[Nelson Daniel]

Here it is folks the on ewe have all been waiting for and to start it off we have two covers.

Cover A - Nelson Daniel
Subscription Variant - Michael Avon Oeming

The American Way of Death - Part 1
ART - Nelson Daniel
SCRIPT - Swierczynski

This starts off with Judge Death doing his stuff in the Grand Hall of Justice, while we have Judge Omar and Karyn talking to each other telepathically. Straight away we find out that this is not their first visit to the city! We see the Judges try to fight back against the four Dark Judges that we know of and then we start to see the new ones!

Page by page we are introduced to these characters, as we see how they do their dark deeds. First up is Judge Choke, quickly followed by Fistula, Burroughs, Skinner, Sleep, Metastasis, Stigmata and Sludge. We then see Judge Omar confront an invisible/misty figure that seems to suck him into it and into a dark area! Is this this the last Dark Judge?

While this is going on we see Judge Cal take control of the situation by rescuing the Chief Justice and the Council of Five. He evacuates Sector One and we see that certain people will be evacuated first (it never changes).

It ends with Death saying that they are going to take the rest of the city!

STORY - Swierczynski

This is the back-up strip and it deals with Dredd on Titan. As he arrives the place is rioting and the robots in charge of the shuttle go to sort the situation out. Three hundred and seven moon seconds later one returns in a bad state and sets Dredd free to resolve the riot!
Off he goes with the pilots helmet on his head and a laser whip in his hand! No sooner is he outside of the shuttle than the robot initiates the self destruct. Outside he's feeling the effects of the atmosphere on his lungs when he meets Harvies from the back-up strip in issue 14. The shuttle explodes and Dredd is knocked unconscious.

We then get two pin-ups from Nelson Daniel, both Judge Choke and Burroughs, with a little write up from the writer.

I'm not going to rip it apart, as it does a good job of that on its own, but you really have to see Judge Metastasis in action to believe it

I won't show a pic as that would spoil the surprise of how this one looks, honestly

Latest Dark Judge is........

Clever, using the old reverse psychology trick. So from what Molchr has said I have extrapolated that the sequel will be in our local multiplexes around March 2016. All I need now is another denial and I'll be able to get the exact date.

That's it, although I may watch the Thames version myself

The Bat logo!

Title of series, look closely and you may see something

Save it for Saturday when I record you saying some words, then edit it all about face to have you confirming a sequel is on its way

Just look at that lovely smile and even in his hour of need he can still post a typical Scottish meal for us all to marvel at

2000AD's publishing manager, Ben Smith has been talking to Bleeding Cool and it's quite an interesting article, which you can find HERE!

I was really interested in this part And with Underbelly having proven itself there will be more from the world of movie DREDD. And after that? Even more new ventures.

So it seems that we will be seeing more 2012 Dredd tales coming our way

It was on the 'Font of all Knowledge' the internet

Out of nowhere there seems to be a story going 'round that some news will be forthcoming at Comic Con (which I presume is San Diego). No idea how reliable this is but who cares, GO SEQUEL

I'll be there for 09:00'ish to see the cosplayers and take some photos before I join the queue for 10:00 entry.
There are a few pubs near by, so once at the event I'm sure someone will decide on which one to pop in.

I did show Sam a Dredd model that I had actually built and painted when he was a baby and before I could stop him he had knocked it out my hands and smashed it against the fireplace. It was either drop him from my arms and catch the model or watch it impact in slow motion, sadly I 'had' to choose the latter

Still, this more than made up for it. Both taken in the conservatory and the second one was slightly altered by Minty Director Steven Sterlacchini

[PART 1 is here!]
