DCnU 1st Year Anniversary Special #1 : Heroes Missing


DCnU : The Missing Pieces, the Heroes we've lost!

One year.
One long, year of the DCU New 52. One long year filled with roller coater ups-and-downs that have delighted and aggravated fans across the comic-readership spectrum.
There have been first attempts at crossover, some successful (Night of Owls, Rotworld) and some... not so much (The Culling, Basilisk Rising) and – so far – three waves of releases including the titular first wave of 52.
There are books I've loved and books I've hated and some that aren't quite in either camp – others still that started at one place and jumped to another. The point of all this is, dear reader, that it's been pretty crazy as you're well aware.
BUT! This first year over and DC releasing a whole slew of #0 issues this week, we're looking at finally getting at least some of the many questions about origins and continuity answered (hopefully) through these titles.
With this in mind, we here at Comic Addicts are starting a series of weekly specials that will cover various aspects of the DCnU, from reviews to top-10 style lists and others. Starting now! (so click ahead and read on!)

His name is Dredd! (Special 2012 Movie lead-in) Part 1


Folks, we have a special guest poster in the house today – and he's brought with him his encyclopaedic knowledge of all things Dredd!!
In anticipation of the release (starting 7th September for the lucky... ducks in Canada, UK and Spain!) of the awesomeness that promises to be Dredd 3D, we've asked our expert comrade to give you the Judge Dredd crash course! Today he brings you his take on the character and his history as well as thoughts on the 90's Stallone movie and the new one coming down the chimney soon.
Enjoy this romp down Mega-City one lanes and be back here soon for Part II of this Dredded (sorry, couldn't help myself!) expose where we bring you some of the best story-lines from the hard-a$$ law-mans career! And now : to the article!!

Judge Dredd Special Feature
By Stewart Loud

It always shocks me how many people I speak to who've never read any comics featuring 2000AD's premier law man, Joseph Dredd. With that in mind and with the impending release of the new Judge Dredd film, Dredd 3D (September 2012) starring Karl Urban, here's a piece outlining who he is, what his world is like and what makes him one of the greatest and most original comic characters in the world, as well as a few brief reviews of some of my favourite Judge Dredd stories.
