RESULTS - The Dredd (I am the Law) Mega Top 15 Tournament

[Link Prime]

I liked the Dark Judges bit, because it upped the ante -- they were already in a huge crisis, and now this too?!

I agree - it was one of the few remaining valid uses of the DJs. I also think they benefited from Death's absence - it was interesting to have the spotlight on the other three without their leader.

The introduction of the Dark Judges to the story-line certainly raised the already astronomical stakes, but personally I think their presence was under utilized in this particular instance.

Mandroid seems under-appreciated.

I, on the other hand, can't see why people rave about it so much. It's good, but it felt a bit generic scifi, and not very Dreddish if that makes sense. That said, I haven't read it since it was published.

Mandroid was one off my favorites but in many senses it is not a true Dredd story same as America.

Yeah - it's a bit... dull, to be honest. It ran during my prog-gap, so I got the TPB after seeing it praised so frequently. Again, well-written, but not a favourite.

I think Mandroid was a perfect story. Not every Dredd has to be about the end of the world, this one was a slow-burn police procedural about the murder of a child by gangsters, and his father's revenge. It's a joy to read.
