AND A COMMIE AS WELL NO DOUBT. Only patriots and MEN have stubble.

*I support the IDW Dredd series 100%* <-- I'll include this tag in every cynical post I put in this thread

Love that cover, absolutely fantastic. Really looking forward to seeing more of Garry Brown's sequential work on The Massive when I pick it up, but his covers are great.

[SuperSurfer]

Beard or no beard, I really like that.

Can't find the Brendan McCarthy thread where it was discussed that he was doing a backup strip in the new comic but look, look here

(well you have to scroll down quite a bit so I'll copy a quote across too)

JUDGE DREDD #2

(W) Duane Swierczynski (A) Nelson Daniel, Brendan McCarthy (CA) Zach Howard, Greg Staples
In Mega-City one, Judges ARE the law. But what happens when a veteran Judge goes bad? And he's so skilled at hiding his misdeeds that even Judge Dredd is unable to dig up the evidence he needs? Looks like it's time to choose psis... from the Psi Division, that is!
IDW's all-new ongoing series continues here, with the re-introduction of fan-favorite JUDGE ANDERSON! Don't even think about skipping this issue. Because... well, she'll *know*.

Its in issue 2 WAYHEY!!!!!!!

No no no. It's time to choose the SJS surely

Really? Could you see Dredd going to the SJS?

[James Stacey]

Yes I can. It's the rules and Dredd is a stickler for them there rules. The only time I can think of Dredd deliberately avoiding the SJS is during the Pit when he was concerned the SJS judges were corrupt themselves

Dredd has a long history of mistrusting the SJS, starting back in the days of Cal.
I'd suggest that's it's only now he is starting to thaw, and even then only to one or two individuals.

I'd also suggest that we wait to read the story before making any judgement (as it were) calls on the plot.

[James Stacey]

Absolutely, we don't know the context of the story, just struck me as odd. I'd argue however that Dredd probably has a longer history of distrusting Psis.
