You Can't Have An Apocalypse Without A Gloomy Voiceover
It's just the law of apocalypses: You can't feature the destruction of all (or most) life on Earth, without throwing in a gloomy monologue explaining exactly how we blew it all to hell. It's the way things work around here. Typically, these monologues include scenes of devastation as well as a droning voice talking about viruses or bombs or people not washing their hands. Here are some of the greatest: More »

New Judge Dredd Movie Getting Danny Boyle Treatment?
The 1995 Judge Dredd movie may have failed to please fans of the justice-dispensing, motorcycle-riding Megacity One lawman. But that hasn't stopped the movie biz from trying again... this time with British producers.

America's Future Hero Killer Returns
In a world filled with super-heroes, only one man stands against authority figures abusing their power in ways that we can't even imagine: Barack Oba - No, wait, I mean Marshal Law. That's right, the anti-hero from the 1980s with the fetish for zippers and the need to kill super-heroes is back just when we needed him the most. More »

Judge Dredd Inspires A Different Kind Of Australian Justice
The new Chief Justice of Australia is fond of inserting Judge Dredd into his speeches. The good news is, he doesn't actually want to emulate the dystopian enforcer. The bad news is, he's presenting the movie version, starring Sylvester Stallone. More » -

Five Scifi Cycles To Adore
We've given it a lot of thought, and come up with the only possible explanation for why The Dark Knight was such a big hit: The Bat-Pod. From Easy Rider to Ghost Rider, theatergoers have been going wild about tight butts on hot hogs for years, and Batman's sweet ride is just the latest to make those cash registers sing. With that in mind, we'd like to suggest five more motorcycles that Hollywood should consider taking a(nother) look at.

The Awesome Artificial Face Of Future Crimefighting
The future of law enforcement is going to be much less Judge Dredd and much more Robocop, according to one British professor who claims that we are less than 50 years away from a society policed by robots and controlled by those with their fingers on the robots' on and off switch. More »

Why Does My City Scream?
Just as Americans are going to the polls in November, a mass media campaign will be ramping up that depicts cities as both dangerous and wracked with torment. "My City Screams!" It could be a slogan for The Dark Knight. Or any of a host of other movies, TV shows or books. But it's actually the tagline for The Spirit, the new comic-book movie by noir master Frank Miller. We love to imagine cities as hazardous, smelly alien worlds, even as real-life U.S. cities are becoming safer and safer. Why is genre entertainment's portrayal of cities trapped in an era of tenements? More »

Fast Food is Bad for Comics, Says Judge Dredd
Britain's 2000AD is known for cutting its scifi with satire, but occasionally even the Galaxy's Greatest Comic can go too far. Such was the case with four episodes of Judge Dredd in 1978, which set out to prove just how dangerous fast food could be, and ended up demonstrating that it's not a good idea to mess with copyrights of international corporations if you're looking to avoid lawyers writing nasty letters. Who knew that Ronald McDonald could be so disagreeable? More » -

Judge Dredd Is The Most Underrated Comic Book Movie
If we ever do a "Greatest Scifi Motorcycle Chases" post, this sequence from Judge Dredd will totally make the cut. The flying motorcycles zooming over Megacity One are pretty well realized, and the whole scene is more kinetic and non-stop than the Fifth Element cop chase. I'm not even going to comment on Judge Dredd teaching the whiny guy about cocking, and the fact that they fly through a giant "NUTS" sign. If you don't compare the Dredd movie to the Dredd comic, it actually turns out to be a pretty amazing scifi action film. Just ignore the Nordic subtitles — our copy is an elite import.

All the Best Futuristic Guns for Your Holster
Science fiction has three iconic images that definite the genre: aliens, rockets, and rayguns. Whether due to our obsession with phallic guns, or the idea that a laser pistol is just too cool to pass up, the scifi gun has endured since H.G. Wells introduced them as a "Heat-Ray" in 1898's War of the Worlds. As good old Han Solo would later say, "Hokey religions and ancient weapons are no match for a good blaster at your side, kid."

2000AD Comes to the Internet via 1993
Living up to its outdated title, British cult comic 2000AD is heading into 2008 by adopting technology equally un-new: The Adobe PDF. That's what you'll be getting if you sign up to the new downloadable version of the weekly anthology, which is like Japanese weekly comic anthology Shonen Jump except with storylines about Judge Dredd and the mutant Strontium Dog. 2000AD is also where comic book greats Grant Morrison and Alan Moore started back in the. The first PDF of the new book, the year-end Holiday Special, was designed to hook new readers with tons of "pilot episodes," but it could run into trouble. More »
