Last week Sony released a new firmware update for the PSP that brought with it a digital comic reader. 

Keep an eye on playstationcomics.com for more details, and for updates including news of when Digital Comics will be made available.

Here are a few of the confirmed comics and publishers that will be involved from launch:

• Marvel (Astonishing X-Men, Captain America, Fantastic Four, see the video for all of them)
• 2000AD (Judge Dredd, Durham Red)
• Disney (Mickey Mouse, Scrooge McDuck, Donald Duck)
• IDW (Astro Boy, Transformers, Star Trek, Wormwood).

Maybe this is the “copyright reason” that stops Marvel comics being available on iTunes outside the USA?

OK, this isn't actually the search for who will play Judge Dredd in the new film.  These scans are taken from the Judge Dredd Annual 1984, made me chuckle so thought I'd share.  It was written for fun and even 10 years before Sly hit screens as Dredd he seemed a front runner for the role.
