5.0 out of 5 stars
Essential and comprehensive Dredd.,
By
This review is from: Judge Dredd: Complete Case Files v. 1 (Paperback)
Volume 1 includes the initial introductory Dredd stories, the Call-Me-Kenneth robot revolution, Return of Rico, the Luna period and ends with Dredd returning to MC1 in time for the Cursed Earth saga. Also included are the first, unpublished, Dredd by Esquerra and a selection of Walter the Wobot one-pagers.Volume 2 includes the excellent Cursed Earth and Judge Caligula epics back to back and ends with three parter the DNA man Volume 3 returns to shorter storyline formats and includes Judge Death, Father Earth, Umpty Candy and the blood of Satanus. These all all good stories although this volume is one of the thinnner ones and it must be said the reproduction really isn't good in parts. The backgrounds of some frames are lost completely and some of the best art in Dredd ends up looking pretty pedestrian. Sticklers may be better trying to seek out the superior image quality of the Titan publications. Volume 4 includes the excellent Judge Child saga, Otto Sump, The Fink, Pirates if the Black atlantic and Chopper's first appearance. Volume 5 Includes Block Mania and the epic Apocalypse War Volume 6 follows on from the conclusion of the Apocalypse war with Meka city, Fungus and Destiny's Angels and then it's back to reasonably good shorter storylines with Rabid, Blobs, Night of the rad beast, the slightly naff Starborn thing, The Stupid Gun, Trapper Hag, the good Shanty town and a real forgotten gem The Executioner. Volume 8 Includes some multi parters but no epics - Cry of the werewolf, the classic fatty eating saga Requiem for a heavyweight, The graveyard shift, Bob & Carol & Ted & Ringo, the Haunting of sector house 9, Citizen Snork and numerous okay single episode stories. This volumes marks a changing of the guard in terms of artists with the introduction of Cam Kennedy and Jim Baikie. The print reproduction is generally good - but some pages suffer bady and some really great art is made to look very ordinary, particularly when toner is used - this is understandably unavoidable on the colour spreads but surely not on the b/w pages. Despite this minor gripe you won't find a more affordable and comprehensive Dredd collection and kudos to Rebillion for getting these in print. Essential.

Consistently fun with brilliant artwork.,
By Superbeasto (UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Judge Dredd: The Complete Case Files Vol.10 (Judge Dredd): Complete Case Files v. 10 (Paperback)
No mega-epics, Dark Judges or majorly continuity-important stories in here, but a very consistent collection of action-packed one offs and shorter stories. Grant and Wagner had really hit their stride by this point and although there's no Ezquerra the quality of the art in general is more consistent in this collection than ever with the old guard as brilliant as ever but nothing letting the side down (Brendan McCarthy really steps up his game brilliantly and Kevin O'Neill's twisted take on Dredd appears for I think the first time). Also, we get introduced to Kenny Who, Stan Lee(briefly) and The Taxidermist. Brilliant.

This review is from: Judge Dredd: Complete Case Files 12: Complete Case Files v. 12 (Rebellion 2000ad) (Paperback)
Events in Oz have left Dredd questioning his own judgement - but he will needs his wits about him, as a deadly hitman has Mega-City One's greatest lawman in his sights...Meanwhile, in 'Full Mental Jacket' a Mega City family is torn apart when a juve is immersed deeper & deeper in gang culture. Judge Barry Kurten is driven to dish out excessive punishments by a little blue man who lives in his head. A Mega City sleeper android has gone on the rampage in Nip Cit (can you tell it was written in less PC times?) but can Dredd get to it before his Japanese equivalent, Sadu? And on home turf, Dredd discovers the Chief Judge is grooming his replacement - one with a questionable past. And a certain teenager by the name of PJ Maybe is literally getting away with murder... Wagner & Grant usually wrote together under the pseudonym 'TB Grover' but interestingly, most of the short stories in this collection are written by one or the other. It's an interesting contrast, as Grant's tales tend to be be more light-hearted & whimsical but I prefer Wagner's more thought-provoking themes & dark humour. Dredd was Wagner's baby, after all. Be that as it may, it gives this collection a lot of variety, covering action, tragedy, drama, social commentary & outright comedy. Not many of these stories are really classics & there are no epic storylines here but it's always nice to see PJ Maybe & seeds are sown which ripen into Necropolis in volume 14. As such, it's still an essential part of any Dredd collection.
