Stories in Dredd's more recent collections are trending towards more complex storylines and a more flushed out Judge Dredd Tour of Duty: The backlash in Mega-City One. The supporting cast continues to grow and improve. Dredd is evolving as a character and his perspective is changing regarding the "Law" and the Judges place in his society as he gets older. This is the natural way as most of us change our opinions as we age. Really helps to make Dredd more believable and h Follow up to "Origins" Judge Dredd Tour of Duty: The backlash was as good as I had heard. Really helps to make Dredd more believable and human to me. Still appreciate Dredd's by the numbers, no nonsense early days, but as I get older these changes make Joe easier to relate to. The plight of the mutants in this story is Judge Dredd Tour of Duty: The backlash symbolic of some of our society's current ongoing political issues and gives this tale a contemporary quality. Wagner just keeps getting better and the art is consistently good throughout. Starting the next volume tonight. Mar 17, Bodicainking rated it it was amazing. The first part of the two book "Tour of Duty" storyline is a masterful work. It requires a reasonable knowledge of Judge Dredd history but weaves it all together so beautifully that the prep-reading required is more than worth it. Judge Dredd Tour of Duty: The backlash spoiling, some magic moments stand out: Serial killer PJ Maybe on the hunt for his own copy-cat; stories leaping from one-note jokes about bad amdrams to severely grim holocaust-evoking horror; the brief return of Judges Edgar and Roffman of the Gestapo-like PSU The first part of the two book "Tour of Duty" storyline is a masterful work. Without spoiling, some magic moments stand out: Serial killer PJ Maybe on the hunt for his own copy-cat; stories leaping from one-note jokes about bad amdrams to severely grim holocaust-evoking horror; the brief return of Judges Edgar and Roffman of the Gestapo-like PSU; Judge Dredd using his respected position to push through a massive change to the law and dealing in his stoic, procedural way, with all the negative consequences. It's such a beautifully woven series of stories that it is difficult to go into more detail without ruining some of the brilliance. Finally, I wanted to point out Judge Pirie, an aged Judge who does public relations work, with one half of his face missing; when he sees the chance to get in on a hot case he goes straight forward and leaps from a hovering vehicle on to another crying "Stop in the name of the law! Nov 08, Juho Pohjalainen rated it it was amazing. It's hard to tell, but Dredd has come a long way in the forty years Judge Dredd Tour of Duty: The backlash had him around. He's still an authoritarian, fascist hard-ass, but he's grown as a character and learned that maybe some things aren't as bad as he once thought. In the Democracy arc he first grew to doubt the Judge system and Judge Dredd Tour of Duty: The backlash if it were the answer at all, here in Tour of Duty he's trying to make Judge Dredd Tour of Duty: The backlash better for the mutants, and in the current at the time of writing arc he's even coming around with robots! Of those t It's hard to tell, but Dredd has come a long way in the forty years we've had him around. Of those three character-growing arcs, I think I like Tour of Duty the best. The Democracy arc got Necropolis in the middle, just another doomsday scenario in a city that already has too many of them. And the Machine Law story for its part feels a little soft and not quite as exciting. But this here is some of the best Dredd. One of the best arcs ever. This it is what makes Dredd great. He's not one dimensional. He's grown as the strip has. In this Dredd is troubled by the big megs anti mutant laws. Jump on here for one of the best Dredd stories ever. Feb 05, Lord Humungus rated it really liked it. Great artwork all around; only one story suffered from substandard art. And some really great writing on Wagner's part for all the Mutie laws stuff. The writing and topics are much more mature than I've read in Dredd material in a long time. Top notch. Boring Boring. Using the mutants as a metaphor for racism and and immigration criticism is heavy handed and uncreative. There's even parts with holocaust outfits and Klan robes. Eventually, I skipped the mutant story lines altogether. Which Judge Dredd Tour of Duty: The backlash scant storyline s to read. Judge Dredd only really works, as a character, in certain kinds of stories. Among them: crime and war. I can't recommend this book. You get plenty of pages for the money, but this story is boring and I rolled my eyes at the Boring Boring. You get plenty of pages for the money, but this story is boring and I rolled my eyes at the heavy handed, uncreative political commentary. Mar 11, T. Great sci fi action. This is great sci find action wrapped around a tense political all thriller, full of twists and intrigue. Great artwork, that really pops on a backlit screen. Jun 26, PJ Ebbrell rated it really liked it. Excellent value from one of the UK comic icons. Dredd endures because of his adpatabiity and relevance to society today. Jan 12, Timo rated it it was amazing Shelves: comics. Good grief this was a really good one as it goes with Judge Dredds. Great art, great story with long lasting tremors in the Dredd universe.
