Boring

Boring. Using the mutants as a metaphor for racism and and immigration criticism is heavy handed and uncreative. There's even parts with holocaust outfits and Klan robes. Wow. Eventually, I skipped the mutant story lines altogether. Which left scant storyline s to read. Judge Dredd only really works, as a character, in certain kinds of stories. Among them: crime and war. I can't recommend this book. You get plenty of pages for the money, but this story is boring and I rolled my eyes at the heavy handed, uncreative political commentary.
