A Belgian American comic character- or an American Belgian comic character?

 

[Cornu Ammonis]

He’s not American, the USA doesn’t exist in the comic and Mega-City One overlaps with what was once Canada.

Anyway- I have misgivings about Taika whatsisname on Dredd. He might bring the dark humour and sureal weirdness that was lacking in Dredd....but he might fuck it up royally

I’m disappointed it’s not the same team as Dredd. I’m not sure the humour/tongue-in-cheek vibe of the comic would work very well on screen.

Oh right, then yes, fully agree. Film looked amazing but definitely a bad case of the Hollywoods not getting it.
