Thankfully (YMMV obv.) light on Dredd for a change and spotlighting some other works either not featured before or in limited quantities, like Nikolai Dante, the entire run of Absalom and Brink, plus most if not all of Slaine. But a massive bundle of reading materials for a very, very low price in your currency of choice.

Nice! I own all those via the Ultimate Collection.

Only duff I see is Cabballistics (ruined by the art, as you can rarely tell who’s who) and maybe Brink? I say maybe as I need to be in the right mood, and binge it. It’s very slow burn for a 5 page per prog.

As much as I try to be a 2000AD fanboy, I am constantly finding myself feeling salty about most of it being All Dredd, all the time.. Waiting for bundles on my 2000AD faves such as:

-ABC Warriors
-Nemesis The Warlock
-Strontium Dogs
-Rogue Trooper

Nikolai Dante may well be up your street. Expansive, little to no retcon, but self contained.

One of the series I can return to time and time again.

Oh? thanks for the tip, I'll look into Dante then

Judge Dredd is cool, but the large arcs they do so often can burn one out on the setting, only so many times you can see large parts of Mega City One being invaded or reduced to rubble by some massive event before it becomes a bore to go through. Personally, I still feel the worst case was Block Mania, quite an arc in itself, quickly followed by the massive Sov invasion. Since then we've had I don't know how many similar events. It's why I much prefer single prog stories, or tighter arcs like.. oh.. what was it called, the Pit? Where Dredd goes in to hammer out the corruption at an infamous sector house, complete with Joe making mistakes of his own. Also, the first arc of America is damned good, the other two are outright miserable stories that the author has apologized for in some form because of the misery some characters are put through there.

Rogue Trooper may see a resurgence when the movie finally hits, I know news is light on it right now, but it might be that Rebellion is holding back on Rogue bundles for now until the movie is here.

As for this bundle, it's good that you can read all of Brink in one go, as it is a slow burn, but it takes things into directions I quite liked, but will not spoil here. 😉 Absalom is also quite good, pretty grim, but I enjoyed it a lot. Biggest win for me is all of the Slaine stuff, I've been meaning to get into it, but previous bundles had low quality scans of the older issues, which had, shall we say, rough art from time to time that wasn't properly scaled.

Only dud for me is Devlin Waugh, I can see what they wanted to do, but it didn't come over well with me.

Dredd is about the follow up from the big events.

Chaos Day heavily depopulated MC-1. Everything since then has been dealing with the ramifications of that.

Devlin Waugh is one of my faves.
