It’s a taut action thriller.Īll the remaining stories have direct links back to the Apocalypse War itself, one to the moment Dredd pushed the button resulting in the annihilation of East-Meg One. Cold Wars begins with the retribution, Judge Dredd himself leading a covert mission in Siberia.
They may have been judged criminals, hence their exile to a penal colony in space, but their massacre by Sov troops caused outrage among the judges when revealed. The opener follows up on Rob Williams’ Enceladus storyline (see Titan) in which five hundred Mega City One exiles, former judges, were executed by Sov Block troops. However, that only temporarily reduced belligerent incursions, and Cold Wars is a selection of resumed hostilities. Conflict with the Sov-Block judges culminated in The Apocalypse War, in which terrible revenge was taken on East-Meg in retribution for repeated acts of warfare. Judge Dredd and his world was created when the real world US/Soviet Union Cold War was escalating again, and these tensions where imported into the strip via the creation of a Russian equivalent of Mega City One, East-Meg One.
