Insurrection[21] is a series by Dan Abnett published in Judge Dredd Megazine starting in January 2009.[22] Abnett explains that "the actual brief was to bring to the Dredd Universe something of the epic war-in-space scale of the stuff I write for Warhammer 40K. Tharg (Matt to his friends) wanted a stonking big space war story that would suit the universe of the Mega-Cities".[23]
