Fear. Fire. Mortis. The Dark Judges have returned to 2000 AD!
The countdown which has been running at www.2000adonline.com came to an end earlier today and the site has closed, replaced
with a single image bearing the legend ‘THEY ARE HERE’.
Readers have been tantalised over the past month by a series of teaser images published through Comic Book Resources (below left),
which began as oblique symbols before slowly revealing the impending return of the terrible threesome. They must now wait to see
what will be unveiled…
As part of the on-going Day of Chaos mega-epic, Judge Dredd co-creator John Wagner
has unleashed Judge Fear, Judge Fire, and Judge Mortis onto a Mega-City One already
reeling from the Chaos Bug epidemic, mass civil revolt, and terrorist attacks. In a storyline described by SFX as “both gripping and very compelling. It’s like watching news of a reallife crisis unfolding on TV”, the multi-faceted plotline offers current, lapsed, and new readers a rollercoaster of thrills.
Warped parodies of the Judges of Mega-City One, the Dark Judges are undead superfiends from a dimension where all life has been declared a crime. Originally led by Judge Death, who has since been sucked into Purgatory by the souls of his victims, the Dark Judges were created by John Wagner and Brian Bolland.
With a stunning cover by Henry Flint, this has been the most keenly anticipated 2000 AD
event in years.
Prog 1781 goes on sale on Wednesday, priced
at £2.35 in the UK.
