I think you'll find that that is a pretty damn solid collection. Overall the quality of art and writing is far stronger than the last two or three Case Files books (chunky contributions from the likes of Colin Macniel, Peter Doherty, John Burns and a steadily-improving Greg Staples, and only one single-parter from Mark Millar!). There's also a surprisingly strong showing from Garth Ennis - by this point he's almost over his obsession/crutch of endlessly riffing on 1990s pop-culture (only Blind Mate stands out as a little anachronistic and clunky), and is instead concentrating on writing solid Dredd scripts - there are a few stories here that are generally ranked among his best efforts with the character (Last Night Out, A Man Called Greener, Raider, Unwelcome Guests). Rounding out the package you have the two Mechanismo stories, which are so good I don't even mind that I now own them in three different formats!
Ahhh! that is great one, with Dredd finally knock out PJ Maybe!
By comparison, it looks like the next few books in the series will look something like this (I'm just speculating) - a few real stinkers (though I'm morbidly curious to revisit some of the Millar/Steelgrave stuff), but there's light at the end of the tunnel...

Interesting speculation. On that basis, I bailed out of the Prog (and Meg) early in Casefiles 19, came back briefly in the middle of CF20 and left again almost immediately, then came back again for a while at the end of CF21 for The Tenth Planet/Wilderlands. So there's a huge amount here I've never read. That might make up for my reluctance to look at a lot of this material...
Reflecting on this period of non-scrotness, I can actually remember specific hopeful purchases of individual Progs. The Dermot Power gold-themed cover for Book of the Dead, for example, I remember buying that Prog to read on the train, only to be cruelly diasappointed. I gave it one more Prog after that (a Dobbyn Feral cover, I think), and then lapsed again. Strange days.
It covers large swathes I missed too after I lapsed into boredom though all the crap in the prog at the time. Going on the current release schedule only another 3 or 4 years and we get to read Wilderlands.
Because I clearly have nothing better to do (speculating wildly here, doubtful we'll ever get this far, but if they do, CF 26 onwards are gonna be arsom - so many Wagner stories I've never read). Amazing just how much material there still is to collect:

Damn shame 'Bury My Knee...' will likely end up in the otherwise horrific-looking Case Files 20... a largely toxic volume and then some! Then again, I suppose part of 'Knee's...' charms was not simply that it was great in its own right, but that it stood in such stark comparison to the mind-numbing drivel that was being published in 2000AD at the time
Agreed. Interesting also that while 'Sonny Steelgrave' was building up to this very tedious retread of the Apocalypse War (The Sino-Cit invasion that never was), Wagner was quietly laying the foundations for far more interesting plots (Mechanismo/Wilderlands etc).
Interesting too that each volume, no matter how dire most of the contents are, have something good in them that will make them worth buying.
The only real stinker in the bunch looks to be 19 (20 at least has Mechanismo: Body Count as well as Bury My Knee...), but even that will probably have a few bits of Wagner goodness, and I must admit I'm very curious to finally read all of Inferno - I've only read about half the episodes with loads of gaps between them). It's surprising how little Dredd material Millar and Morrison actually wrote when you break it down, but I guess this era is a bit murkier because it seems like 2000ad editorial were commissioning Dredd scripts from any fucker with a word processor during the early nineties.

19 doesn't have quite so lethal a set of lows as 20, but it doesn't have 20's redeeming features either. (Well, I personally like 'The Chieftain', but I know from past posts that you reckon it's rotten, radiator, so fair enough.) That said, whilst 'Inferno' is not really any good, it's not totally worthless - Carlos excels himself, and there are a few strong moments. It helps enormously that it's not co-written by Mark Millar. (I wonder if 'Purgatory' will get a reprint? I assume not.) You're right that Millar / Morrison didn't actually write that many Dredds, but several of the ones they did write, like 'Book of the Dead' and 'Crusade' are long. Long and painful.
The other problem to my mind is that in its weakest moments, the Prog was still carried by Dredd. In 2000 AD's darkest period, Dredd utterly ceased to be reliable, and because just another strip—and often a poor one. To my recollection, whether I bothered to read a Prog eventually came down to if there was something by John Smith in it at that time, because he was the one person churning out reliably interesting content.
QuoteI wonder if 'Purgatory' will get a reprint? I assume not.
I'd be
very surprised if it doesn't get bagged with the May 2012 issue of the Megazine to coincide with the launch of CF19.
As for me, I'm very curious to read
Missing and
The Exterminator, probably the two longest Dredd serials I have never read. I can vaguely remember reading a couple of odd episodes of the latter (which was a rehash of a Wagner script for a US publisher IIRC), but never read any of
Missing.

Smith is something of an an underrated Dredd writer imo, shame he hasn't written more of it. I remember quite enjoying
Darkside, and
Fetish - the Black Sheep of Dredd epics, is at least servicable - ISTR it suffered somewhat from delays, then being cut in half by editorial.

That would make a lot of sense. I'm vaguely interested in seeing it again... nonsensical as it was, it might be the 'best' thing Millar ever did for 2000AD. (As in, it's got some good bits. Which were probably secretly scripted by Grant Morrison. And I do like the shameless recycling of the 'Never trust a hippy' line from 'Zenith'.)

I really didn't like The Exterminator at the time... I think as the name suggests it was indeed a recycled Terminator script? It seemed very un-Dreddlike. 'Missing' isn't ringing any bells though... what was that about?
Missing 6 episodes (Progs 1078 to 1083) 36 pages
Script: John Wagner, Artist: Lee Sullivan
(http://www.2000ad.org/covers/2000ad/hires/1079.jpg)
I'm assuming it's not that great, seeing as it's never been reprinted and doesn't get talked about that much. I'm quite curious about it mainly because it's a 6 part Wagner story that I've never read before (wasn't getting the weekly at that time), and it appears to feature Demarco, and I really love all those stories with her and Dredd like
Beyond the Call of Duty and
The Scorpion Dance.

As with Inferno, it's also got some pretty stunning work by Ezquerra - I adore his hand coloured stuff from that period.
mmm. No one draws DeMarco like Brashill
Quotemmm. No one draws DeMarco like Brashill
What, with a unconvincing-looking claw hand?
Sorry.
yeah. Doesn't that do it for you ? :)

Oh yes. I think I remember it. Dredd gets abducted and imprisoned by a 'collector' type. Cheers for the reminder, radiator. I think it's actually quite good - there's a bit involving some telekinesis that Wagner cheekily recycles for the first of the 'new' Johnny Alpha stories years hence.
As for DeMarco... I'm not a fan of Brashill's take on her, she usually looks far too young, facially anyway.
Oooookay. May need to give #20 a miss then. Fuck me, Tharg must have been on wacked the fuck out on E to have commissioned Millar so many times.
Thank god Wagner is coming back. The sense of diminishing returns has been overwhelming. I remember not too long ago when I would read then reread the Case Files in the same year.
It should be said again that we live in a golden age. Not only do we live in a time of amazing Wagner Dredds, but also of multiple script droids that can write the character and not make my eyes bleed.

Amen, brother. Not one of the past years non-Wagner scripts have been sub-par, and (heresey!) I've enjoyed several of them more than some of Wagner's recent Dredds, unimaginable though that would have seemed not too long ago.
As it happens, the past couple of weeks have seen me reading Progs 1050 - 1100 and there are indeed a number of cracking little Dredd stories in there. From Mad City onwards it seems that JW was in the mood for six months of old-fashioned, short and sweet MC1 wackiness.
Missing isn't a classic but it's a good, solid story and noteworthy for foregrounding the team of De Marco, Giant and Guthrie who lead the search for Dredd. I've never read Beyond the Call of Duty, Doomsday and the likes but I'm guessing this story was partly intended to bring the supporting cast back into reader's minds in advance of all that stuff.
A related question. I've been battering through the remaining unread Progs recently but haven't touched the Megs. Is there anything that I really need to catch up with in the lead up to Doomsday?
I also really enjoyed Darkside when I reread it recently. A twelve-part John Smith Dredd?! Any time you like Tharg.
Exterminator, on the other hand, was pretty duff. A two-part story stretched out way beyond its welcome.

From what I recall, Giant doesn't appear in Doomsday, but Demarco and Guthrie both play large roles.
QuoteA related question. I've been battering through the remaining unread Progs recently but haven't touched the Megs. Is there anything that I really need to catch up with in the lead up to Doomsday?
Definitely
Sleaze (Volume 3, issue 40), which is the story of the second battle of wills between Dredd and Edgar, following their first encounter in The Cal Files in the 2000ad. Also -
Worst of Frendz (Volume 3, issue 46), which establishes the whole Doomsday Scenario.
The Contract (Volume 3, issue 50), while not essential, is worth reading before Doomsday. It introduces the Assassinator droids which feature heavily in later stories. Then there's
The Connection (Volume 3, issues 52-55) which leads directly into
Doomsday (issues 56-59). Issues 60 and 61 also both include stories set in the aftermath.
QuoteI also really enjoyed Darkside
The only thing that bugged me about that story is that it never - as far as I recall - offers an explanation as to
why [spoiler]zombie Dredd suddenly wakes up[/spoiler]. However, it was originally scheduled to run in the Megazine, so perhaps that was lost in the editing process...?
Thanks for that. Would you believe that exact sequence of Megs is pretty much all that's missing from the two boxloads that Tips gave me a while back? Useless git!
Read Beyond the Call of Duty last night. It's a bit "hmm" overall but there's a great bit right at the start where de Marco arrives at the sector house and gives the exact opposite speech to Dredd in The Pit. Beeny's very much the new de Marco in that she's a foil to Dredd but he still respects her. Wonder who Hennesy's going to be. The new Anderson would be a bit too obvious surely.
I am still sitting here with no CF18 :( stupid Book Depository
I should clearly complain about the post on internet forums more often. CF18 has landed. Sexy looking it is too
Guys hi-Just spotted this thread while prevaricating on buying case files 18. Bearing in mind I am only on board this past 18 months, yeah or nay on a purchase?
I don't need huge analysis just a general steer. Thanks in advance people.
I would say 'yay' - some of Ennis's better Dredds and Wagner's Mechanismo, which has great art and a solid script.

If you don't own
Case Files 3-14 yet, you should prioritise that. There's nothing especially awful in 18, but there's an awful lot that's the opposite of essential.
Thanks guys. I realised I had a few quid left over from a gift and have been reviewing what goodies I might buy. I have indulged in a glut of thrill power over the last 18 months and right now I am hovering over case files 11, 18 and the 86ers.
I would take 11 over 18 - 11 includes Oz and the 'Revolution' storyline, both of which are essential. Plus - 'The Raggedy Man', a personal favourite.
It would be pretty daft not to just read them in order.

I never, ever claimed to be sensible. That plus the fact that I developed an incredibly acute degree of self awareness around the fact that I seemed to like the relatively more recent material which seemed to portray a more nuanced Dredd. Earlier stuff gave me the impression of being more one dimensional. I targeted my meagre resources accordingly.

Praise be! I am absolutely bloody awful at remembering comic book stories from my childhood. And when I just read Greg's post saying 'The Raggedy Man' a wave of nostalgia crept over me and a tingle ran down my spine. I bloody remember that story! Huzzah! Thanks
Greg, you've made my day :) Everything else is a complete blank except Strontium Dog 'Bitch' and now Raggedy Man! I'm going to order CCF 11 right now (which is cool, because I finished CCF 10 a while ago so am not reading them out of order)...

Brilliant stuff :D
