Book log 2019 #6 - JUDGE DREDD:AMERICA
Apr. 21st, 2019 08:16 pmJUDGE DREDD: AMERICA by John Wagner and Colin MacNeil
(and Garth Ennis on a couple of extra stories at the back) – a hardback collection of the first Megazine story, of the totalitarian rule of the Judges versus what passes for Democracy told from the POV of a tragic character who grew up in MC-1, and its sequel stories where the duaghter of the original character becomes a Judge. It’s a really good story, with great art throughout – MacNeil slightly varying his style perhaps to fit in with prior and later stories by other artists – and memorable characters who mostly are multi-dimensional. Even Dredd himself is shown a little more three-dimensionally than was often the case beforehand.
The two final short stories by Garth Ennis aren’t too bad, but seem like filler, unrelated to the main volume. Still, a really good hardback collection.
