I first developed an interest in the 2000 AD comics after watching the 'Dredd' movie. (The good one.) I finally got my hands on one, this one, to be precise, and I was not disappointed.

Loses points for the painfully obvious fake-out Dredd death, but otherwise a sign that Carroll has really matured from a bit of an embarrassment in his early work, into a worthy custodian of 2000AD's greatest icon now.
epic is an understatement :)
