Nothing remarkable plot-wise, but a lovely performance by Louise Jameson.

[Dan Organ · Rating 5 out of 5]

Classic Judge Dredd and Judge Anderson. Audio version of comic looking at a dystopian future.

I only discovered that Big Finish released 2000AD audios a couple days ago. I've read quite a few of the Judge Anderson comics. I liked the character and the setting, but found the very serialised storytelling to be a bit frustrating reading. As such I'm still only a third of the way through her massive collection of stories. But I really enjoyed this. At first it was a bit strange hearing a sort of American accent from Louise. 2000AD is the most British of British comics and it never occured to me that the characters would be from America. But Louise's accent was sort of half way between, with so much odd jargon that it quickly grew on me and seemed to be some futuristic mishmash that fit the setting. The story was about a child with odd powers. I don't want to say too much to give it away, but it really showed of Anderson's strengths, as well as her flaws, very well. I really enjoyed this and plan on listening to it again very soon.
