Taking the Law outside of the Big-Meg, Jan 19 2006
By Daniel Kelly - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Judge Dredd #3: Black Atlantic (Mass Market Paperback)
After enjoying Bad Moon Rising, I decided to pick up a few of these novels. This adventure is an exciting romp across the Black Atlantic, exploring new territory that has barely been touched upon in the 2000AD comics.
Dredd came across perfectly this time, in his gruff, no-nonsense manner. The story fit well with the lore of Judge Dredd and the characters were distinct and consistent.
This is mostly set outside of Mega-City One, but Dredd still manages the impossible in the name of the law, and he explores brand new areas of the bizarre future world.
A very enjoyable read that I honestly recommend to all Judge Dredd fans, and even those that are not fans, but enjoy a good adventure/investigation.

This review is from: Judge Dredd #3: Black Atlantic (Mass Market Paperback)
This novel is set outside of the Big Meg (Mega City 1 that is) and has a good story line which builds upon the aftermath of the Judge Child and Warchild aftermath. The novel portrays Dredd exactly as he should be....to the BLUNT point and no non sense, a true man of action. The major downside is that almost half of the novel is about a mutant sea captain that seems almost as if she is the major protagonist and Dredd plays a supporting role to her. I suppose the way the story was written would have made more sense if it had been told from her perspective as a run in with Dredd. Not the best of the Dredd novels but if you love Judge Dredd, it is worth checking out.

This review is from: Judge Dredd #2: Bad Moon Rising (Mass Market Paperback)
Weather Control is out. The Judges are stretched as some alien residents are in temporary housing while new quarters are being built.
Dredd is running on empty when he is assigned to the alien sector and Sector Chief Caine. This Caine has a similar temperament and personality to Admiral Caine, from Battlestar Galactica, if you are familiar with that character.
Not helping the situation are a couple of xenophobic Judges on Caine's team, and past history between one of them and another.
Dredd and Caine don't get along, and the situation deteriorates.
Judges die, plots are revealed and it seems Chief Judge Hershey had a plan all along.
