I love their editorial policy but what's the point of producing new Dredd stories? There are countless classics that the American public needs to be familiarised with

Man, I don't even... this news sort of comes during a time when I'm pretty sick of IDW's Licensed comics overall. IDW's TMNT has been nothing if not a massive disappointment. And their Infestation 'events' have been really goofy, trying to tie series together that have no business being in a cross-company crossover. I can only imagine Dredd will be in the inevitable Infestation 3.



That being said.... the possibility of stars aligning for a Dredd / Doctor Who cross-over has never been better. Also Dredd / Star Trek. IDW seems to be big on doing Crossover comics right now. Dredd / Legion of Super-Heroes anyone?!

At the very least, since Rebellion is still holding down the home-front (unlike most of these franchises IDW licenses) maybe it won't be so bad. Especially if Wagner is involved (please, please, please god not Ennis, or Miller, or Morison. Please)

[Awesome!]

55 variant covers? I have no words.

Down for the Rocketeer and for the Crow. My favorite part if this article was :

Ryall said that it was important to keep the original look and style of "The Crow" intact. "It won't look like the New 52," he joked.

55 variant covers? I have no words.

My other problem with IDW sometimes I feels the contents of a comics are just an excuse to sell a dozen variant pin-up covers.

Can't wait to see the new Mars Attacks! series and Frankenstein Alive, Alive. Also, a Simon Bisley drawn Dredd would be awesome.

Rocketeer with Chris Samnee art? Hell, yes.

[Gryphon]

Will they be working with 2000ad to reprint classic stories?

Yeah, I didn't really get that either. I am looking forward to Frankenstein Alive, Alive in May.

I have no doubt Dredd will be part of Infestation 3. Its right up his alley.
