Regened is returning – to the Judge Dredd Megazine

[Dash Decent]

2000 AD has just announced that Regened wasn't dead after all – it was just sleeping:

They missed a trick by not announcing this merger with a "Great news for all our readers" headline.

One has to assume that this is not how they wanted things to play out (re. Regened), so they're making the best of a bad hand. Like Devlin, they're making a good fist of it.

In terms of the economics (re. the idea that they could cut out a bunch of stuff and still have it be viable), I assume the bean counters at Reb-Central know their shit from their Shinola.

Lastly, cast your minds back to March 2000, and Megazine 3.63. After two years of Preacher reprint (and Daily Star Dredd, with only one new story per issue), we were heading for a relaunch. The event was marked by a Wagner-scripted Dredd analogy of the Megazine's woes: J.D. Megson: A Near-Death Experience. "Half of it's recycled - old fittings they picked up cheap from Ennis Dillon Conapts."

Twenty-four years later, it's still standing.

So here's the solution to Regened and the issue of Dredd aging discussed on another recent thread- just go with Cadet Dredd full time.

I'll get my coat.

And when Cadet Dredd gets to whatever age Dredd was in prog 2,they can just start reprinting the oldies!

He was 33 in prog 2, so they've got a way to go yet.
