Judge Dredd #22 Review

By Eric Bridges on Tuesday, August 19th, 2014

Judge Dredd is doing his best to keep things together in the world but he can only do so much. It is ridiculous what happens. Read on to find out more.

“Black Light District, part 1”-The area formerly known as Sector One has been sealed off from the rest of Mega-City One-locking the Dark Judges in, but also keeping most of the Justice Department out! The only man who can cross the border is Judge Dredd, so it’s up to him to single-handedly rescue the Chief Justice and the Council of Five, who are trapped inside and fighting for their survival. Meanwhile, there’s a new Acting Chief Justice, and he’s got a whole lot of “reform” in mind…You’ve never seen Mega-City One like this before. Step inside before it’s too late…

The world has gone insane and very dark but Judge Dredd is doing

his best to keep it together. So when the Justice is locked out of a section because the Dark Judges are locked in, we have a compelling story that pushes the rules to the edge. It is a crazy story that I am not sure where it will go but I love it. However, I don’t think that the Dark Judges are just the only big threat because the new Chief Justice does something that is so crazy that you have to read it because it crazy. I am not sure what will happen next and that is scary.

The writing and art is great but it is very busy, almost too busy. There is so much going on that you might miss something unless you look really hard. It is a good and bad problem. I do have to say that you won’t be bored and that this is one of the best issues. The art works well with the darkness of it but, also, bringing lighting to the series.

Judge Dredd is crazy but fantastic.
