Son of Mxy's review: http://worldcomicbookreview.com/index.ph...eview/#more-700

You should follow the link. Plus you should comment upon his lovely writing.

I ended up buying this. I've always been a bit leery of Dredd's two dimensional characterisation, but that is part of the fun of it. It has that English sense of absurdity which you otherwise see in Monty Python, but with a facist/punk angle.

The story kind of works.

I only started reading Dredd stuff a month ago. Familiar with the character, but only in passing. It's why I didn't have any problems with the Stallone film. It's generic much like any 90s action film (to the point where my recollection of it is mixed with my recollection of Demolition man), but I was unaware that it broke so many lore taboos.

Lothar, is that you I added on the Booksface thing a while ago?

I remember Dave saying that you lost all the vowels from your surname.

It's me. You better not turn out to be a terrorist or some kind of radical I am now associating with on FB. Our government watches who we socialize with around the world.
