One of my new favourite graphic novels/comic books, especially of those I've read lately. I took this book out from my local library to give me a feel for what Judge Dredd comics are like, in preparation for another graphic novel I have yet to read; Blind Justice.
I believe this story either inspired or is inspired by the 2012 film Dredd; although there are some major differences, the style of combat and situation that Dredd finds himself in is very similar. Everything was fast-paced without losing poignancy, and had a lot of satire about consumerism and police states that I found both funny and eerie to our own lives. I understand now why Judge Dredd is such an influential series, and I would consider myself a fan of it now.
