    Judge Dredd: Cursed Earth
    The first, fantastic Dredd saga is now available in an awesome paperback! When plague devastates Mega-City Two, Judge Dredd volunteers to deliver the vaccine that will save its last remaining inhabitants. But first, he and his crew have to travel 1,000 miles across the Cursed Earth, the savage radioactive wasteland which separates the cities. With cannibals, dinosaurs, mutants and insane robots between the Judges and their goal, it’s not going to be a smooth journey! Featuring work by fan favourite Brian Bolland (Batman: The Killing Joke) and classic Dredd artist Mike McMahon (Slaine), this shouldn’t be missed by any Judge Dredd or 2000 AD fan!

      I think Matthew raises the key issue regarding Judge Dredd in that it needs to be viewed through a British lens. It’s a picture of American culture taken to its absurd conclusion in a post-apocalyptic world. This is relevant if you look at the culturally influential punk and post-punk stuff that was going on during the time that these stories were published.

      The judges aren’t supposed to be heroes. They’re the symbolic embodiment of society abdicating all responsibility to the authorities. It really stimulates the ol’ sociological imagination.

      Something else I that I don’t think was brought up is how Judge Dredd is aging in real-time, much like Constantine. He’s still a young man in this story, but he’s over 70 now.

      y’know, i’d give alfred the benefit of the doubt that he knows how to cook beyond your stereotypical english fare. i definitely remember a few issues during the jason todd years where alfred totally busted out the pot roast. and i know i’d eat the hell outta some pot roast, whether alfred prepared it or not. so yeah. i do agree with zach that dick (and for that matter, tim drake) knows how to cook, based on what he picked up from alfie p.

      jason todd, especially post-resurrection red hood jason todd, is totally a raw ramen dude.

        also, FYI: The Raid is an Indonesian film. if you liked it, you’ll be happy to know the sequel’s already on its way thanks to the success of the first film.

      It’s funny to me how everyone compares the film Dredd to The Raid but in my mind any story that involves the protagonist making his/her way up a building to confront the “final boss” reminds me of Bruce Lees’ Game of Death more then anything else.

      1. I think Avengers Arena is more based of BATTLE ROYAL than Hunger Games.

      2. The Star Wars comic is actually a 1 of 6 not a 1 or 3. Wood planned it as a 3 parter then changed it to six. Mr. Stradley and company didn’t have enough time to change it. And it is an ongoing. Atleast it is until the turn over.

      As an English man and a professional chef I must object to of characterization English cuisine, I hardly ever boil meat and have never encountered fish wrapped in newspaper. ;)

      Also just for the sake of clarity Dredd had finish filming before work started on the Raid so any influencing would have gone in the other direction.
