A mixed bag of stories, with an opening group of Dredd, and a closing group set in the cursed Earth.
The first tackles a block that takes advantage of recent catastrophic events and Judge shortages to try and become independent via high explosive.
The next is a multiverse jumble that brings in villains that succeeded in killing Dredd in their own world to do the same. A chaotic greatest hits effort that manages to come together.
The next two aren’t great. ‘The Girlfriend’ is problematic as hell, with a rich family buying a realistic-looking robot girlfriend for their son to have his creepy way with. The problems only get worse from there. A very low point, followed by a story that is one extended, puerile fart joke.
The final five stories follow Judge Koburn, a Judge based in the cursed Earth. The posting is an implied punishment, and we meet more of these Judges and see their frontier version of judgment when dealing with crime gangs, muties, and a man so damaged by the cursed Earth that Judge Death ‘blessed’ him, and created a pilgrim aiming to cleanse the rad-lands of life.
An overall entertaining collection, albeit with a couple of low points.

Great stuff here!
Carlos E. Is the co creator of one of the most enduring characters to come our of British comics, judge Dredd. In these stories, Dredd faces all kinds of evil, but not all the stories are Dredd, some are about a cursed earth judge, and his adventures are dang good as well.

Not quite what I expected. Pulp, grimy and dark were all as I imagined. I didn't expect such interesting Sci-Fi and political overtones in each short story, which was a major appeal. Would read more.

Dredd segment is ok, but Cursed Earth Koburn is the real gem here.
