Interesting tid bit, this comic spelt the death kneel of the partnership between Grant and Wagner. I agree there are aspects to the story that are lacking. But, I do hold a soft spot for it, I'm a sucker for Post-Apoc.

All I know about this mini-series is that it was the thing that, along with the ending to the Judge Dredd Oz story basically turned Grant and Wagner against each other and permanently ended their writing partnership
When Marvel meant something
>>91291201
What? What happened with Oz?
>>91291200
>>91291201
Aye, sad really but not many things are permanent.
>>91291231
>>91291239
Sad state of affairs really. But did take a peek at that Karnak storytime, looks interesting.
>>91291272
>>91291290
>>91291236
It's a long story but the short version is that Grant came to absolutely HATE Judge Dredd and kept turning in stories where Dredd and the Judges were outright evil villains, in terms of terrorizing and killing and imprisoning innocent people and to keep the Judge system in place.
Wagner tolerated this from his partner for about a year until they started work on "Oz", which was the first major Dredd "epic" in a couple of years.
Grant basically kept demanding Dredd murder, in cold blood just because he could, a reoccurring supporting cast member (Chopper) who spent the arc running from the Judges (after being arrested on trumped up charges) and fleeing to Australia for sanctuary.
Wagner, having tolerated Grant's bullshit, went ape and pulled rank towards vetoing the ending because he knew it would destroy the script. Wagner and Grant broke up as a partnership afterwords, with Grant forced to do one-off stories and Psi Judge Anderson stories while Wagner controlled Judge Dredd and had to put out the dumpster fire Grant started

>>91289856
Is he a Native American?
>>91290120
That's the best baseball cap.
>>91291231
There was that fun edited page about a couple of Thor-villians forming a black metal band and going on a tour.
That's the sorta shit I'd buy in a heartbeat.
>>91292849
Isn't dc doing some metal thing soon?
>>91291231
epic put out its fair share of dogshit
some of it was just pictures of dinosaurs
Pretty interesting so far. Nothing groundbreaking, but I've always enjoyed these kinds of cold war era apocalypse stories.

Well folks, that's the end. Thank for for reading and going through my first time at story timing something.
>>91306167
Nice
Thanks for the storytime.
>>91306185
Thanks OP. Reading it and loving it so far.
>>91289856
OMG, I've been trying to remember the name of this comic for years! Thank you OP.
>>91289861
In part because it's one of the only places I know that use the full Oppenheimer quote, which makes a lot more sense than the truncated one.
>>91290607
And this bit, too.
I didn't know from comic authors as a kid, but now I recognize the writers, and I'm surprised two Brits have such a good knowledge of upstate New York.
I remember my first storytime
Well done OP
>>91289856
I haven't read this in fucking years
my favorite cover art is all the dudes with the Nixon masks
thanks OP
>>91307401
>and I'm surprised two Brits have such a good knowledge of upstate New York.
Being Brits and working from GB, they had the chance to look such things up and work them into the story without having their friends and families abducted and chopped up by editors.
Because that's what they do whenever they catch one of their artists or writers in the US doing research.
Or so I imagine.
I mean, nothing else actually makes sense.
Goddamn.
>>91307670
>without having their friends and families abducted and chopped up by editors.
They do worse than that.
They send them upstate.
thanks op. that was a cool storytime
>>91305282
40% less bullet per bullet. Cave Johnson would be appalled.

Thank you and your welcome! Just have to figure out what I want to story time next.
>>91308290
Very bleak yes. I think my favorite panel is the doll saying "I'm hungry!" and the pile of bones behind it.
>>91310641
Oh very!
>>91312318
Wish someone would storytime the shadowline universe.
