I'm sure this has been covered when the books were initially released, but what do people think of the short novellas that
Abaddon Books released over the past few years?
Over at
Pop Culture Bandit, we've reviewed the
Judge Dredd: Year One series, and have begun looking at the
Judge Anderson: Rookie stories. Written by current 2000AD droids, these stories are simply spectacular and an inspired concept for a prose novel series. We'll post the latest reviews on this thread to keep you updated!

I went in not expecting much but found I enjoyed them immensely. I have not read the Anderson one but I did get the Dredd Year One omnibus, the Dredd year 2 book also and the Rico book was also great.
I am definately 'in' to these and will buy them as they come out, but I wonder if we will see many more. There is so much Dredd material out there that I can understand why many readers may stick to the main comic line and skip over these.
Here's our review of Judge Anderson: Rookie - "The Abyss", which reads like Die Hard in a mental asylum. Great fun, and action-packed!

One more and maybe there'll be a paper copy!
