Superfiend focuses on classic Dredd villain Judge Death, the undead being from a reality in which he judged life a crime and eradicated the populace.

The animation will be released in a miniseries that launches online on October 27.

It will consist of six episodes: 'Judge Sydney', 'The Angel Gang', 'Judge Death', 'Rico & Vienna', 'In Death We Trust' and 'Dredd vs Death'.

There has been vocal fan demand for a sequel to 2012's Dredd, which flopped in US cinemas but has been a surprise home release hit.


Superfiend is part of Shankar's 'Bootleg Universe', which also includes the Venom short Truth in Journalism and Punisher short Dirty Laundry.

Judge Death was created by John Wagner and Brian Bolland in 1980.
