When for the second time Titan penitentiary for disgraced Judges becomes silent, MegaOne Judge council sends the reconnaissance troop to see what is going on. Two persons join the Justice Marines squadron - Judge Dredd, as one of the most trusted law enforcers, and former head of the Titan penitentiary. What starts as the recon mission will end up in bloodshed that can very well doom the MegaOne itself.
This is one of the hardest experience for Dredd. After the failed investigation on Titan he will find himself constantly brutally tortured by the person from his past - constantly beaten and heavily wounded from day to day we can see how Dredd is slowly falling to the dark side so to speak. I know, this is Dredd after all, what dark side - right? Well Dredd is merciless but one always knows where he stands with him because Dredd stands for justice. But now, it seems that some cracks are starting to show up and Dreedd is no longer cool-under-fire. What follows is one wrong decision after another from MegaOne's end (pivotal one instigated by Dredd) and soon conflagration comes to Earth.
I wont go into details to avoid spoilers but this one is pretty strong book and not just story wise. Art is great, and what is most important it is consistent through all episodes in this volume. From the insertion to Titan and breaking up through enigmatic remains in high orbit (have to admit, breaking through this "debris" was truly "maaaan" moment), descending into depths of Enceladus to what one might call last charge of light cavalry :) you will get sucked into the story itself and pages will just start to fly.
Excellent collection, highly recommended not only to Judge Dredd fans but also to fans of action SF in general.

An outstanding 2000 AD blockbuster event, cleverly building on what came before it while working as a self contained book. Rob Williams and Henry Flint are one of comic's superteams.
