Thinking ahead, one thought I've been having over and over again is what else I can put on this blog besides just reviews of the IDW Judge Dredd series. Is there a need for me to cover the Dredd stories in 2000AD, the Megazine, and anything else Rebellion might put out, for example? They're already pretty well established and there are people reviewing them. I don't want to repeat what they do unless I can provide a new take on it, something that'd be worth reading. Moreover, since I'm British, the point of this blog was to evaluate my knee-jerk scepticism at the idea of another company taking the character on.
The thing is, there aren't that many issues of Judge Dredd yet. Issue 19 comes out this month. By the time I catch up, there'll probably be 20something. What then? One post a month? The 'Who's Who in Judge Dredd?' (Best. Acronym. Ever.) helps flesh things out a bit, keep readers abreast of what's going on and also should help me spot any continuity errors that might occur. A timeline of Dredd, perhaps? Since Dredd is an enigma, he appeared fully formed in every comic that's featured him, it might be useful to keep count of what's known about him, and see how Duane Swierczynski's Dredd differs from John Wagner. While I want to amuse the reader, I also want to inform.
There are other Dredd series in the IDW line: City of Courts, and a Judge Anderson series by 2000AD editor Matt Smith. They look like obvious subjects for reviewing. So, obviously, I'll include them.
Please share any thoughts you might have in the comments thread. I'm not running dry just yet, won't for a few months to come, but it is important to think ahead. What would you like to see? While this blog is going to be primarily concerned with IDW's Dredd, any other ideas that interest me sufficiently may find space on another blog.
