Welcome to "Dredd Reckoning"! This blog is no
longer being regularly updated, but it includes discussions of all Judge
Dredd-universe graphic novels as of January 2013. (To be more specific: every
squarebound book reprinting Judge Dredd
comics, or other comics set in that world, that's not made redundant by a later
book.)
If you're wondering where to begin with the Dredd comics, there's a special post
about that: Where
to Start Reading Judge Dredd. (Short version: nearly every volume is self-contained,
although there's a definite historical progression. My personal favorites among
the in-print volumes are America, Case Files 5 and 14, and Brothers of the Blood, and I'll be
psyched to see Day of Chaos and Trifecta, both of which are excellent, collected
this year. Of the spinoffs, I especially like Chopper: Surf's Up, Mega-City
Undercover Vol. 02: Living the Low Life, The Taxidermist, and Devlin
Waugh: Red Tide.)
For those of you who don't want to monkey with the
sidebar--or for those of you who want the complete, anal-retentive
chronological reading order for all things Dredd-related--here are all the
books we've covered in order of "earliest otherwise unreprinted story,"
as closely as I can approximate it, with links to the blog entries:

One other note: if you buy any books
from Amazon or Powell's via the sidebar or the images at the top of (most) individual posts, I get a
little cut of the proceeds. And if you happen to have both a Kindle device and
Amazon Prime and would like to do something that puts money in my pocket but
won't cost you anything, I'd love it if you could borrow my Kindle Single
"Comic-Con Strikes Again!" from the Kindle lending library. Thanks. I
hope this site is helpful to you.
