Duane Swierczynski put Greg Hettinger, the star of his series from Archie’s Dark Circle imprint, through the ringer in the first arc of The Black Hood. Throughout “The Bullet’s Kiss” arc, Swierczynski’s background as a crime novelist shined through the pages, as each chapter of the five-part series read like an addictive crime novel. It was impossible […]
It’s been awhile between drinks for a Duane Swierczynski novel but as always it has been worth the wait. Straight away its like jumping on a runaway train with that instant pleasure of having no idea where Duane Swierczynski is going to take you this time.

An SDCC announcement which mainly seems to have been announced on CBR and not as SDCC, IDW have revealed that their much-teased new Judge Dredd series will be written by Duane Swierczynski! Which, perfect casting surely. Art will be provided by Nelson Daniel, and the first issue is out in November.
What will the series be like? Given Swierczynski’s past novels, and his run on Cable, it’ll be rather gritty. In the CBR interview posted now before anybody had a chance to mention it at the con, he says
I’d like IDW’s Dredd to feel like a transgressive sci-fi black comedy police procedural — like ‘Law & Order,’ if, say, Jerry Orbach were a violent inflexible fascist
Swierczynski and Daniel’s series will be set in the past, looking back at some of the Judge’s earliest perp-shooting jollies, with back-ups for each issue drawn by people like Jim Starlin. It will be violent! And angry. And the helmet doesn’t look like it’s coming off anytime soon. No sign of Rob Schneider yet.
One of the BEST books currently out there! If you haven’t given this title a chance, pick up the first trade and start with this issue to keep the action going! Excellently written, with awesome art! (Issue 6 was kinda a one-off so the creative team could catch their breath.)
