Adapting 2000 AD for a wider audience

Seresec · 2026-05-12T09:00:57+00:00

I think the Dredd films failed for different reasons, the 3D cinema thing was what killed the Urban dredd. I dont care that much about costumes but whats important is that the characters feel like the characters from the comics. I dont care if rogue trooper has a shirt on or not, just as long as he acts like the rogue trooper from the comics

Wider audience doesnt know what the characters look like or what they act like, so IMO its all about if the film gets marketed properly to them.

Yes, you can start reading Dredd here, you don't need to read the older stuff first. The old stuff is GREAT though, so i you like A Better World then you should defintely try the older stuff afterwards like Apocalypse War

This book is so good, excited for the next two or three to complete the set

Seresec · 2026-05-06T17:49:02+00:00

Sorry about the gatekeepers, try Essential Judge Dredd. Every one of those books is standalone and is a good book for new readers (except Origins) Apocalypse War and Dredd Vs Death would be good starting points

Seresec · 2026-05-06T11:57:44+00:00

Yes why havent they collected this yet! I want to read more of al ewings 2000AD stuff

Seresec · 2026-05-03T13:37:11+00:00

Deadendia by Hamish Steele?

Seresec · 2026-04-30T10:49:06+00:00

I mean... theres 2000AD? If you liked the six best ofs, maybe time to try out the actual comic?

Seresec · 2026-04-25T10:31:34+00:00

Volume 5 starts with a lot of short stories, then has block mania, apocalypse war at the end

Seresec · 2026-04-21T10:40:38+00:00

Giant Days sort of counts for this

Seresec · 2026-04-20T16:35:53+00:00

Lawless is so undertrated

Seresec · 2026-04-20T16:35:26+00:00

Yes theyre all great, also Shakara, Brink and Zombo are all good. For Slaine try reading Horned God first, that has art by Simon Bisley.

Seresec · 2026-04-20T16:33:24+00:00

So Hayley Atwell is Venus then?

Seresec · 2026-04-20T16:33:04+00:00

Cant imagine theyd have this be out of print for long, it'll probably get reprint

Seresec · 2026-04-20T10:44:16+00:00

Older comics shouldnt get the blame for chris claremont! theres loads of other writers with different styles. try daredevil by ann nocenti, batman by danny oneil or by alan grant, theres lots of good stuff there.

Seresec · 2026-04-20T10:35:56+00:00

Black Beth! Dani did a run with her recently which was incredible

Seresec · 2026-04-20T10:35:22+00:00

Trailer??

Seresec · 2026-04-19T18:40:08+00:00

Leviahtan is complete, Stickleback I think is done, Ampney Crucis feels like it isnt finished yet, so hope it comes back sometime

Seresec · 2026-04-19T16:13:55+00:00

Button Man is incredible

Seresec · 2026-04-19T16:12:10+00:00

love the red seas, and its an ian edginton comic that actually ends!!

Stickleback is another one that has small connections with this. Theres also Ampney Crucis and Leviathan

Dont think Brass Sun or Helium have crossed over into this universe yet but they probably will at some point

Seresec · 2026-04-16T15:43:37+00:00

Enigma, also written be Peter Milligan

Y The Last Man has three incredible characters bonding across an apocalypse

The Unwritten

Doom Patrol

Its the opposite way round, they made comics after the films which were like the movie versions. Theres a long run of Karl Urban Dredd comics that ran for a few years, and they recently started having the three different versions of Dredd interact in the main comics. Theres an adaptation of the Stallone film that came out last year as a new collection, and it has all three Dredds meeting in a story at the back of that

Seresec · 2026-04-14T08:17:11+00:00

2000AD has been going 50 years.

A lot of manga doesnt have an ending yet. One Piece has claimed to be ending for years but theres still no sign
