Judge Dredd is a comic book series by IDW Publishing, based on the character of Judge Dredd from the British comic magazines 2000 AD and Judge Dredd Megazine.

There is also a third series, titled Judge Dredd - Classics, which is a republishing, in color, of the original British stories and is not part of the IDW continuity.

Judge Dredd

In November 2012, IDW Publishing began the Judge Dredd monthly series written by Duane Swierczynski and illustrated by Nelson Daniel.[1] The series ended after 30 issues.[2]

The series included several long-term plot elements, such as rebelling robots, a Judge serial killer and the Titan moon, where ex-Judges go.

Judge Dredd – Year One

The four-issue mini-series Judge Dredd – Year One began publishing in March 2013, and is set during Dredd's first year as a judge.[3]

Judge Dredd – Classics

Starting with a Free Comic Book Day issue in May 2013, and an ongoing series later in July 2013, IDW began publishing classic Judge Dredd stories in full color. The FCBD issue contains the first Judge Death story. From there, the series continued with the "Block Mania" / "The Apocalypse War" storyline.[4] Eight issues in the ongoing series have been released.

Mars Attacks Judge Dredd

In September 2013, a new four-issue mini-series started as part of the IDW-wide Mars Attacks cross-over event.[5] The Martians have decided on a subtler infiltration of Earth...through Mega-City One's criminal element. They are more than willing to sit back and have their Earth-bound agents buy out the competition with legitimate tactics. For now.

Judge Dredd – Mega City Two

Starting in January 2014, IDW began publishing a five-issue mini-series titled Mega City Two: City of Courts.[6] The city that has unfolded from the remains of Hollywood is not quite like Mega-City One. The Judges are forced to carry stun-guns only and nearly everyone is interested in fame and glory. Quite possibly, before justice. Dredd, however, is keeping his cool as he's sent in to teach Mega City Two a lesson.

Judge Dredd – Anderson, Psi-Division

Starting in August 2014, IDW began publishing a five-issue mini-series titled Anderson, Psi-Division, which continued to explore Dredd’s early years as a follow-up to the Judge Dredd – Year One series.[7]

Judge Dredd – Mega-City Zero

Starting in December 2015, IDW began publishing a series titled Mega-City Zero. Ushering in a brave new era, Judge Dredd awakens to find that Mega-City One has been sent back to the Stone Age, with city blocks overgrown and nary a citizen to be found. Witness as Dredd struggles to unravel the mystery as he copes with being just an ordinary Joe….[8]
