What happens when Dredd goes noir? Read on to find out.

“French for Black’ An experimental retro-virus is released on a sector of MC-1, devolving the area a full century and a half! When Judge Dredd steps in to investigate, he’s caught up in the wave, too, which means goodbye helmet and Lawgiver — and hello Fedora and gat. This is Dredd like you’ve never seen him before. This is Dredd… noir-style!”

Well, well, well, it seems we have another issue of Judge Dredd and let me tell you, it download (2)is a nice change of pace. So in this issue, we have a virus that changes the area to a different era, which is an awesome way to change the pace of a comic. It is an interesting concept that is fun and unique. Not only is it cool, but Judge Dredd actually changes his costume for a bit. It is a fun, fresh, and cool thing to happen to the man of the law. I will say that you have to read this. In the tradition of Spiderman and X-men noir, you will love the ideas and style of this issue of the comic.

Duane Swierczynski does an awesome job of changing the whole world of Judge Dredd with this issue of the comic. It is not an easy feat, especially when you have already established a world and then have to change the style and ideas behind it. He does this so effortlessly that it works to a point that you will think that you’re reading Dick Tracy.

John Stanisci does a wonderful job with the change of the scenery. He takes the story and brings it to life in the noir way. He knows what to highlight in each panel and what not to. It works so well. He even goes to transition from world to the next.

Overall, this issue is well worth the pickup. I give it a five out of five.
