00, it might be cheaper to buy that, instead of the comic!

The current answer being - bloody great!
I had a reply from IDW last night after I asked them a few questions a few days ago but since then we have heard most of the answers but here are a few. One was for Buttonman ;)
I won't bother putting my questions down as I think the answers are quite self explanatory
I don't believe we're planning on a letters column at the moment, but if we do, we'll put the word out.
Sketch covers are a possibility, but none are planned right now.
As far as the variants, I can't quote numbers, but you should be able to work out getting ahold of those with your retailer. At the time of release, or shortly after, we'll have the book in our online store, so you can order directly from us, but you should able to go through your local shop.
I would love a few sketch covers and these would then take me on a new convention mission :crazy:
Well I had to resort to going to my LCS Cardiff Fantasy Centre and putting an order in. Not had to do that since the 90s. Thanks for nothing internets.
I'm getting the impression this should be available at FP, will try and pick it up from there... First person to see one incountry shout out eh?

£8.55 for a comic? Pffft!
I'll be getting a digital copy. Probably £1.49 or £1.99 on Comixology.
Yeah, thats a bit much for the Carlos cover, int it. Especially when that 'Exclusive Logo Cover' variant is supposed to be the mega rare one?
The answer to that is quite simple in its madness.
The shop has to buy 500 issues to get 500 mega rare ones. So that's 500 for 500.
To get the Carlos cover the shop has to buy 25 issue get 1 Carlos cover. So that's 25 for 1.
Only the big stores, online or not will be able to invest in 500 copies.

No stores -- I may have to repeat that for rhetorical porpoises: NO stores -- will have ordered 500 copies. Maybe there are 50 small stores in a major urban area that have ordered 10 each and put it through as one order for 500, but, frankly, I don't believe they even printed the 500 copies incentive cover.
Cynical? Moi?
Jim
I've pre-ordered the himsmashinthroughtheIDWdoor cover - in absence of a cheap Carlos one. I love the mustachoid one but I've got a SP anthology to support!
Well, like a fool I've ordered all the sodding covers. I hate myself...
Pete, you fool! :lol:
I ordered mine, (no cover image, so maybe Carlos', maybe not...) together with the two issues of Zaucer of Zilk, from Disposable Heroes a week or so back. Only the news that Brendan McCarthy is doing a 6-page Anderson back-up story made me get off the fence, to be honest. Still, looking forward to seeing how this shapes up.
I bloody HATE variant cover nonsense, though.
I'll be getting this, but i absolute detest variant cover bollocks- so even though it's carlos and i love the man so much id happily sell him my sister*, i'm going for the bog standard edition.
Besides, there's something that doesnt sit well with them charging four times the price for the cover that makes the book seem like the source material, when the inside strip is likely to bear as much relation to said material as previous attempts to do it outside the pages of 2000AD. Maybe im being cynical here, but i think probably not. If they want to do dredd, why not get wagner or carroll or ewing with carlos or colin or chris western on art? To employ brendan mccarthy to do a backup strip strikes me as nuts- surely he should be up front on the main one?
Anyway, i'll buy- but not under a cover that promises more than it delivers... and if im wrong about this and it's brilliant, i'll be first here singing its praises! Sincerely hope i am.

Ditto for me.
I don't actually like the Carlos cover very much. The helmet doesn't look big enough to fit over Dredd's ears and the gun looks a bit stupid.
Are there any previews of the internal art yet? (other than those scrapped pencil pages I mean).
The problem I have with that cover is the size of the barrel. Just how big would those rounds be, a wee bit bigger than the mag I would presume :o

Let's face it as readers of 2000ad we want as much new material as we can get our mitts on. So IDW producing a Dredd comic is of course good news, but I absolutely agree with SmallBlueThing's sentiments. It's a no-brainer. UK creators produce great work for 2000ad, US dollars entice said UK creators away to work on US projects, US projects now look to produce 2000ad material so why not use the creators that they have already 'pinched' to recreate the kind of work that impressed them in the first place. Or better still a bigger US market for 2000ad 'as is' but printed in the US (by Rebellion), carrying US advertising etc, as marvel did when it expanded into the UK market in the 70's. If it worked and Rebellion kept the production, then the added income from the US could encourage them to produce another title which could be marketed once again on both sides of the pond 'and so on...' After all 2000 ad already has a following in the US that could be expanded with US based production to keep the cover price down in line with other US comics. I know Quality comics tried it before and to be far they didn't have a bad run, but maybe their problem was too many titles trying to compete with the established big US comic companies.
Can I just be clear on something - we don't have the resources to produce our own range of US comics, and we certainly don't have the market nouse, contacts and influence that IDW has.
Also, as much as we all love our British creators - with the greatest of respect to them they don't have the same pull in the States. If you produce books with all-British talent, it's far too easy for them to write it off as 'a Brit book I won't understand'. Far better to talk to them on their own terms, and Chris and the IDW guys are great at reading the market and putting Dredd where it needs to be.

But we have that already and the names listed are working on Dredd here. I'm personally quite looking forward to seeing a new different take on the character. Now granted I may well regret saying that as I may well hate it, but do we need more of the same (well actually can we ever have too much good Dredd...??? Damn arguing against my own point now... ahem anyway...) lets see what these other fella's can do. You never know it might be new, exciting and even... good!

Have to disagree there sir, Bryan Hitch, Alan Grant and of course Brian Bolland to name but a few. However I respect and do understand all that's being said. Bottom line I suppose is that I have read 2000ad since prog 1 and have every issue bagged & boxed. It's grown with me, and as such it is more than just a comic, it has become part of my life in so much as I truly look forward to reading it each week, and feel protective towards it. Right or wrong I fear that it may turn out like the DC attempt at Dredd. Having sad that I will of course view with an open mind and add the IDW Dredd to my collection.
I think Molch-R is completely right. Sure there are discerning comic fans in the states that won't have any problem with all-British talent but for a book to have a chance to establish itself you have to make sure you INCLUDE everyone by excluding no-one. Sadly there are too many readers who simply wouldn't read a comic that was see / perceived as British. Just look at the Trolling Dredd 3D has recieved, or think of the tale of 2000AD not being able to flog Dante Trades in the States because he's 'Russian'.
And citing Bolland is silly, unless talent like Bolland has nostalgic reasons for working for a 2000AD launch there is no way they are going to be able to afford the rates that people like that could command.
(That said, it would be nice if IDW could get some covers out of 'known over there' ex-2000AD types like Adlard, Walker, Elson, Jock etc...)
I take your point, but stand by Bolland. I mentioned him and the others as examples of UK creators with "pull" in the US and didn't mean to imply that I was referring to only 2000ad.

I wasn't referring to British creators in general, merely the ones who work for us now - which excludes names such as Bolland, Hitch, Adlard, Fegredo, Phillips etc.

I stand corrected. Apologies. As I Said, I get very defensive with regards to UK comics, maybe overly so (but not to the exclusion of all else). This may be because they are a part of who I am. My Dad taught me to read with the topper, considering he was a department chief librarian at the old British museum library, it was very open-minded of him at the time. Still back to IDW I enjoy their take on Doctor Who so I'll give them my best wishes and look forward to their take on Dredd.

Also, now that they have done that sketch variant cover, will this mean we could see some blank ones for cons. I did ask and they said they would think about it. I would buy loads of those buggers :-[
So it looks like the variants are not just for issue 1 then :(
The regular variants will be shipped 1-to-1 ratio, so that's not bad. It's gonna be that sketch one that 'may' be a killer, or not!
Here is the Limited Edition cover for Disposable Heroes Comics. Remember folks, only 500 of these devils will be available!

Just snooping around to see if any stores are listing the Greg Staples cover (they arent yet, or at least ive not seen it), but reading what youve posted CF, is it ok to assume that that cover will be priced at around £2.80ish mark as its a 'regular' cover?

It is at times like this when I'm kind of glad that I never got into the whole variant cover thing. Not a slight against anyone who enjoys collecting such things, but for me its all about what lies between the covers that really counts.
I mean don't get me wrong, it is nice to see the different cover art, but that is about as far as it goes for me personally, outside of that very, very rare occasion when there is a particular piece of cover art that I really love and feel an overwhelming need to track down for myself.
Gotta say, I am very curious about this latest American take on Dredd, even if I may not be particularly optimistic about it. I'm sure it'll be something to talk about, at the very least. And who knows, maybe it'll even prove worthy in its own right...stranger things have happened. We shall see, I suppose.

Same here, though i
just had to have the Carlos variant. Same with the Greg Staples cover for #2 - getting that was a no brainer, and ill be ordering that as soon as it pops up online. Hoping the inside contents are decent enough, and buying at least the first two issues should give us some idea of how its gonna be.

I've never understood the whole variant cover thing either. I was still at school when singles began to be realeased with 12" remix versions, and I remember us all taking the piss out of a classmate who bought about a dozen different versions of Frankie Goes to Hollywood's Two Tribes in the same week.
Here's a bit of info about issue 3.
"We've Got You Now!" In Mega-City One, kidnapping of the rich is a thing of the past, thanks to personal security droids. But a ruthless team of high-tech snatchers has come up with a cruel twist on the oldest racket on the books. They don't nab you. Just... a certain part of you. But the kidnappers may regret holding one of the city's most prominent citizens for ransom, because Judge Dredd's just signed on to be the bagman!

Aye, Thats a lovely looking cover. IDW seems to have gotten that part right for this series, please let the innards be as good.
Has any proper preview pages been let loose yet?
Had mine preordered for a while now.
Managed to get the Disposable Heroes comic store variant too :D

When did Dredd start holding his lawgiver all "Gangsta stylee"?
Since he started working Mega-Hood Uno, beeyatch!

Isn't this one the one that was so controversial a whole thread got locked about it? The one that was "a rough that would never have gotten through to final stage" that was accidentally leaked by the artist? IS THIS THE END OF DAYS?
I'd think that was poor if it was in a SP comic, let alone a mainstream one. Think about how much they got paid. I need to sit down. I need to sit down and think about this.

No. People's completely unreasonable and offensive posts about it got the thread locked down.
And all please be aware I am watching this thread *very* closely and will not hesitate to start handing out temporary, or even permanent, bans if things get out of hand again.

That link takes you to a page drawn by Paul Gulacy, doesnt it? Im familiar with a lot of his work, especially from his time at
Dark Horse. Though his style, if it is he, has changed a bit in over the years.
Was never the biggest fan TBH.This is a page from the back-up story, isnt it?
You are correct
¥ Judge Dredd is celebrating his 35th anniversary with an all-new big-screen movie as well as this comic-book launch
¥ First time Judge Dredd has been published by an American publisher in nearly 20 years
¥ Written by acclaimed novelist/comic writer Duane Swierczynski (Birds of Prey, etc. etc.) with art and colors by Road Rage/The Cape 1969 artist Nelson Daniel!
¥ Bonus back-up story featuring art by Paul Gulacy
¥ Four regular covers Zach Howard, Ashley Wood, Jim Starlin, and Whilce Portacio!
¥ Ask your retailer how to get the all-new cover by Dredd artist/co-creator Carlos Ezquerra!
All those Dreddie covers look pretty good. :thumbsup:
As an American I am curious:
Do UK fans expect more or less or the same with an American Dredd comic?
Is it bothersome that it will not, I assume, fit into continuity?
Speaking for myself, I will be happy if we see decent stories with great art first and foremost.

For me, this is different to my 2000AD Dredd so I'm not too bothered about continuity or whatever. All I hope is that the team do him justice, no pun intended. We've finally got a movie that was a pretty accurate representation, if we can get a US comic that lives up to the UK version I'll be thrilled.
Not too bothered about continuity, and not too sure what kind of quality to expect. I wasn't hugely thrilled with the preview pages, but that's not nearly enough to put me off the book or think it's going to be sub-par, but I hope it's good, so the larger audience isn't soured towards Dredd!
Will
I want it to be fun and entertaining. I don't care if it's procedural like Wagner's Dredd or wacky like Pat Mills'
Dredd as long as it moves with pace and has some wit.
No continuity between universes I think is was what people said - which suits me down to the ground really.

No continuity doesnt bother me at all.
Art-wise i'd like to see some decent stuff from the non-2000ad artist's involved, but more than owt, i love it if the stories were as good as what we get from the prog.
How many varients will there be? I know of three for issue one; the Forbidden Planet in store edition, the regular edition, and the Badge cover edition. Any more I should know of?

There's
FIVE VARIANT'S (http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page=article&id=40565) in total, for issue one.
Thanks- After I posted that, I found out about the retail logos editions. Eeep. Still, I'll try and get one of each cover *barring* the logo business.
As long as Dredd is somewhat similar to the modern Dredd (Wagner, Ewing, Urban) and the art isn't awful then I'm on board. Terrible Art or 'kiddie' Dredd (ya know, stupid impossible things happening in stories, or an awful 'voice' for Dredd) are about the only thing that would see me bow out.
Am looking forward to it. The LCS said orders for it had been very high.

I guess this *could* be the Ezquerra cover, with a typo in the auction name? Unless there's an "Esquero" cover I'm not familiar with?
Also, I know of the DHC and FP custom covers- are there any more store specific ones?
Has anyone picked this up yet? It's onsale today but I can't get to my local comic shop until Saturday.
Was wondering what people thought.
Ordered it online today.
Expect to get it by the weekend.
I'm in no hurry
Just picked up my 6 copies. In the back it tells you how many shop variants there are, :o DROKK!
Downloading as we speak.
Anyone know if FP has em?
I used to work round the corner from FP but have moved workplace and now have to put up with the GReenie droid in my local Tesco ;)
They should have at least 500, as they have the shop exclusive covers as well ;)
cheers CF, will nip down there sometime this week ::)

Not bothering with the other three variants, then? ;)
The numbers are on the thread for issue 1 :lol:
Ah i see reviews are now landing. But isnt there nine variants in total? I posted a link on the e-bay thread yesterday about it, as somebody was selling them all together.
I feel a little ambivalent about the first issue. I do welcome the fact that both stories didn't forget the quirkier and more light-hearted side of Mega-City life, but the stories were not the best exhibit of Dredd himself. He's often a bystander which allows us to observe MC1, that's true, but in "Ripe" he wasn't just standing aside, he was completely ineffectual. There needed to be a more focused tale of Dredd as the hero.
#Judge Jack, I think there's 26 in total :lol:
And they are listed in the review thread!

Actually quite like Daniel's artwork for the first story but the second one's just not good. Same artwork we saw posted up here briefly. Would rather have seen 22 pages of one story than two stories broken up and marred by ghastly artwork. Still, time will tell.
Got it this morning.
Not overly impressed.

Whoops. Looking forward to reading this, but they've made a bit of a faux pas there surely?
From the covers published so far, #2 Backup strip is Brendan McCarthy, #3 Langdon Foss, and #4 Inaki Miranda.
So 2 of those know Dredd, and the other one has a European styling which looks like it would fit.
I'm hoping the Paul Gulacy strip was just a misfire.
Was this ever published in the prog? The only strip I remember of Inaki's is the Regime Change one - this doesn't ring a bell.

From Eva de la Cruz's blog - from 2008, pencils by Miranda. I definitely prefer the skinnier Dredd with a retro helmet here to the musclebound one he did.
And a bit of Langdon Foss.

Looking forward to seeing what he turns in.
Snagged 2 diff cover variants and issues 2 and 3. I'll be back with some Yankee opinions. What do you guys think of it so far?
I'm gonna wait for the trade, too. It's out on April 30th, so it's relatively around the corner.

Haven't been buying this but I see Bill Sienkiewicz is lined up for at least one variant cover in a few issues time. I have no idea of the economics involved but I'd be pretty excited to see him do a Prog cover instead. Or, you know, a whole John Smith scripted story.

Please make this happen for Prog 2014.

The IDW's first trade paga has been updated at Amazon.co.uk:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Judge-Dredd-1-Nelson-Daniel/dp/1613775962/ref=sr_1_2?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1363031287&sr=1-2
There's a preview so we can see more or less how the trade it's gonna be. Curious variant cover description page. :lol:
I saw this in the comic shop yesterday and it felt quite thin when I picked it up, I was thinking it would contain six issues but it has the first four inside. Seeing as the current story ends on issue eight , obviously they will do the next four in a trade, so I wonder if they will collect all eight at a later date!
Let's get this out the way first shall we, I was impressed with the spine and can see these all matching on the shelf :lol:
I had a quick look through it but not a thorough one, as that would be like those naughty Smiths shoppers. It was a decent layout and the colours were vibrant when they needed to be. They have a covers section at the rear and some of these look stunning without the logo masking them. There is also a couple of pages showing the
seventeen incentive covers that were produced for the shops that ordered over 500 covers, yes folks it did happen as I thought it would!

Only the big stores, online or not will be able to invest in 500 copies.
No stores -- I may have to repeat that for rhetorical porpoises: NO stores -- will have ordered 500 copies. Maybe there are 50 small stores in a major urban area that have ordered 10 each and put it through as one order for 500, but, frankly, I don't believe they even printed the 500 copies incentive cover.
Cynical? Moi?
Jim
Now I know many of you didn't pick it up but for about a tenner online and free delivery, well why not see what we all talked about. It's cheaper than buying it in store. It says it's $19.99 on the rear, which is weird because I always though trades were supposed to be cheaper than buying all the issues. That is unless it is a premium trade!
One final thing. This bodes well for a collected Year One Dredd, seeing as this is just the four issues :thumbsup:
Latest news for issue 11 and it's Retail Incentive cover by Phil Postma. Now I do like this and have made sure that I'll be getting it from my local :D

..and are apparently cannibals in IDW Dredd.
I wonder if the writers of IDW Dredd feel as though they have to try to appeal to fans of the Stallone film as well as the original comic. I guess it makes sense, being that there must be a sizeable amount of Americans buying it who are fans of the old movie.

Inside #10 it says this near the back, for anyone who wants to splash the cash
IDW Limited is ready to be JUDGED! This month we're releasing a very special limited-edition hardcover collecting the first story arc of our ongoing Judge Dredd comic. We've worked closely with painter Dan Harding to give this edition a completely new look. Besides providing artwork for the packaging, Harding has painted 15 original pieces on 11" x 14" canvas board, and those pieces will be included in what is sure to be one of our most spectacular Blue Label editions yet!
With an exclusive, variant cover and hand-built casing, Judge Dredd: Mega-City One is hotter than a HighEx round. Make sure you get your hands on this hand-numbered, hand-signed collectible while you still can or risk being sentenced to a life of regret.
Get your orders in now chaps!
There are also two pictures of Dan's art and it looks reasonable enough, apart from not enough links and a weird pistol grip with his pinkie all by itself from the rest of his fingers (that's only in one pic though)

Yep, it was another name for the heatseeker way back.
The 2012 film made it more of an incendiary/flare.
I was reading through Case files 3 the other day and they had dodgems and dum-dums too!
(Dodgems are ricochet rounds, in case you were wondering. Dum dums appear to be armour piercing, although whether they are the same as the usual ones or something extra tough I'm not sure. Turns out the term is used for pullets in the real world too although for expanding 'soft point' rounds. So kind of the oposite of armour piercing then! But very nasty from a flesh wounding perspective.)
Yeah the dum-dums in Dredd were body stoppers... just like the real life round (not bullet... it is a round...)
They're just different words for the same thing aren't they? Or I suppose rounds might be broader to include cartridges, etc too.

bullets are what Americans call rounds. To gaol with them.
Quote from: Shaun of the Dead
We've got 29 bullets left
Call them shells
29 shells
All Americans are cowboys and call rounds 'bullets' and happily fire them willy nilly
When we used to do our declaration on a live firing range, part of that very declaration, depending on what we were firing was 'I have no live rounds or empty cartridge cases in my possession, SIR!'
