[SullyIsReading · Rating 4 out of 5]

(THIS REVIEW IS ORIGINALLY FROM STORYGRAPH, FROM 6TH JULY 2023.)

A mix of deeper, interesting stories about surveillance states, authoritarianism, the nature of law, and citizen's rights, as well as some fluffy, funny stories that were nice to break up the serious and darker stories. My personal favourite was Holiday Special.

Art style is absolutely the best part of reading this; every setting and character feels well detailed; everything has a presence. The design of Dredd's gun in particular always stands out positively.

The Judge Edgar stuff is Dredd at its best, but sadly it’s surrounded by fluff and filler rather than finishing out the storyline

[Alex Whitington · Rating 3 out of 5]

My first Dredd book. I throughly enjoyed it but the details on Dredd's shoulder-thingies upset me. That poor artist!
