whats up with dredd these days are we in for a epic soon enough i think the comic needs it.
i would like to say also that i did not class helter skelter as an epic it was way to short
and it left a lot of things up in the air

Don't forget that Sin City acted like one even though it was only an eleven parter. But definetly, we need more than something like Helter Skelter or the aforementioned Sin city. WE NEED EPICS. What do you say, fellow squaxx?!

SHAKARA!

I agree with you that an epic is well-overdue, but I only want to read one if Wagner has one to tell. The nero narcos stuff the other year was only so so. I much prefer to read a solid tale like Sin city or the Pit.

Mind you, with Mr Bones from 1316 and the GI Judges, I feel that something may be brewing.

I need one reaaallll bad.  Actually all I want is something a bit meaty from Dredd.  City doesn't have to blow up or anything.  We get a lot of teaser strips and it's mighty frustratin'.

At 80 odd pages Dredd vs Aliens will be another mini-epic.

we need an epic yes, but a real one, not some big body count dross. we need  a cursed earth.a judge child or THE PIT, sort of epic. something thats keeps you begging for more each week, then you want to read again in years to come.
but yes it time for this to take place.
I AM VERY BUSY!
PJ Maybe and I use the same dictionary, live with it.

NO 2000ad no life!

Yep, I want a Dredd epic, the longer the better. It should be at least 20 episodes long, preferably longer.

I also agree, that it should stay away from the high body count, 'let's destroy MC-1 again' type of story.

I'm in agreement, something similar to The Pit, i.e. more character driven would be great, or a 'Dredd goes on a space quest epic' also sounds good.

At 80 odd pages Dredd vs Aliens will be another mini-epic.

But it'll be a whopping 160 pages once they put the even pages in as well!
