A nice action-packed romp
1 Jun 2005
Format:Paperback
Since I was picking up the "Judge Dredd" offerings from DC Comics' 2000 AD line, I figured I'd pick up some of the other books while I was at it.
"Strontium Dog" is a series created by Dredd-creators John Wagner and Carlos Ezquerra. Much like the Dredd-verse, "Strontium Dog" is set in a distant post-apocalyptic future. After a nuclear war, strontium-90 pollutes the landscape, causing genetic mutations. These mutants are outcasts (shades of "X-men"), with very few rights. Their only option to get ahead is bounty hunting, becoming Strontium Dogs.
The protagonist of this series is Johnny Alpha, whose mutation allows him to see through anything, including into people's minds. His partner is Wulf, a normal person with great strength and a stereotypical Scandanavian accent. Also in tow is a creature known as the Gronk, an alien with great healing abilities, very little physical courage, and a penchant for speaking like Jar Jar Binks.
While Johnny Alpha's world is not quite the biting satire that Judge Dredd is, it is an action-packed one. First, Johnny and his group are taken captive by a savage warrior race. Then, while on the trail of a rogue strontium dog, Johnny and his gang must fight their way through a hell-like dimension. Finally, Johnny travels back in time to capture that arch-fiend, Adolph Hitler.
This volume is a nice action-packed romp. If you like Judge Dredd, you'll like this.
