Judge Dredd Gets Cursed with Lycanthropy in March

I’ll admit, I always preferred the British Judge Dredd comics to the American ones because I felt that they were never quite able to replicate that quintessential British humor, but I’ll still be picking up IDW’s Judge Dredd: Deviations, which hits stores in March.
Taking an approach similar to Marvel’s What If comics, Deviations comes from writer and artist John McCrea and will examine what would have happened had Dredd’s lycanthropy from the Cry of the Werewolf series never been cured. So yeah, he may be the law, by he also turns into a bloodthirsty beast whenever there’s a full moon. I guess that would give criminals an incentive to stay at home on such a night. I mean, getting arrested or hit with a baton is one thing, but being eaten by something with razor-sharp fangs is something else.
You can learn more about Deviations on IDW’s official website. The original Cry of the Werewolf series, which both Judge Dredd creator John Wagner and recently departed artist Steve Dillon both worked on, can be purchased here.
