He's dead Dave. They're all dead! They're. All. Dead. Dave.

I meant just the H-Wagon teleport part ... Opportunistic thinking, but the odds of Joe being injured or evac'd were pretty good.

Aaah. It would be more plausible as an improvised response to events, rather than one of the Legendary Shark's byzantine false flag operations.

Not sure why they'd vapourise the H wagon though. A fake corpse on public display would lend their cover story greater credence than telling Prime Judge Cameron a big boy blew Dredd up then ran away.

Death of Dredd doesn't even rate a cover? Come on. Maybe we're addressing the fact that Joes retirement age. Prog 2000, a revamp for the series, perhaps. Replacing Dredd with Rico doesn't keep the continuity of the legend. Its gonna have to be cleverer than that.
