yayyy!!!
Very exciting news. Wonder how closely they stick to the original plans.
In the megazine though? It's defiantly more suited there and will hopefully boost sales a bit. Wouldn't it be amazing if its just a lead in to the sequel? Like he Ma-Ma one off was?
Very happy with it! It like spin-off of Angel and Buffy into comic after the series ended.
I was thinking more of comic book adaption of the film to start then a whole new angle of strips along this line.

Hopefully they'll at least consult Garland to keep it on the path he wanted...

DREDD3D Comic Sequel (http://uk.ign.com/articles/2013/04/11/dredd-3d-sequel-comic-teased)
Brilliant! Love how the film look comes across in comic form, so had been secretly hoping summat like this would appear, after we had that prequel mini-comic taster.
Only potential fly-in-the-ointment is that its in the Meg, and i dont buy the Meg. Guess ill have to start now.
A reprint collection by IDW would be great, as well.
But regardless of that, this is great news.

There's going to have to be so many forum members' names graffitied in the backgrounds of each panel, the text in the word balloons will be as tiny and cramped as the writing in John Doe's diary. I'm thinking of arriving too late to see the new comic, in the hope that Alex Garland will send me a drawing of Dredd and some cool memorabilia.

I remember that when
Albion and myself got chatting to Alex Garland at the LFCC last year he said that if a sequel ever got green-lit we could be extras, if we could afford the airfare to South Africa, so I'm hoping for at least a mention!!! :lol:

As far as I can tell we have no evidence that Alex Garland isn't writing this himself... :o
Fantastic news, I do hope that Henry Flint will be on art and that Garland will be involved in some way at least.
Brain-bustingly awesome news. Who's done that teaser - ?! Looks a little like our own JTPegg but I'd say it's PJ Holden
Looks like Jock. Very angular.
I'd bet a pint o' cider that that's either Holden or Flint.
Sounds awesome, can't bloody wait!
Always said there'd be a continuation in one form or other!

Yeah I've been wracking my brains over that. It looks like Jock, mixed with Flint mixed with Willsher with colours by Chris Blythe. Not a bad comparison there...
I was going to say its Garry Brown. Its the angular nature of the shading lines. I have a record of getting these things wrong though!
Either way intriguing news. Would be nice if they were going to be able to stick to outlines or plots based on where Alex Garland was planning to go with the films. Do we know how much detail he'd got to, or was it just thoughts in his head (as would make sense as he was always realistic about the chances of a sequel.)?
The shoulder pads look very PJ Holden to me. Lovely drawing, whoever did it.
Very much hope they are planning on following the planned sequels plotlines.
So we're going to have Dredd in IDW continuity, regular continuity, and now movie continuity...?
I am somewhat uncertain about this development.
Cheers

We already have regular continuity, Legend of the Law continuity and Lawman of the Future continuity. If it's successful, it endures, if it's not, no one gives a rats arse. It'll still be more obviuous and self contained than the mess Marvel and DC make. I'd be more concerned with the Regular / IDW / DC stuff as that all looks the same, at least in this (and LOTF) he has a different uniform :D

Tapping the potential 'Dredd' audience, who do and do not read comics, with what I presume is just a 'special' or feature storyline in continuity with the film and contained in the Meg, I see as no more than a 'what if' and a good idea. It's better than putting a whole ton of capital into a new, separate publication.

Yeah - I don't think I'm the audience for this (much like LOTF). The best bit of the film for me was that they nailed Dredd as a character - which I can get every week in the Prog. But good luck to it and all involved.
I'd love to see a movie adaptation in the Meg followed up by the sequel, although I imagine that's unlikely (after all, we've seen the movie, but people are hankering for more, not a 'repeat'). On the various continuities, I don't really give a monkey's about IDW's Dredd, but I would like to see more of the movie Dredd, and if a strip in the Meg is how it can be done, I'm all for that. Frankly, I'd sooner the Meg becomes more Dreddish anyway. I loved those earlier issues, but it these days still often strays into becoming a monthly version of 2000 AD.
I wonder whether there is any mileage in releasing the source artwork publication.
Since some artists work in elements, it would make it easier for anyone who fancies doing it to create motion comics from the source, in the same way that was done for the film itself.

Neat idea!
Thanks.
I quite liked the idea on the Dredd 3D facebook page where they released elements (even if the art was a bit variable) and encouraged people to make their own posters.
Smart poster (first thought was Henry Flint but, on a closer look, the drawing is very Jock) but I can't say I'm thrilled by the prospect. Naturally, if it turns out to be a good story, I'll be happy enough but, in contrast to Indigo, my first thought is that two different Dredds further restricts the space for other stuff in the Meg.
Yeah, I'd be gutted if another Dredd strip meant we couldn't have 20 pages of photo strip. :p

Ouch. I quite enjoy American Reaper. I reckon the Meg is a good place for it to be, as this sort of storytelling would not work in the weekly (IMO).

Arf! The problem being that it would likely be two different Dredds
and 20 pages of Look In.
I'm really liking the idea of this. What I'd like to see is a bit more of the film's version of Mega City One. I loved the more grounded, realistic vibe it had. Found it very striking. If I can have one thing in this new story, that would be it. :)
It's not me (Though I wish it was).

Wow, sounds like an awesome idea! And like some have already stated, i would love to see Henty Flint or Kev Walker on art duties; Flint's work for the prequel story (Top of the world, Ma Ma) was awesome. And so much better than his very recent work on Zombo in my opinion.

Why when we already have a great Dredd strip already? I dont actually see the point of this.

Drawing in fans of the movie who haven't picked up the prog / meg yet? It's a possible untapped market. Smart move imo.

I'll admit to thinking the same thing when I knew IDW were doing their own version of Dredd. Not so much the second sentence - I
can see the point - but I still think it's a shame that they didn't find a market in the States for 2000 AD or the Meg- I.e. our dredd- rather than creating their own continuity. (I am intrigued by the Matt Smith scripted year 1 series, but I'd have preferred it to have been set in our Dredd's continuity.)
I am very much looking forward to the upcoming film strip though. Again, I see your point, after all they're essentially the same character, but I am intrigued to see where they take this. And it could be an alternate 'early days of Dredd' story.

Shouldnt the film have done that? How is a new Dredd comic going to attract people who arent interested in reading an already existing Dredd comic?

A lot of the people who saw Dredd likely weren't comic fans, or at least weren't Dredd fans but read comics, but quite a large amount of them have vocalised that would like to see a continuation of film-Dredd at least in some form. It's also something else to put in the Megazine to attract readers and buyers for a while. I don't see how anyone can see it as a bad idea. The reaction to this announcement from fans of the film and the publicity it's gotten outside 2000AD's circle of influence is an indicator of that.
If it's a one-off or seldom special-feature rather than a continuous strip, how is it bad for Rebellion, and why should they not exploit this extension of their property that has gained another pool of interest?
Considering the general increase in sales of Dredd related publications outside the UK since the film's release and the its growing audience via retail video sales, I can't think of a better idea. Not everyone will buy it of course but plenty will, especially if 2000AD get it on their
app and elsewhere, digitally.
More sales = good.
It's as if peopel don't want more Dredd ::)
The Dredd comic.. sequel.. thing gets a brief mention in this week's Empire Podcast, in a wider discussion about movie novelisations and book/comic spin-offs.
One wag quips that the comic will probably have the same budget the first movie did...

Good spot Steve, it really does.
His Dredd helmet is normally totally different though (even taking the 'movie' helmet into account).
I'm genuinely curious now.
