About 14 months ago, Dynamite announced that they had obtained the American rights to produce an original Judge Dredd series, shepherded by Garth Ennis and John Wagner.
We here at Slay Monstrobot were pretty excited about the announcement. 'Cause we loves us some Dredd. Hell, we even liked the version DC did back in the 90s.
But since then, silence. Nothing. Nada. Despite Dynamite president Nick Barrucci's announced plan to publish "a new Judge Dredd series featuring all new stories in early to mid 2009," nothing seems to be pending. There's not even a mention on the Dynamite web site.
So what gives? Did the deal fall through? Has Dynamite been distracted by having to arrange infinite variant covers by John Cassady and Alex Ross for all their titles? Are they too busy putting out Stargate prequels and Evil Dead mash-ups and the all-important Galactica: 1980 to make time for the series that they themselves made a big announcement about acquiring?
(Note...please please please give us an Evil Dead/Sherlock Holmes series...because we haven't run the mash-ups idea into the ground quite thoroughly enough yet).
Basically, what I'm saying is: Dynamite, where the hell is Dredd??
Oh, and while you're at it, Dynamite, how about some in-print and reasonably priced Dredd collections? Thank you.
