Anyone wants a Dredd Story-Time?
I don't
Always.
Megacity 2 doesn't seem so bad.
>>65237500
Fuck yeah Dredd
Awww yisss, City of Courts!
Sorry, cant continue dumping
PARTY'S OVER
Not liking the art style, but Dredd is Dredd no matter what.
I read this run. As a 2000ad Judge Dredd reader I thought it was an entertaining diversion with a lot of fish-out-of-water humour, but it felt an issue too long.
I also thought the people looked too cartoony, but I can see how this is done by design to emphasise MC2's phony, smiley-faced vibe, where officially issued guns have teddybears on them. The buildings, structures and vehicles are tremendously detailed and interesting to look at, though.
I'd still recommend it to Dredd fans looking for something different - Dredd is still Dredd-like, but the setting is a new twist. It's by far the most interesting IDW Dredd comic I've read so far.
>>65237500
My question is why have we had two JD movies by Americans but none by Brits?
Why have the people making DrWho not done this?
Storytime is always appreciated, OP.
With OP gone I will pick up the slack with one of the more fun recent stories. What is it like to be an alien to MC1?
>>65246173
Don't think Glen from the office is your friend, Klegg. Aren't all Glenn's like that though?
>>65246201

It's those nice gentlemen from The Hunters' Club! (apostrophe included.)
>>65246324
Yes, the Kleggmanity.
>>65246354
Grud on a greenie, I love Weston's art so fucking much! Dude's amazing, all the detail of a Joe Colquhoun with all the tricks of a modern artist. And Dowling's colors are beautiful.
>>65246381
Need bigger guns than that to get through a Klegg's hide. First guy had the right idea.
>>65246416
MLK famous for bitin' them arms off.
>>65246401
It's amazing. Great composition, lines are so clean, the colours fantastic. And it's on a fun little two-parter like this to boot.
>>65238385
fuckin dredd
>>65246476
Oncey, twicey. Slicey, dicey...
The Kleggs' were great poets during their stint as Cal's enforcers. No wonder they know who teh Bard is.

Unfortunately, anons, this is the last page... /sad.
Really looking forward to this new Helltrekkers if they include Sensitive.
Finally got my gf to watch Dredd. She loved it.

>Karl Urban in leather? What's there not to love?She was more interested in MaMa
That said, she even remarked how the Judges uniforms made her wish she had a badass costume just to have around.
>>65246757
Haw! And yeah, I can relate to that. I imagine the sheer restrictiveness of it must basically force you to stand, walk and move like the baddest badass.
>>65237500
I was all in, until I saw Farinas on the cover. I refuse to be party to anything that self-righteous prick has done. Furthermore, I hope he drowns in a vat of shitty off-brand chocolate, so he can truly know what it is to be brown in his dying moments.
Oh man this is great! What year is this from? I haven't really gotten in to very much dread because all of what I've seen has been in black and white or old art styles, but I'm very much loving this!
>>65248813
It's actually from earlier this year. Five-issue mini. As for Dredd, it's actually been in color for a nice couple of decades now, and if you're looking for cool modern artstyles, Kev Walker, Henry Flint and Carl Critchlow have all done splendid work on the strip.
>>65248945
nice bro! thanks a lot!
>>65250670
You're welcome! If you're looking for something more modern and cool, try the new Anderson mini by Matt Smith and the aforementioned Critchlow. And if you feel like jumping into Dredd proper, try the stories "The Pit", "America" and "Total War". They're all pretty modern and all kinds of awesome, especially America.
>>65250785
eyyy u the man! I've been looking stuff up and yea America seems to be a good one, and the Anderson one doesn't look too bad! Man, I'm really glad i watched Dredd 3D or i wouldn't have even been interested in this guy, but Dredd's a real beast! Just read Year One a few days ago, its niceeeee
>>65250785
One more favor if its not too much, you know where i could find the arc with the Klegg, or the issue number? I enjoyed that story time, id like to get more background on that one.
>>65248945
>Henry Flint
There's a fantastic trade collection of stories with Flint's art. It was my introduction to 2000AD.
>>65251049
The Sensitive Klegg arc happened in issues 1888-1889 of 2000AD. For more background, read "The Day The Law Died", which introduced the Klegg, and "Trifecta", which introduced Sensitive Klegg. That said, Trifecta can be a bit weird if you read it outta the blue, and I'd strongly recommend reading at least "Day of Chaos" before it.
>>65251078
Nice! Thanks for the tip.

I love a bit of dredd.

>>65254498
BOOT KNIFE!
I'm not displeased that the dredd 3D movie has bought judge dredd into the mainstream a bit more, but it was lacking some things that I liked from the comics (I assume for the sake of accessibility).
But then I like the stallone dredd in all its cheesey glory. Still the only movie ever to have an ABC warrior in.
>>65256459
This is the (second) alternative Dredd world for American tastes.
>>65259056
>I like the stallone dredd
You, sir. I like you.
>>65259056
Overall Stallone flick Felt like Mega City One. Not The Raid Redux
>>65260555
The whole opening sequence was rad as shit.
>>65259056
>>65260494
>>65260555
>>65260593
Not only that, but I think it captured some of the camp that really makes dredd dredd. I mean some of the comics were about super-fat people rioting.
>>65260555
>The Raid Redux
The Raid started to be developed much later than Dredd...
>>65260593
>>65260619
The first bit of the movie up until Dredd removes his helmet is really good, Schneider and silly standing around shouting aside. Most of it is design work, although I do feel like the flying cars and bikes deprived Mega-City of its "thousands of highways going nowhere" look, which is very pivotal to the design.
The problems with Sly's Dredd start, for me, once the plot kicks in. Slowly, surely, the movie starts lodging itself up its own ass, becomes too serious for its own good, and by the end is completely unrecognizable as a Dredd movie, turning itself into a generic sci-fi action film. Even the visuals, which by then had been one of the saving graces of the movie, are all but gone of the third act save for Hammerstein.
>>65260990
Well they gave it a good shot. Shame about the helmet removing, Hershey love interest and the angel gang getting a look in for some reason.
>>65260990
>>65261039
It's a shame too, he had the jaw for it. We all knew who it was anyway, why did he take the helmet off!?
>>65261039
Man, the Angel gang looked SO GOOD. I know most folks go nuts about Hammerstein, but Mean Machine looks fucking amazing, right out of a Kev Walker or Simon Bisley page.
http://www.bleedingcool.com/2014/09/04/judge-dredd-goes-partwork/
Hoooooooly fucking shit, /co/, this fucking thing. This thing's got me fucking drooling.
>>65261343
Muh dick.
>>65261343
>>65261607
I want to sub, but it doesn't say how many issues there will be and that annoys me.
>>65261607
I know, right?! Holy shit, and I know those editors, they're the ones do those DC figurine things. Which we've actually gotten down here, in newsagents and all. And even after exchange rates, it's still a pittance. I have the law-est boner right now...
>>65261728
According to that huge image of how the spines would look, 60 "issues".
>>65262023
On the one hand, want. On the other hand that's what..an issue every two weeks, so 106 weeks which is two years!
>>65254584
Is that it? Because if it isn't I demand more.
>>65262174
Yup, issues come out fortnightly, every two weeks. And man... I dunno how good Brit salaries are right now, but exchange rates included that's about 137 of my pesos, and I would sure as fuck spend 300 bucks a month for that kinda material.
Fuck, I sound like the shilliest of shills, but I really want that!
>>65262175
It's actually a five issue mini.
Evening all,
Does anyone know how many parts the current Megazine story Dead Zone will run for? And the Lawless strip for that matter. I am really enoying both of these strips, with Flints grotesque artwork and the old fashioned black and white style of Lawless.
>>65262277
But think about it, for the £600 you could probably buy pretty much every dredd ever anyway.
I'm still pretty tempted though.
Could a kind anon storytime the rest of Mega City 2?
>>65262326
Sorry, can't help you there. But series in the Megazine tend to run pretty short, 3-4 installments. Lawless may prove an exception tho', being a new series.
>>65262352
I think a lot of it could come down to how good the editions are. Still, I'm a sucker for a good hardcover.
>>65237500
How could we not? Also, Thanks OP :)
>>65263595
>:)
>>65260319
yah you can tell he's kinda soft in these stories
>Rusty Bitcoins
Git on up!
>>65262277
>>65261343
Fuck, i'm always really wary of these "COLLECT EIGHTY ISSUES TO BUILD YOUR MODEL STEAMBOAT ONLY £1000 TOTAL" series, but i've been meaning to buy the whole Case Files collection/
Would this compare?
>>65264426
These ones look like they're out of order, more geared towards new fans, and each book will probably be way smaller than the Case Files. If you can get them at a good price and if you're more about having ALL OF DREDD I'd stick with the files, but this collection could be a good idea if you're looking for hardcovers of specific arcs.
>>65264524
I require ALL DREDD.
ALL OF IT.
I remember getting a Dredd badge with an issue of 2000 AD a good decade ago when I briefly collected them. That stopped when I got Limeade all over the ten comics i'd racked up.
Ah well.
>>65264751
In that case, and since you're clearly well acquainted with Ol' Stoneyface, I'd recommend the Case Files. They're great bang for your buck, and will give you a chance to start from the beginning, if that's what you're into.
>>65264276

Beautiful. Thanks for the storytime!
Thanks OP. I have pic related if there is interest in a classic era Dredd strip, perhaps for the sake of comparison, but also because... werewolves.
>>65263486
Is that an Alien/squid hybrid in the tank? I know there was a Dredd/Alien crossover a few years back but I don't know if it's canon.
>>65267037
A Steve Dillon drawn strip. Here we go...
>>65267092
Judge dredd vs. aliens?

>>65267582
>>65267631
Chapter 2 in this colourised/slightly edited Cry Of The Werewolf strip.
Fuck yeah, Cry of the Werewolf!
>>65267618
Biggest favorite of all time has to be the Apocalypse War. Other than that, I love America, Oz, Necropolis, Origins, and the whole Tour of Duty/Day of Chaos/Trifecta storyline from the last few years. Also, I know it's terrible and wonky, but I still have a soft spot for Judgment Day.

>>65267723
Ah cool - my reading of Dredd has been patchy, in that I'd go with whatever the local library had when I was a penniless teen. That said, I'll always have a soft spot for Helter Skelter and Necropolis - they were the first ones I read
>>65268070
Just Dredd things
>>65268109
>>65268097
My first were the Doomsday for Megacity One graphic novels.
>>65268138
>>65268184
Onto the concluding half of our Werewolf stomping romp through the undercity of MC1.
>>65268097
Oooh, Dredd in your library? I'm jelly. And those two are pretty good in my book too, though Helter Skelter hits a lot harder after a few good years of reading other 2000AD stories.
>>65268148
That was the Nero Narcos storyline, right? Really good stuff, though the ending was kinda bleh. And it does lead into a very important moment for my fav Dredd character.
>>65268252
>>65268255
That's the one. Then I read one of the later anderson ones where she finds god aliens on mars and I was not ready for that.
>>65268322
>>65268375
>>65268430
>>65268471
>>65268520
>>65268255
Aye, I've not read it since - current plan is to buy up the complete case files and read through every damn Dredd in order.
My library was great for Dredd - I got through Necropolis, Satan's Island, the Henry Flint collection, several of the PJ Maybe stories, Childhood's End (third arc I read, so I missed a lot of the significance) America (possibly my all time favourite!), and of course Judgement in Gotham.
>>65268559
>>65268358
Woof, those space-faring Anderson stories by Grant were really something else. I remember hating them on my first read, but the more I read them the more I grow to appreciate them.
>>65268581
Sounds like a plan! Also, daaamn, somebody in there must've been a fan.
>>65268599
>>65268645
>>65268645
Drokking badass.
>>65268697
>>65268631
Haha, now I think about it, there was a ton of Dredd/2000 AD stuff there - possibly more than the Marvel and DC stuff...
Also, it's a sad part of growing up when I have to leave a Dredd storytime thread because I have to be at work early tomorrow... Have a good one Judge Anon!

So glad I was wrong

Judge Dredd is a very serious comic about very serious things. Occasionally.

Ulises Farinas is a little shit. I don't want to taint a Judge Dredd storytime, but he really is.
