Title: Judge Dredd Case File 5 Free download
Post by: Magnetica on 19 March, 2020, 02:34:59 PM
The Thrillmail is advising of a free download of Judge Dredd case files 5, to give us all something to read whilst cooped up at home.

I just want to say what a great gesture this is from Rebellion in these difficult times for everyone.

Especially as this is the very definition of premium content: Block Mania, the Apocalypse War, Judge De'ath Lives, The Mega Rackets, the Hotdog Run and a few more.

It's got me dipping my toes into the digital experience having been a confirmed paper only collector up to now. It will be interesting to see how I get on with it.

I can see the convenience factor but still think you cant beat a physical comic.

Yep, got my copy, which I can now read on my PC instead of damaging my badly thumbed original copy! 

It's looking like the page is a bit more stable now too - it crashed yesterday as so many people dived on it the site thought is was having a Denial of Service attack!  :D

That is definitely a great collection of stories, and if I was recommending a place for a new reader to start it might be that volume.

Great news but I'm just trying to remember if "Fungus" is included in this volume?  Might it be best to include a trigger warning ?

That's a lot of premium thrill power there. Downloaded.

If you can't download, try it again later. The store is under heavy load.

That's got to be a wonderful way to hook folks in, it really has. Hope it gets him some much deserved attension and new fans.

Fungus is in the next volume. But nobody needs a "trigger warning;" life is triggering, get used to it.

It's great to see that Tharg has our backs. I'll be spreading this one around. :)

Yup, this is always my answer to the question "which Dredd book should I read first?"

To be fair, CF 4 is also a strong contender.

A nice gesture. Not sure Block Mania makes for escapism though 😜

Perhaps not, but it certainly works as a user manual for the upcoming weeks and months. ;)

Do you forget when this was printed?

I bought 4 for my daughter as her first Dredd, but it was between that and 5. The Hotdog Run is awesome, one of my favourite stories.
