You'll no doubt find me pop up on here with stupid questions I can't find answers to.
1/ The reason you can't post on certain threads is because a moderator needs to be sure you aren't a spambot or a mentalist before approving you. Try asking nicely to be made up to full member here; if that doesn't work, the WEBSITE AND SUGGESTIONS section of the forum has a thread called WHY CAN'T I POST ON SOME THREADS?, where supplicants throw themselves before the mercy of the court.
2/ They gave him a partial rejuve in a story called
Carousel, which appeared in Megazine 375. Theoretically, he can now go on forever.
3/ Case Files 5; the one with
The Apocalypse War,
Blockmania, and Brian Bolland drawing the four Dark Judges.
Halo Jones, Sláine: The Horned God, Bad Company, and Strontium Dog: Agency Files 2. Out of modern stuff,
Cradlegrave, Leviathan, and
Ordinary.
4/ Don't worry; it seems mad to us as well. It's Pat Mills's least popular strip, and this is the final series, so don't feel you need to try to catch up.
5/ It got the character right, but it needed a bigger budget. Ideally, the proposed TV series should have the tone of the second film with the effects of the Stallone movie.
6/ We all started reading as little kids, either because the first issue came with a free gift or because our big brothers passed their old issues onto us. We stopped when it got rubbish in the nineties then started again once it wasn't rubbish anymore.
7/ Stay away from the Politics Thread.
8/ The Hachette Mega Collection partwork reprints some Dredd stories unavailable in Rebellion's own reprint series, but a lot of them aren't very good. The same publisher's Ultimate Collection reprints 2000ad stories other than Dredd (as well as some Dredd) and seems like a much better way into good stories you've missed. They're only available in the UK.
9/ Don't bother with IDW's American format Judge Dredd comics.
10/
Big Dave. Maybe Michael Fleisher's
Rogue Trooper.
