Return of the King - not for me. 'The ;aw is never wrong, Hershey.' Had Garth simply skimmed over the last few years, which was largely themed around Dredd's doubts about the system?
I read it as another ruse by the ever canny Dredd to gain Zombie-Silver’s confidence, make him confess to having broken his vows as Chief Judge by hiding and not protecting the city, so that he can then be judged unfit to hold office - which Silver is demanding he still has the right to as he never officially resigned.
Return of the King is a highlight of Ennis Dredds for me, and spot-on characterwise, and of course it’s Necropolis era Ezquerra.
