They're back, and Rebellion is giving us a taste of what's to come. CJ cowers before the Dark Judges...
2012 is a big year for Mega-City One lawman Judge Dredd in both comics and cinema, so it's no surprise that some of his deadliest enemies are getting in on the action.
2000AD's publisher Rebellion have uploaded five mini comics starring Dredd to their digital comics site Clickwheel. The comics are free, complimentary, and on the house.
These tales were previously exclusive to The Metro newspaper, but have been put up online in the same week that the Dark Judges made a comeback in Prog 1781 after a decade-long vacation.
The Dark Judges of Deadworld - originally Judges Death, Fear, Fire and Mortis - are psychopathic spirits from a parallel reality who inhabit corpses. The malevolent zombies view all life as guilty, punishable by death.
Sound like a fun bunch, don't they?
