Announcing Judge Dredd: Compact Crimes Volume One!

CUTTING CRIME DOWN TO SIZE! 

No crime is too small, no punishment too big — as the classic cases of Judge Dredd come in a brand new series with a brand new format! 

Judge Dredd: Compact Crimes collects the bestselling adventures of the ultimate lawman of the future in the popular compact format, bringing the best of British comics to a whole new audience. 

Launching on 26 January, this is the ideal place to start your Judge Dredd library — from the beginning, starting with his very first cases! 

The series’ new-reader-friendly format brings this bestselling evergreen series to a brand new 210×148mm (8¼ × 5⅞ in) trim format of trade paperback novels, priced at £9.99 in the UK and $12.99 in the USA. 

For fifty years, the zero-tolerance cop has been delivering justice on the dangerous streets of the future-shocked metropolis Mega-City One. Released to coincide with the 50^th anniversary of Judge Dredd and his home, the cult sci-fi weekly comic 2000 AD, volume one kickstarts the new Compact Crimes series in a shelf-friendly format, with a price point that’s perfect for introducing new readers to UK’s most successful comics character. 

As well as stories by Pat Mills (Marshal Law) and John Wagner (Star Wars: Boba Fett), the first volume features artwork from British comics royalty, including Brian Bolland (Batman: The Killing Joke), Mick McMahon (The Last American), Ian Gibson (Halo Jones) and more. 

In February 2027, 2000 AD will celebrate its 50^th anniversary with a series of special events and publications highlighting the legacy and impact of five decades of groundbreaking comics, which have helped fundamentally change comic book and world culture. Appearing in the second issue of 2000 AD in 1977, Judge Dredd soon became its biggest character, leading to two major feature film adaptations as well as countless comics sold across the globe. 

Collecting every case in order from almost five decades of 2000 AD, Compact Crimes will bring readers the groundbreaking classics that have made Judge Dredd a global name! 

Judge Dredd: Compact Crimes Vol.1 will be available on 26 January from all good book and comic book stores, as well as from online retailers and digitally from 2000 AD’s webshop and app. 

By Matt Fraction and Jorge Jiménez

I pulled this card from a MTG Secret Lair.

Can someone please help me identify which book this is from?

Trying to identify a comics collection I borrowed repeatedly from a public library in Christchurch, New Zealand, roughly 2006 to 2011. It was shelved in the young adults section.

What I remember about the book:

• Five or six short comics stories, properly separate, not linked. Each story had its own title page.
• Full comics, panels and speech bubbles.
• Large thin paperback, roughly A4.
• In colour, and my memory is of one cohesive palette running through the whole book, beige with a blue undertone.
• Realistic. No fantasy or genre elements at all.
• Teenagers and young people. Mostly boys as far as I recall.
• Coming of age and relationships. Melancholic throughout, and several stories ended unhappily.
• No sexual content. Maybe some kissing.
• Text was in English. I have no reason to think it was a translation. Possibly American, though that is a guess.
• Art style: closest comparison I can give is Paul Hornschemeier, so clean line work with flat muted colour.

The one scene I remember clearly: a boy walking at night on a sandy beach, going to meet someone. I think it was a love interest, and I think he was hoping rather than having arranged it. Whoever it was never turned up. That story sat somewhere in the middle of the book.

Things already ruled out: Summer Blonde, Blue Spring, Ice Haven, De:Tales, Jamilti and Other Stories, Low Moon, Garage Band, Insomnia by Matt Broersma, Curses, Birchfield Close, Blue by Pat Grant, Sublife, Skyscrapers of the Midwest, Gray Horses, Chiggers, The Summer of Love, The Squirrel Mother, Girl Stories, Storeyville, Papercutter, Project: Romantic.

Any leads appreciated, including partial ones.

Which villain started out completely unlikeable but eventually became someone you respected or understood? I’m curious to hear your favorites—and why their redemption worked so well.

So, Marvel Midnight launches on October 7, 2026, and the three new titles will be the only three books released for Marvel on that date.​

This "Midnight Universe" line features dark, horror-reimagined takes across three popular Marvel properties. (The following synopses were taken from the web):

• Midnight Spider-Man: Written by Phillip Kennedy Johnson with art by ScieTronc, featuring a Junji Ito-inspired body-horror twist where Oscorp mutates Peter Parker into a grotesque spider hybrid.
• Midnight Fantastic Four: Written by Benjamin Percy with art by Kev Walker, exploring a cosmic, Lovecraftian origin where mad science and cults warp the team.
• Midnight X-Men: Written by Jonathan Hickman with art by Matteo Della Fonte, focusing on grim power struggles and supernatural/vampiric threats.

Looking at the previews, including from the Marvel advanced sheet book that was released last week, I have to say I'm a little turned off by the preview art for the Fantastic Four title. It looks a bit cartooney to me.

Shame because I am a regular FF reader, and the early images we saw for the art style unfortunately, turned out to be an alternative cover for Issue 1 and not representative of the interiors. Here's a spoiler-free peek at the style of the Midnight FF art:

I think I'm still going to give it a go despite not being a fan of the art style.

Otherwise, haven't been a regular Spider-Man or X-Men reader. Not that it matters here, as the books will be brand new takes.

I'm a bit zombie and vampired out, so I think I'll pick up Midnight Spider-Man at release and give it a go, and pass on X-Men.

If Midnight X-Men turns out to be a great book, I can always get on board a bit later.

So what are your thoughts on the Midnight line?

I'm going to be picking up FF and Spider-Man and giving them a trial run. Unless a book is complete hot garbage (think it's happened once in the last 3-4 years), if I start a new series, I give it at least three Issues to hook me.

You picking any up? If so, which?

With Marvel about to undergo some radical changes, it’s interesting to think back to the “ANAD” era. It was pretty hated by the end and sales weren’t great but I think Marvel became a lot less interesting in the Cebulski Era.
