Cheers, I've already got them. I haven't read them for a good while now but I don't remember them being as dark as more modern Batman - Dredd always seems to have an element of humour/farce even in the more serious stories. I love it normally but I'd like a couple of books just very dark and grim.

I stopped buying 2000AD about 13 years ago and I've just recently started buying some graphic novels again. I've got some of the "classic" stories like Apocalypse War and Necropolis but I'm looking for suggestions of more modern graphic novels I can get? I love the newer Batman stories which are gritty and a little more realistic/violent and I'd like to read some Dredd stories in this vein, so are there any?
I also love Slaine and Strontium Dog, in fact - should I just start buying 2000AD again?! Is it as ggod as it used to be with even lesser known tales like "Harry Twenty on the High Rock" being of a high standard?

Er, no. Worst idea I've ever heard. The nest Batman film should be more like the first one - more realistic, less zany. Certainly no singing (and no Robin, Catwoman, Mr Freeze etc). Maybe the KGBeast?

Hehehe, nice way to spend your time there Dudley.

I liked the series where Dredd became the sherriff or something on the Moon. That sounds bizarre but I'm sure that's what it was about!

I really like the PC game - it's a hell of a lot better than the old Commodore games we got. They were just awful.
You can't replace Dredd.

I seem to remember a Slaine story using the Cauldron of Life to bring people (like Ukko) back from death - this is from Celtic mythology, and is possibly the original idea for the Holy Grail. And Scots didn't start wearing kilts until fairly recently (long after the events in Slaine or Celtic mythology).
