In Mega-City One, Dredd arrests Batman for possession of illegal weapons (the contents of his utility belt) and accuses him of vigilantism. Mean Machine flees to Gotham using the belt, then wanders into the city looking for Judge Death. As Mean Machine attacks Batman, they are both confronted by Judge Dredd. Among the remains of his host body, Batman finds a dimensional jump belt that he accidentally activates, transporting him to Mega-City One, where he is confronted by Mean Machine Angel. Batman defeats Death, who flees in spirit form.

Instead of Dredd and Alpha executing Sabbat the Necromagus, they drop dimension-bombs to shift the whole zombie horde into a different reality – this means disaster for all the other characters published in the pages of 2000 AD, as the zombies infect everyone from Rogue Trooper to Sinister Dexter, from Ace Trucking to The V.C.s.Judge Death makes a dimensional jump to Gotham City, murdering two lovers and a police officer.

Over thirty years since the end of the world was averted by Judge Dredd and mutant bounty hunter Johnny Alpha in 1994’s ‘Judgement Day‘ by Garth Ennis, Dean Ormston, Peter Doherty, Chris Halls, and Carlos Ezquerra, The Darkest Judge is a blistering ‘what if?’ that sees the myriad of worlds from 2000 AD’s 45 years converge in an explosion of death and destruction! Here's the publisher's official description for the book: This storyline explores what might have happened if the zombies from Judgment Day traveled to other realities and began invading the other serialized storylines in the 2000 AD magazine.

The Darkest Judge is a sequel of sorts to 1994's Judge Dredd: Judgment Day. 300 of these will be sold at SDCC at the Rebellion/2000 AD booth, while the remaining 200 will be made available for 2000AD subscribers to order online through the 2000 AD webstore. This version is limited to just 500 copies. (Image Credit: 2000 AD)Ĭapullo's cover is a variant that will be sold exclusively at San Diego Comic-Con this summer.
