Judge Dredd: The Complete Case Files 30
DOOMSDAY FOR MEGA-CITY ONE
Mega-City One – a nightmarish enclosure
located along the Eastern Seaboard of North
America. Only the Judges – powerful law
enforcers supporting the despotic Justice
Department – can stop total anarchy running
rife on the crime-ridden streets. Toughest of
them all is Judge Dredd – he is the law and
these are his stories...
The remnants of East-Meg One want Judge
Dredd to pay for destroying their city. Who
better to hunt him down than Orlock, deadly
agent of East-Meg One! Meanwhile, crime lord
Nero Narcos puts his lethal plan to depose the
Judges into action. Even with help from Brit-Cit,
Judge Anderson and DeMarco, one thing is for
sure: Mega-City One isn’t coming out of this in
one piece!

Who would have thought a robot uprising could be so boring?

Ένα τομάκι αφιερωμένο σε story arc που έτρεξε παράλληλα και στους δύο τίτλους; Count me in!

I frequently read comments in reviews of the Case Files series that complain there were no epics, just short stories. Well, I prefer the one-offs and two-or-three-issues-long tales. Snack-sized. Varied. Fun. The epics usually go on and on, are pretty dull, and lack the jovial, spiky satire of the short stuff.
This volume contains the Doomsday epic, which is, as usual, too long and not that exciting, being a follow on from the (also dull) Apocalypse War plot combined with a tale of an organised crime boss taking over the city with armed robots.
There were a couple of chuckles, but not many. The Megazine stories here are the same events told from DeMarco's POV. Unusually, these were more entertaining than the regular progs, but not the best, although DeMarco's story (following on from the last couple of volumes) is still a change from the norm.
Not awful but but not the best.

This is the Nero Marcos Doomsday storyline. THough I have slight issue with how it was presented, we get the Dredd focussed story first, and then the DeMarco focussed story second. But there's a lot of things in the Dredd story that needed the bits from the DeMarco story to make sense of them. So splitting them up caused some confusion.
Clearly 2000ADs foray into Marvel style splitting stories across more than one title resulted in the same problem of garbled nonsensical storylines. So I'd have really liked to have seen some effort put into editing these two storylines into one solid narrative structure.

Nero Narkos-epic does is not so epic as previous ones in Dredd world. It just does not have the feeling of everything-will-end-feel in it. The whole thing with dodgy Lawgivers and incoming robots and on trial is just a bit meh.
But the bits with DeMarco work well. She is so cool.

A solid Dredd storyline dealing with the fallout from what happened with East Meg One as well as another robot uprising. Solid artwork and a great story from John Wagner, as always.

Some excellent Dredd stories totally undercut by having two parallel parts of the narrative positioned one after the other.
