Reviews

[Tim Field · Rating 3 out of 5]

A collection of bummer Judge Dredd stories that attempt to be philosophical and examine issues of justice and law but just result in a muddled mess.
Surely they could have found better Judge Dredd stories to reprint for this quality graphic novel.

I don't know why I own this. I can only imagine I got it after I had my two Brian Bolland volumes (and I always like him), and it was REAL cheap. Because seriously, this is not my kind of thing. The sense of fun and parody I remember from the other volumes is absent (in spite of being mostly the same writers), instead reveling in fascistic law fantasy and casual violence. The art is kind of bottom-of-barrel 2000AD standard, from a cast of never-quite-made-its. Just not that good, but as I say, it's not really my thing.

Good old-fashioned Dredd fun.
I just do not like the art of Ron Smith. I know he is one of the artist who pretty much brough Judge Dredd where he is now, but still, I do not like it. Hence, one star off.
