Although not before an act of genocide carried out by the combined forces of Law that takes out two billion souls. The two have got history after all, and the reunion, as Dredd heads to Hondo, isn’t exactly cordial… Dredd & Johnny, hardly best pals – art by Peter DohertyĪnd it only gets worse from there, with the inevitable stand-up slugfest only stopping when they get the chance to save the world. Another great King Carlos moment in a book full of them!Īnd of course, you also have the twin delights of seeing Dredd battle what seems like an unstoppable horde whilst watching and waiting as Johnny Alpha does his thing in Hondo City. And as good, great even, that Peter Doherty and Dean Ormston are here, things only really settle down properly once King Carlos gets involved in part four. Rather controversially at the time, it jumped between the Progs and the Megazine, hence the different artists involved. It was a storyline plotted by both Ennis and John Wagner, bringing together two of 2000 AD‘s all-time greatest characters. Oh yes, It’s the Day of Judgement for the world and three billion human beings are about to die… Art by Dean Ormston ‘Planet Earth is about to enter Hell…’ – just one of so many incredible lines from Judgement Day – art by Peter Doherty Wagner and Ennis came up with a seriously deranged threat worthy of Dredd of old and then ramped up things to give it all a scale the likes of which we’d not really seen since ‘The Apocalypse War ‘.Īs Sabbat brings back the dead across the world, Dredd gets just a taste of what’s to come as both the Cursed Earth and the Necropolis pits give up their dead, Johnny Alpha gets called onto the case, teleporting in across time to clean up Sabbat’s mess, if he can…. Sabbat the Necromancer in full flow – art by Carlos Ezquerra It was truly epic Dredd as only 2000 AD can deliver, with Dredd teaming up (albeit reluctantly of course) with Johnny Alpha, the greatest of the Strontium Dogs, to prevent the world from succumbing to the zombie hordes. ‘Judgement Day ‘, saw Sabbat the Necromagus resurrect every corpse in the whole world to serve as his zombie horde.
