Judge Dredd: Year One #1 Review |
This is a new book that is supposed to early stories of our anti-hero, Judge Dredd. The book doesn't waste time explaining how he came to be a Judge, what a Judge is, or anything at all really. Instead, it assumes that the reader knows the universe and just wants to see some stories from a new angle. For me, it works rather well. What we get is a younger, less round around the edges, Dredd who hasn't quite become master of every aspect of his job. In comparison to the ongoing Judge Dredd book currently on the shelves, this book is actually very story heavy, which no doubt is why I enjoyed it as much as I did. Nothing too wacky (at least within the realm of Judge Dredd) is going on here. It's just a dialogue-heavy affair.
As always, 1st issues are always tricky affairs. Good, bad, or otherwise, they're poor indicators of how a series will go. Still, I'm looking forward to continuing this series. In particular, I'm interested to see where this specific plot goes, as it has been established VERY well for just one issue.
