JUDGING DREDD is one of those essay books where a bunch of people get together to talk about the hidden meaning of Batman, Breaking Bad, or so on. Quite often, the books become utter nonsense but Judging Dredd has the benefit of not only dealing with a somewhat more obscure character (at least outside of the UK) but also is done by people who mostly want to talk about Judge Dredd versus his philosophy.
Sure, they discuss elements of police brutality and fascism but also discuss the decision to let Judge Hershey age in real time. It's definitely worthwhile for someone who is a die-hard Judge Dredd fanatic and wants to hear opinions on multiple characters as well as Judge Dredd's development over the decades. None of the insights are particularly deep, like "Judge Dredd the movie with Stallone was a lot worse than Dredd the movie with Urban" but it was fun from beginning to end.
It's also available on Kindle Unlimited.
