ANYWAYS... so, TH, assuming they'll be adapting actual Dredd storylines and not just doing their own thing, how do you think they should start? I mean Block Madness and The Apocalypse War are a full season thing and would need at least a season or two of introducing the characters and world before they would have the impact they should. The Cursed Earth is amazing, but it's just so nonsensical at times that it's something they should ease themselves into maybe mid-season or end-of-season or something, and I'd say it would be better to hold off for a season anyway.

I'm not at all familiar enough with Dredd to recommend anything, but clearly something that's Mega City One-centric and explores the basics would make the only amount of sense, but those stories are so scattershot that I don't think I've stumbled upon that story yet. I think something like The Hotdog Run would be good for late-early season/early-late season since, while it is about the Cursed Earth and not Mega City One, it's a good intro to the outside world and really sells the idea of just what the Judges are and what is expected of them. Drives home the idea that they're a new age Aryan race and that's pretty important. First Dredd story I ever loved btw.
