Bold Fashion Choices--"I Am The Law--Of The Catwalk!!"

What, you say that it's about time Mega-City One updated it's judges' uniforms?

Be careful what you ask for...

Yup, it's unveiling day for the new, sentient suits--and FASHION!!

And of course, Judge Dredd gets to be the guinea pig.

Yeah, the suit, aside from looking marvelous, let's him dodge bullets!!

Run scans in the field!!

Make...fashion critiques?!?

Uh-oh...

Soon the suit decides to go on a little bit of a fashion rampage!

Um, that's the same reasoning Judge Death uses to justify killing all the living, dumb suit!!

The "nano-sentient" uniform abandons Dredd...

...Dredd has to borrow so clothes from a helpful citizen...

Anyway, Dredd blows the disobedient colthes to little bits.

The moral of our story?

Where No Dredd Has Gone Before?!?!

Since IDW seems dedicated to using their Star Trek license for every team-up conceivable--Star Trek/Green Lantern! Star Trek/Doctor Who! Star Trek/Planet of The Apes! Star Trek/Legion Of Super-Heroes! Star Trek/Transformers!!--is it to much to ask that they next make this one real?

After all, IDW does have both licences right now...

I mean, instead of doing their, what, 19th Mirror Universe story, they could give us...

OK, not this, precisely. This was fun enough, but never really rose above the level of a one-off Mad Magazine parody.

Which is fine. But why settle for that, when you've got the chance to do the ultimate "optimistic future meets pessimistic future" 6-issue mini-series and highly marketable trade paperback?

Hopefully, it would have a better ending for the Federation boys than this one...

C'mon, IDW--what do you say?

Mega-City Stink Man!!

A hitman has come to Mega-City One!

Dredd tracks him down, and Woo is already in combat with hordes of bad guys. Dredd takes a stray shot...

He's fine, but the translator in his helmet is drokked up!

So...

When they're surrounded by Tongs, they have to team up...

You all must use that phrase at work today: "My iron balls are like marshmallows now!"

Any, it turns out that Woo is really an undercover cop from Sino-City, so it's all one big John Woo film, and Dredd has to let him go.

But how badass was Johnny Woo?

That badass.

Ape Law!!

Because every once in a while...

...you need to see Judge Dredd fight a bunch of monkeys.

Manic Dredd Day Triple Overtime --Dredd Hates The Oldies!

CRIME BLITZ!!

What's going on?

 It makes you wonder what type of music Dredd does approve of. Probably none, now that I think of it...

Manic Dredd Day--No Presents For Dredd

No one gives presents to Joe Dredd--no one!

Fair enough, Joe.
