The Blackflame website has some details of the 2000Ad novels that will follow on from Gordon Rennies adaption of Dredd V?s Death, details below.
Title: Judge Dredd: bad moon rising
Release Date: April 2004
Author: David Bishop
Mega-city One, 2123 ? and the city is patrolled by a new kind of law enforcement. The pressures of living with 600 million other people has driven the crime rates sky high and it?s the job of the judges to maintain law and order. Each one is judge, jury and in the worst crimes, executioners. The most infamous of these street judges is Dredd, a grim and solitary man whose life is the law. Now the city has been flooded with a new enemy and when the bad moon rises, all hell is set loose!
Title: ABC Warriors: The Medusa War
Release Date: April 2004
Author: Pat Mills & Alan Mitchell
On the front lines of the medusa war, Hammerstein, the taciturn Joe Pineapples, and the veteran Happy Shrapnel lead a squad of rookies, straight from the factory, into battle. The human officers are safely behind the lines in underground bunkers, directing the battle. They can communicate directly with their robots by radio, and watch their progress on a holographic image ? they can even plug into the robots thoughts. But when the stench of rebellion crosses the battlefield, each robot must choose sides or die!
Title: Judge Dredd: Black Atlantic

Author: Simon Jowett
The poisoned waters of the Black Atlantic are the hunting grounds of the Cityships. Born from the unhappy union of tankers carrying the kind of toxic waste no country would accept and ships loaded with stateless refugees from the increasing number of warzones.

If she?s innocent, he'll save her from the people who have framed her. If she?s guilty

There's a few factual errors in this blurb. The book is set in the year 2126 AD and the population is circa 400 million, not 600 million. Alas, my Non-Disclosure Agreement prevents me discussing the plot...

Question for "Top Bitch" Bishop *g
Was this the same writing experience than doing the Dredds for Virgin back than, or where there another set of rules? I enjoyed the Virgin novels, but sometimes there were very thightly written, esspecially in terms of continuity. On the other hand I guess this is a case of damned if you do and damned if you don?t.

Just thought I'd drop in a correction of my own; Eclipse's title has now changed to "Judge Dredd: Total Eclipse". As the not-blurb indicates, it's set on Luna-1 and features continuity with the classic Judge-Marshal stories and Rob Williams's forthcoming strip 'Breathing Space'.
