It has to be the Apocalypse War for me. It just seems to ramp up all the way through, turning the screw a little tighter with each installment. The art is also fantastic - Esquerra turning in some marvellous stuff week-in-week-out. It also has a special resonance because I spent a lot of my early years waiting for what seemed to be the inevitable US-USSR conflagration to drag us all down with it (a hazard of being a kid growing up right next to an RAF base in the latter half of the Cold War I think) and it taps so well into some of that imagery and sensibility that was already in my head.

Apocalypse War, has to be. Fabulous.
City of the Dammed as a follow up.
Then.... Hmmmm....... Judge Child quest I think (oh the TV War episode is fab) followed by Graveyard Shift. Hang on how long is Graveyard Shift? Isn't curse of the Werewolf longer? And where's Dredd/Angel?

Entirely arbitrary on my part Phil.
Much as I love Apocalypse War it is nudged into second place by Necropolis. Bloody amazing epic and finally a massive Dark Judges tale in Dredd. Again King Carlos rocking it epic style but this time 31 weeks on the bounce and painted.

Since the only Dredd stories I've read are Necropolis and Apocalypse War courtesy of the Scots crew I feel poorly qualified to judge. However, since the current contest seems to be between those two I shall throw my hat in for Necropolis- I still remember the artwork, and the whole think being just less grim than Apocalypse War which was just plain horrible in many, many places. My thinking that may identify me as not being in the target audience for Dredd.

MY stack of about 800 200AD comics is sat waiting to be read. Give me a year and I should have an opinion.

I don't really know anything about Judge Dredd besides the Stallone film Me neither, but I do notice there is another film out this year which has the nice girl from The Darkest Hour playing 'Cassandra Anderson'. Martin |

I didn't care for the Dredd film, more because it was deadly dull than anything else.

I don't mind Judge Death, but I can see why it doesn't work for some people. Dredd is a bit of a kitchen sink setting, from the streets-level Cyberpunk satire to the weird magic stuff, and it can sometimes be a bit of a bumpy fit. I don't mind them coexisting, but then I don't entirely see Dredd as a single coherent fictional universe anyway. Karl |

Judge Death in that universe males as much sense as if he popped up in Coronation St.
