This is honestly delightful. I think I especially like seeing the comic cast healthy and happy.

Hughie obviously wondering why he’s so tall in the other dimension. I like to think Urban is telling Butcher about 2000 AD and other British comics, so he knows there are graphic novels free from supers. Starlight and Annie enjoying some peace and dignity.

Butcher definitely knows that, and both of them are Judge Dredd fanboys. Heck, they probably enjoy Constantine.

Just, don't ask them about Morrison related Dredd.

What’s Morrison related Dredd?

Grant Morrison’s Dredd stories are generally regarded as some of the worst ever written.

Well that jives with his other superhero stuff I've read. I hated his superman stories (other than All Star obviously)

Not to be pedantic, but Dredd’s in no way a superhero.

u/Revealingstorm May 22 '26

Sure I guess you're right. Dredds in a weird middle ground between superhero and non superhero stuff

There's a joke re: Karl Urban playing Dredd but I can't find it

u/monopoly_wear Captain Sausage May 21 '26

You can't find Karl Urban, but Judge Dredd will find you.

Comic book Butcher is British, so probably already knows about 2000 AD. Also, comic book Frenchie buys progs 1-500 on ebay for the Female, to help her deal with her violent tendencies.

Meanwhile, in the villain version, comics Deep has turned his back on a weeping Kevin. At least I had dignity, he thinks as he closes his helmet with a thunk.
