Judge Death Mega-Special In Rebellion's October 2025 Lunar Solicits

Judge Death Mega-Special by Alex de Campi, Lauren Beukes, Dale Halvorsen, Antony Johnston, Kek-W, Alex Worley, Leigh Gallagher, Lee Carter, and Mark Sexton in Rebellion's October 2025 Lunar Solicits



Article Summary

  • Judge Death Mega-Special marks 45 years of the iconic Dredd villain, with new stories and Brian Bolland cover
  • Rebellion's October 2025 lineup features major Judge Dredd & 2000AD releases and exclusive graphic novels
  • Alex de Campi pens both Judge Death stories and the Complete Full Tilt Boogie, expanding her 2000AD legacy
  • Other highlights include art retrospectives from Jock, Brian Bolland, Carlos Ezquerra, and top 2000AD sci-fi tales

There may be a split again between Diamond and Lunar Distributors again, this month, when it comes to Rebellion's October 2025 solicits and solicitations, as the Lunar listings don't include the periodicals such as 2000AD or Judge Dredd Megazine. Might Rebellion and Lunar not yet have found a way to distribute those titles printed in the UK effectively to the USA yet? Updates as we have them, here's what the Diamond listings were looking like last month for comparison. But we do get a Judge Death Mega-Special and a Complete Full Tilt Boogie, which means that even without her new strip listed in 2000AD, it's a big Rebellion month for writer and former Bleeding Cool columnist Alex De Campi.

The Art of Carlos Ezquerra
WRITTEN BY: VARIOUS
ILLUSTRATED BY: CARLOS EZQUERRA
COVER ART BY: CARLOS EZQUERRA
SEPTEMBER 10, 2022 | TEEN | PARTIAL COLOUR | SCIENCE-FICTION | HC | 240 PAGES | $34.99
An often unsung titan of the industry, Carlos Ezquerra's influence has been as broad as his artwork was inimitable. His co-creation of Judge Dredd and powerful work on Strontium Dog alone helped establish 2000 AD as a powerhouse and him as a comics master. When he passed away unexpectedly in 2018, comics was robbed of one of its most vibrant, dynamic and powerful talents, yet his legacy is almost unparalleled in the industry. Publishing as part of 2000 AD's 45th anniversary celebrations, this 240-page hardcover collection spans half a century of his comic work and is ideal for both long-time fans and those looking to discover his work for themselves, from his early art to his greatest creation, Judge Dredd.
