Forthcoming Thrills!

I think IDW are doing some great work at the moment pushing Dredd in the US.  However, I do find some of their covers to be awful - this was ugly when it was on the floppy and why would they use it for the TPB?  Same goes for Dredd: Year One, I thought they used the ugliest cover of all four for the TPB.

I totally agree!

Carlos did a great Apocalypse War cover for volume 2 of his IDW collection, they should've got him to do another for this collection.  Otherwise, there's some great Bolland covers from the Eagle (Quality?) comics that they could use - Dredd about to be squashed by an enormous Sov tank for example.

I like that!  Never gave any thought to Deadlock's feet before, and 'Tubular Caine' is a good gag too.   Is it original or re-used?  And who's the artist - is that Boo Cook trying out a new palette, or could it even be Steve Roberts making a play for the big league?

It's Tharg's design droid, PYE-01, I believe...

Durnit, you're right of course.  At least he can't be insulted by being mistaken for Boo or Steve!

It's interesting the way the so-called mind works - I wasn't that fussed by this volume under the re-used cover, but with the new cover it really takes my fancy.

This should go in the things that go over your head thread, but I have looked at and admired that cover a few times now but only just realised that the other warriors are actually in the rock formations! Cracking cover made even better!!

Great cover by Pye.
Very Nemesis-y look for Deadlock. I like it.

More Deadlock solo series would be great. great cover, and your TB, its amazing what an original over will make to  desirability!

[CrazyFoxMachine]

I'd love that cover as a print, it's grand!

I know there is only so much Henry Flint to go around but why this hasn't happened and yet there is more Greysuits on the way I have no idea.

That Deadlock cover is the bollocks. Amazing stuff!

If anyone could fit it into an already busy schedule, I'm sure Mr. Flint could.
He's our John Romita Jnr.

The article also mentions upcoming (e-book?) novels "Strontium Dog" and "Judge Anderson: Rookie".

No sign of "Rookie" yet but I assume this is the e-book only S/D novel mentioned above:
