Because Necropolis, to be honest, isn’t the whole storyline by any stretch. It’s also a damn big story – although not as big as it was originally. Seriously, just absorb this bit of Wagner/Ezquerra brilliance, all that foreboding in Wagner’s voiceover, all that moody, evocative work in Ezquerra’s art… it’s a masterclass… Because rather than just being a damn fine bit of Wagner/Ezquerra produced adventure where Death and the gang wipe out 60 million citizens, Necropolis is actually all about so much more the descent of Kraken, the months of misrule from the Dark Judges, all leading up to the return of Dredd and the restoration of Justice.Īnd then, even more is going on here, with everything taking place against the backdrop of everything Wagner had already set up in Dredd to do with the democracy movement and Dredd’s increasing unease with the Justice Department.īasically, it’s all that and so much more, with Wagner and Ezquerra the ultimate Dredd double act to give us one of the truly great Dredds.
Well, obviously the answer is yes to all that, but that’s not the point, not at all. Will Dredd be able to get back into the Big Meg, reclaim his badge from the imposter Judge Kraken and retake MC-1 from the grip of Death, Fear, Fire, and Mortis? Judge Dredd Megazine Vol.It all kicks off with the 5-part prequel, ‘Countdown To Necropolis’, opening with Judge Kraken, another of the Fargo bloodline clones – just like Dredd and Rico – facing his execution, only to be saved by a Justice Department all too keen to keep the Dredd name on the streets and thinking that Kraken is just the clone for the job – or so they think.Īnd then we get the return of the Dark Judges and we’re careering headlong into Necropolis itself with the body count going up and hope running out for the citizens. Only in-print collected editions are listed.
Some of the progs have never been collected.
From this point on finding some in-print collected editions becomes difficult. The Complete Case files are at this point in the chronology currently.
