Absolute Judge Dredd? — In Orbit Every Wednesday

Absolute Judge Dredd? — In Orbit Every Wednesday

Author: 2000 AD April 22, 2026 Duration: 39:27

Could there ever be an 'Absolute Judge Dredd' series? Molch-R and KLO-E are back with another 'What if?': the Absolute series takes DC's iconic heroes — Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman — and changes one aspect of each of their origins to produce darker stories, but could you apply that premise to Judge Dredd? And what would that even look like?


Hosted by 2000 AD Brand Manager Michael ‘Molch-R’ Molcher and comics critic and creator of The Gutter Review, Chloe ‘KLO-E’ Maveal, In Orbit Every Wednesday from the 2000 AD Thrill-Cast goes live every Wednesday with the latest news about 2000 AD and Rebellion’s new comics, exciting special guests, and chat about the sheer love of comics!
