I loved Dredd. You can read my review here: http://io9.com/5945167/the-one-crucial-test-that-any-judge-dredd-movie-must-pass One of my favorite movies, and I nearly put it in the top 10 best movies of the year.

I think they're still airing Last Resort. Fingers crossed! Read more

Yup. This isn't a list of people we love. Read more

Thanks! Fixing typo now. Read more

YES. This is a great suggestion. Thanks! Read more

Yes! I have gushed about it before. http://io9.com/5435667/your-cure-for-supernatural-withdrawal-mike-careys-castor-novels Read more

Okay, let me tweak those. Thanks. PS: I checked, and Snyder did indeed write Detective Comics. Read more

Isn't that a webcomic? That's a separate roundup. Read more

Double agree. I still remember when I started reading Banks' Culture novels and it was like food had flavor again. Read more

Thanks for the heads up! Will have to check that out. Read more
