While many may remember Judge Dredd from either the 90s Stallone film or the eye-popping 3D remake from back in 2012, the character has a long history of being part of the 2000AD comic universe - today handled by Sniper Elite publishers Rebellion.
Other than that, he's a character that's considered niche with the current saturated market of DC and Marvel competition. Putting our a call to license their characters to other groups earlier this year, Rebellion are hoping to bring their wares under the spotlight.
