The Day of Dredd Arrives on 3rd October 2026!

Rebellion is delighted to announce the creator line-up for The Day of Dredd, an international celebration of the ultimate lawman of the future, Judge Dredd, on 3 October 2026. 

A titanic celebration of one of the most famous characters in comics history that will give fans the chance to share in their love of Judge Dredd, The Day of Dredd will be marked by creator signings at locations across the UK – Birmingham, Bristol, Cambridge, Liverpool, London, Southampton, Belfast, Glasgow, Manchester, Norwich, Sheffield – as well as the first ever official 2000 AD signing in Prague, Czechia! 

The line-up of guests creators includes: Andy Diggle, Anthony Williams, Barry Kitson, Ben Willsher, Boo Cook, Chris Weston, Colin MacNeil, D’Israeli, Dan Cornwell, Dave Kendall, Dylan Teague, Ian Edginton, INJ Culbard, Jake Lynch, Joe Currie, John Higgins, Laura Bailey, Lee Carter, Leigh Gallagher, Liam Sharp, Mick McMahon, Mike Perkins, Nick Percival, Patrick Goddard, Peter Doherty, PJ Holden, Pye Parr, Rob Williams, Robbie Morrison, Sally Jane Hurst, Silvia Califano, Simon Davis, Staz Johnson, Steven Austin, Stewart K Moore, and Tom Foster. 

The Day of Dredd is the perfect day for readers new and old to discover 2000 AD’s biggest character and Britain’s greatest comics export — a hardline future cop created by John Wagner (A History of Violence) and Carlos Ezquerra (Preacher), who has been bringing justice to the mean streets of the vast Mega-City One for almost half a century, both thrilling readers and satirising everything from Margaret Thatcher to Donald Trump, from fad fashions to freedom fighters. As well as helping launch the careers of some of comics’ biggest names, Dredd has become one of the most iconic characters in British comics and even part of the English language! 

With the 50^(th) anniversary of 2000 AD and Judge Dredd fast approaching in February 2027, with special plans to celebrate the occasion to be announced in the coming months, The Day of Dredd is a chance for fans to pass on their passion for The Law as well as for new readers looking for a way into one of the most important characters in comics. In addition to the long-running and best-selling Judge Dredd: The Complete Case Files series, the Essential Judge Dredd line of graphic novel collections gives readers the opportunity to encounter the big epic storylines that have influenced not just comics over the last fifty years but global culture!  

Day of Dredd signings will be taking place at selected Forbidden Planet and Forbidden Planet International stores, as well as — thanks to the help of the Czech publisher of Judge Dredd, CREW — the Krakatit bookstore in Prague. 

Don’t miss the chance to dive into some Dredd on 3 October — obey the Day of Dredd!

Judge Dredd Compact Comics announced for 2027

Announcing Judge Dredd: Compact Crimes Volume One!

CUTTING CRIME DOWN TO SIZE! 

No crime is too small, no punishment too big — as the classic cases of Judge Dredd come in a brand new series with a brand new format! 

Judge Dredd: Compact Crimes collects the bestselling adventures of the ultimate lawman of the future in the popular compact format, bringing the best of British comics to a whole new audience. 

Launching on 26 January, this is the ideal place to start your Judge Dredd library — from the beginning, starting with his very first cases! 

The series’ new-reader-friendly format brings this bestselling evergreen series to a brand new 210×148mm (8¼ × 5⅞ in) trim format of trade paperback novels, priced at £9.99 in the UK and $12.99 in the USA. 

For fifty years, the zero-tolerance cop has been delivering justice on the dangerous streets of the future-shocked metropolis Mega-City One. Released to coincide with the 50^(th) anniversary of Judge Dredd and his home, the cult sci-fi weekly comic 2000 AD, volume one kickstarts the new Compact Crimes series in a shelf-friendly format, with a price point that’s perfect for introducing new readers to UK’s most successful comics character. 

As well as stories by Pat Mills (Marshal Law) and John Wagner (Star Wars: Boba Fett), the first volume features artwork from British comics royalty, including Brian Bolland (Batman: The Killing Joke), Mick McMahon (The Last American), Ian Gibson (Halo Jones) and more. 

In February 2027, 2000 AD will celebrate its 50^(th) anniversary with a series of special events and publications highlighting the legacy and impact of five decades of groundbreaking comics, which have helped fundamentally change comic book and world culture. Appearing in the second issue of 2000 AD in 1977, Judge Dredd soon became its biggest character, leading to two major feature film adaptations as well as countless comics sold across the globe. 

Collecting every case in order from almost five decades of 2000 AD, Compact Crimes will bring readers the groundbreaking classics that have made Judge Dredd a global name! 

Judge Dredd: Compact Crimes Vol.1 will be available on 26 January from all good book and comic book stores, as well as from online retailers and digitally from 2000 AD’s webshop and app.

‘Rogue Trooper’ Review: Duncan Jones’ ‘2000AD’ Adaptation Is A Fast, Funny, Visually Mind-Blowing Old-School War Movie – Deadline

‘Rogue Trooper’ Review: Duncan Jones’ Visually Mind-Blowing War Movie

Like most post-Star Wars fantasy movies, Rogue Trooper starts with a crawl, and this is a long one, which will perhaps be a deciding factor for audiences expecting a quick hit. The premise is that, somewhere far away, two rival factions — the Norts and the Southers — are fighting over the toxic planet Nu Earth. Vital to the Southers’ battle plan is the use of genetic infantrymen, a battalion of clones whose thoughts can be downloaded on to a chip and reused if the host body is destroyed. It’s a tough concept at first, but it does explain how — after a particularly violent opening mission — platoon leader Rogue (Aneurin Barnard) comes into possession of a talking helmet (Daryl McCormack), a wise-cracking backpack (Reece Shearsmith), and a sentient gun (Jack Lowden).

Like most war films, the war being fought by the lower downs is very different to the war being fought by the higher-ups, and when Rogue begins to suspect that his platoon has been sent behind enemy lines by a traitor in their midst, he decides to go … well, rogue. From here, the film becomes a fantastical Apocalypse Now-style journey upstream through the hell of war, which takes Rogue through wild vignettes populated by a series of grotesques, showing the likes of Diane Morgan, Jemaine Clement and especially Hayley Atwell (who plays the ass-kicking Venus Bluegenes) as you’ve never seen them before.
