Book Review // Judges Volume Two edited by Michael Carroll
It felt like it was time to get back into Judge Dredd.
I've got a few Dredd books sitting on the shelf waiting for me, and Judges Volume Two had been waiting the longest. So, eventually, I had to stop ignoring it and pick it up!
And I'm bloody glad I did.
And, naturally, I'm already wondering what bits I can nick for Sector 102...
Grubb's Disease: The Fungus That Kills You From the Inside Out
What if the most dangerous thing to walk into Sector 102 wasn't a mutant, a gang or a Judge...
But a man covered in mushrooms?
Today we're diving into one of the strangest and most horrifying diseases in the Judge Dredd universe:
Grubb's Disease.

Meet Judge Mal Folio: The Judge Who Balances the Books
Who keeps the Judges paid, equipped and on the streets?
Meet Judge Mal Folio, Sector 102's Accounts Judge—and probably the last person you want looking too closely at your finances.
While Street Judges chase perps, Folio follows the money. Tax evasion, corporate fraud, missing credits and suspicious transactions… if the numbers don't add up, he's coming to investigate.
But in a sector as messy as 102, what happens when the Accounts Judge starts looking too closely at Kelp Pharmacy?
The latest Adventures with Peps lore deep dive is now live.
The Ledger is watching.

What happens when a Judge is sent to the Cursed Earth… and comes back looking for revenge?
In my latest audio review, I’m diving into Judge Dredd: Crime Chronicle – Blood Will Tell — a story packed with ex-Judges, mutants, Justice Department secrets and a mystery that slowly starts to unravel.
And, naturally, I’ve already started stealing ideas for Sector 102…
Is Garris Hale a villain, a victim, or something in between? Let’s find out.
Comic Review // Judge Dredd: Titan
Warning: Dredd timeline anomaly detected! 🚨 I know I'm supposed to be reading Judge Dredd in order, but Titan landed in my collection and I couldn't resist. Ex-Judges, Wally Squad, Space Corps, aliens, Dirty Frank and a Dredd who suddenly feels a whole lot older... this one had everything I love about the Dreddverse. And, naturally, it's given me far too many ideas for Sector 102. Dive into my latest review and see why I couldn't put this one down!
Audio Review // Crime Chronicles: Stranger Than Truth by David Bishop
What happens when a fictional serial killer steps out of the pages of a book and starts murdering people in Mega-City One? Crime Chronicles: Stranger Than Truth brings back one of my favourite oddities, Slick Dickens, in a wonderfully twisted Judge Dredd mystery. I've also been thinking about how this whole idea could sneak its way into Sector 102... because apparently I can't read a Judge Dredd story anymore without stealing ideas for my own world!
Comic Review // Missionary Man: Going South — God, Guns & Mutants
What do you get when you mix a preacher, mutants, nuclear wasteland and a whole lot of bullets? Missionary Man! I've finally pulled Goin' South off the shelf, and it turns out it was exactly the sort of Cursed Earth madness I needed. Great artwork, brilliant post-apocalyptic Western vibes and, naturally, plenty of mutants. And yes... I'm already wondering how I can get some of these nightmares into Sector 102.
Comic Review // Devlin Waugh: Swimming in Blood
Vampires, demons, flower arranging and a Vatican Exorcist Assassin walk into Mega-City One... Yep, we're back with Devlin Waugh! One of my favourite 2000 AD characters, Swimming in Blood was exactly the warm-up I needed before diving back into Judge Dredd. It's violent, ridiculous, stylish and gloriously weird—and it's left me wanting much, much more Devlin. Come find out why this collection has reignited my 2000 AD itch!
Comic Review // Judge Dredd: The Cape and Cowl Crimes
What happens when superheroes decide to fight crime in Mega-City One? Judge Dredd isn't impressed! The Cape and Cowl Crimes throws Dredd into a world of wannabe heroes, Kleggs, bat-gliders, vigilantes and some wonderfully ridiculous comic-book chaos. I picked this one up from my local library and settled in for an evening of Dredd—and while it wasn't perfect, there are some seriously fun stories hiding inside. Come see which ones hit the mark... and which ones deserved a sentence!
The Vatican in Judge Dredd: Humanity's Most Dangerous Ally?

Sector 102 // Exploring the Wild World of Pan-Africa
One of my favorite things about diving into old sci-fi settings is discovering places that feel completely different from the usual "one giant empire rules everything" future. Today, I am heading to one of the most unique regions in the Judge Dredd universe: Pan-Africa and wow, what a place it is.

Book Review // Judge Dredd: Dreddlocked
It’s been a while since we dove into a Judge Dredd novel, and this one has been sitting on the shelf far too long. It feels good to finally get it read and checked off the collection. It’s also helping to fuel my push into building up my Dan Abnett block while I continue to paint up my collection of Warlord Games Judge Dredd models. So this time around, we’re jumping into book three of the Virgin series, so let’s dive in.
Sector 102 // The Legend of Max Normal
You can tell a lot about a person in Mega-City One by what scares people around them. Gang bosses fear Judges. Perps fear iso-cubes. And somehow… criminals across the city feared a guy in a pinstripe suit named Max Normal. Yeah. That Max Normal.
Come on over a read more about this unique normal citizen.
Sector 102 // Novar: The Psychic Kid from the Cursed Earth
The kid had powerful psychic abilities, future sight, telekinesis, the whole deal. And despite growing up in the radioactive madness of the Cursed Earth, he had this deeply empathetic streak. A strong sense of right and wrong, he saw evil clearly. Maybe too clearly.
Today we learn about Novar.
Sector 102 // Stan Lee Deathfist in the City
Deathfist aka Stan Lee a deadly assassin from the Radlands of Ji. Not only did he beat Judge Dredd in a fist fight, but he also created the universe! I know sounds weird so come read his story.
