"It's fascinating how despite Dredd's blunt decision to just walk away from the Judge Child mission, its legacy remains a part of his world for decades."

"I can't imagine there was huge fan demand for all the vaguely-ape related stories to be easily accessible in one book."

The blog takes a slight detour to look at the recent collection "Nobody Apes the Law".

"Reading this Volume was my first ever exposure to Nemesis, and it was a thrilling, dense, high-speed, macabre and dizzying read."

Thanks Fungus!

I went back and forth on The Judge Child a fair bit - I even note in the review that I'm being negative and piling on! I think it's a big challenge with reviewing works like these, where you can see the story get so close to being amazing, but just not quite get there. Is it fair to judge Wagner and Grant by a higher standard? I don't know, but I definitely did here.

As with all reviews, it's all so personal. I'm sure many people like the sudden about-turn at the end, but to me it just undermined the whole story. But I can totally imagine I'll come back to this review in a couple of years and go "what was I thinking??"

Thanks broodblik, I really appreciate it!

Thanks Alex - I really appreciate the feedback! I try to find a balance between positive and negative, but as with everything it's all so individual what works and what doesn't.

Hope you keep enjoying the posts!

"2000AD space nonsense at its best." Strontium Dog: Volume 1 is up on the blog.

Thanks Greg - it's a really tough one to review! A huge amount of the individual elements are some of the best Dredd ever, so it feels weird and strange to write a somewhat downbeat review of the whole thing.

"Dredd having to go underground to fight his own people. The City under the rule of a tyrant Judge – who's also absolutely insane. Deputy Chief Judge Fish!!"
