I really appreciate this. As someone who's never really experienced Judge Dredd, I find in very refreshing that you guys put together a video like this. A bigger, more "sell sell sell!" minded company would just say "Start from the beginning and buy it all! Muwahahaha!". Or, more likely, they'd just remain silent, and leave a prospective reader to puzzle it out themselves, or try to find a consensus on the internet. So kudos to you guys, I plan on picking some of these up in the near future.

@@kohnnfloriann8501 I find the Stallone Dredd to not be as bad as people want it to be. Yes, he breaks the major rule of taking off his helmet but man that movie gets a lot of life in Mega City 1 right. Early Dredd had a lot of silliness to it that they weren't afraid to use.

Well I've got the first two case files in printe and started kindling the shit out of Dredd, Nemesis the Warlock, Nikolai Dante and Ro-Busters and eyeying more. Only just bought the fifth Casefile a little while ago. I was surprised that after the big Judge Cal storyline that comics became shorter again. Well there is the Judge Child story but that was certainly more like the Cursed Earth epic than the Cal one...minus any characters really sticking out, aside from Mean Machine and the Judge Child of course. Loved the Dredd movie and a shame it did not do better. Aaah so glad several 2000 AD comics are going on Kindle.

The comic had some difficult times around the mid-1990s where readership fell and some strips weren't up to scratch. But it very much depends on what kind of Dredd you're looking for - there are some real gems during Garth Ennis' run and Wagner's return in the late 1990s produced some corkers.
