Appraise About Books Judge Dredd: America

'Justice has a price. The price is freedom.' As far as I know, this story is among the few that present the Judges in a bad light. There is less focus on shooting and punishing than on describing the oppressive regime enforced by the Judges. A strong democratic response develops, but the Judges have the power and jurisdiction to stifle it. Democracy is also criticized harshly, but ultimately there are some aspects of it that are desirable, like the way law is applied.The USA's Judges have

I dont feel like I can properly review this comic. It looks gorgeous and the writing is great. But it inadvertently deals with trans issues, via a character implanting his brain into a womans body, and Im not qualified to speak on that.

I was a massive fan of 2000 AD, the comic that Judge Dredd first appeared in, as a kid. Every Friday Id pick up my reserved copy from the newsagents and devour the often violent, always inventive tales within it. Unlike US comics, which tend to focus on one character or team, British titles like 2000 AD feature a number of different stories, told episodically each week. Of all the characters that appear in 2000 AD, Dredd is the only constant, turning up each week to dispense ruthless justice in

This is simply a fantastic book. All three stories are beautifully illustrated and the tale they tell is brilliant. It's emotional and thought-provoking, as well as being an intelligent commentary on the world, both real, and Mega.

Kinda boring storyline. Pussy male lead who first rapes his comatose crush, then inhabits her body and raises 'their' child. On the nose and not macro enough.

This book is trying to be deep, but it's really stupid.

Wagner and McNeill's 'America', an instant classic when published, still holds up today as one of the key Dredd tales, exploring issues of power and control and civil disobedience as a manifesto - something Wagner rarely does. It goes to the heart of the Judges concept, it's jammed with iconic imagery and it's effective with a series of emotional gut punches too. The sequel, 'Dying of the Light' invokes the same world and evokes a lot of the same language, and is beautifully painted, but didn't
