Avery has adjusted to his post-WWII life in Alabama, but when an altercation with some local boys leaves him hurt, an unlikely bystander steps in.

“I Am the Law”: How Dredd (2012) Captures the Spirit of the Judge Dredd Mythos

-
Image
In the long shadow of comic book adaptations, Dredd stands as a lean, gritty, and faithful tribute to one of the most iconic antiheroes in comic history: Judge Dredd. Far removed from the neon kitsch and narrative misfires of the 1995 Judge Dredd film starring Sylvester Stallone, Dredd is a stripped-down, brutal, and grounded take on the lawman of Mega-City One. But more than just a hard-edged action flick, Dredd is deeply embedded in the lore and philosophy of the original 2000 AD comic series. Dredd is a film that doesn’t just adapt the character it’s portraying —it understands him. The being that would become synonymous with the faceless reality of justice first appeared within 2000 AD issue #2 back in 1977, and was the brainchild of writer John Wagner and artist Carlos Ezquerra .

Blade Runner 2019 Complete Series Omnibus Review – Expanding the Cyberpunk Classic

-
Image
Blade Runner 2019 is one of those rare tie-in collections that manages to feel both faithful to its source material and daring enough to expand it in meaningful ways. Published by Titan Comics, this omnibus gathers the entire twelve-issue run of Blade Runner 2019, the first major comic project set within Ridley Scott’s celebrated cyberpunk universe. Co-written by Michael Green, who co-penned Blade Runner 2049, alongside veteran comic writer Mike Johnson, and illustrated by Andrés Guinaldo with colors by Marco Lesko, this volume does more than simply repackage a story. It provides a complete and cohesive experience, one that enriches the Blade Runner mythos while standing strong on its own as a noir detective saga. What makes the omnibus immediately striking is how it situates itself within the larger timeline of the franchise. The story unfolds in Los Angeles in the year 2019, parallel to the events of the original 1982 film, yet it does not rely on cameos or overused references to kee...
