Mega-City One is acclimatising to the new mutant laws, but integration isn’t easy and one man stands as the thin blue line between the norms and the muties – that man is Judge Dredd.
The best-selling series collecting The Law in order continues as the ultimate lawman of the future brings his unique brand of policing to the streets and creeps of the dystopian nightmare he calls home.
Written by John Wagner (A History of Violence), Al Ewing (The Immortal Hulk), Pat Mills (Marshal Law), Gordon Rennie (Missionary Man) and Ian Edginton (X-Force) with art by Simon Fraser ( The Red Diamond), Vince Locke (The Sandman), Henry Flint (Zombo), Paul Marshall (Firekind), Ben Oliver (Ultimate X-Men), Carl Critchlow (Batman/Judge Dredd), Nick Dyer (Judge Dredd), PJ Holden (Terminator/RoboCop), Dave Taylor (Zorro), Colin Wilson (Point Blank) and Mike Collins (Captain Britain).
This collection focuses In the middle of the period of time when mutants are allowed to enter the Meg. It’s a mixed bag of standard Dredd fare. Not the worst. Not the best. But there is a fine gem of a dredd single story in Koan (written by Al Ewing). Short, but powerful. Really well realised with a nice balance of dredd side judge characters to give it a bit more breadth. Anyway. I enjoyed that one at least.

This is ok, not great or what, but still enjoyable. Some supernatural stories in the vein of old-school progs, some sci-fi pastiches with a twist, and of course the usual crime related ones. The subplot about the new mutant law is further developed with major consequences, that will influence the next volume.
