R.I.P. JUDGE DREDD? Following the decimation of Mega-City One during Chaos Day, Judges from other friendly Justice Departments have been brought in to strengthen the ranks and help maintain law and order on the streets. Amongst the newcomers is Fintan Joyce son of a former Emerald Isle Judge, who teamed up with Judge Dredd in one of the most fondly remembered Dredd stories. Exploiting the Big Meg s weakened state, several groups have risen up against the Judges, including the Goblin King s Undercity army and a mutant group lead by the monstrous Thorn, who have been attacking Cursed Earth outposts. If things couldn t get any worse, Dredd has fallen foul of Brit-Cit and they want him in prison or on a slab Have the odds finally stacked up enough to spell the end of Mega-City One s greatest lawman?

Mega-City One is recovering from the latest of many disasters. The Dredd tales are not like those of American superheroes in which usually the next story fails to reference what has gone before. Additionally, Dredd ages in real time so he accompanies Joyce Junior and many will remember Joyce's father in stories decades earlier. Will Dredd one day link up with an even younger generation of Irish judges? Many familiar characters appear such as Hershey, Rico, Armitage, Koburn and Beeny.

4.0 out of 5 stars At last, someone that can write Dredd other than Wagner!
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 7 April 2017

This is definitely the best of the post-Chaos Bug, post-Wagner collections. As has been alluded to in other reviews, Michael Carroll would seem to be the only writer to 'get Dredd' other than Wagner and Grant. When you consider those writers to have roundly 'not got Dredd' include Mark Millar, Grant Morrison and Garth Ennis, you realise that in Michael Carroll there is someone to take the stories onwards.

No longer reading 2000AD regularly, these editions are my lifeline to Dredd's latest adventures and Every Empire Falls is a nice catch up, post-Chaos Bug. Compared to the clever-yet-forgettable Trifecta and the oh-so-pretty-but-empty Dark Justice, this is solid Dredd in the vein of The Pit and Tour of Duty - with conspiracies within the judge system(s) and the introduction of an expanded cast of supporting characters (mostly judges too).

Some of the earlier stories conclude maybe too quickly and sharply, but the overall story arc burns away nicely before tying up the different plots.

Without spoiling anything, there is one plot point that you will never take seriously - however I wished they would have had the strength of their convictions and carried it through. But maybe a hint of things to come?

As a fan of Colin MacNeil the artwork is great - I can't remember any of the newer artists but they do an inoffensive job. Carlos Ezquerra does one story and the guy is still great 40 years down the line!

A great saga that shows Dredd and MC1 still coming to terms with the fact that they are no longer top dog, something even their allies a quick to remind them of after years of arrogantly throwing their weight around. The exhausted MC1 Justice Department has to face a slow-moving coup from within as it attempts to integrate foreign judges it has had to beg for in order bolster it's ranks, while attempting to face down an assertive Brit-Cit.

One star knocked off for the rushed, and frankly silly, conclusion especially regarding the fate of Judge Lewis which really makes no sense whatsoever.

Since the Day of Chaos cross over a few years back, things in Judge Dredd's universe have been turning darker. After multiple (multiple, multiple) apocalyptic events Mega City One teeters on the edge. Its population is a tenth of what it once was, its force of street judges nearly depleted and even basics like food are in short supply. Desperate MC1 turns to the other cities like Brit Cit, Murphyville (Ireland) and Texas City for help but soon finds itself without allies.

This is a hard one to review without spoilers, I'll do my best but be warned. I should also note that the writer spoils an important scene in the introduction so avoid it when you start reading.

This is another great Dredd story. Yes, it has some elements of a 'greatest hits' remix. There's fighting muties in the Cursed Earth, there's a trip to Brit Cit, there's (yet another) take over of the Hall of Justice, but y'know all of them are well done and it doesn't feel like a repeat. An interesting new villain is introduced, but it unlikely to be seen again.

And this book moves the overarching story of MC1's decline forward. A little. Apocalyptic events are foreshadowed, and there are dramatic events in the first half of the book, but I would note that in the end it feels like the status quo is restored. Which is not necessarily a bad thing but it does make things feel a bit like a tease.

4.0 out of 5 stars Just for the mood
Reviewed in the United States on 14 July 2017
Verified Purchase
As (seemingly) ever, this was worthwhile for its mood and setting, but the specifics of the plot were lacking. The writers tried to bring in parodies of Texas and Ireland to spice things up, but did a poor job, providing no depth in either case. None of the "howdy pardner" judges from Texas were interesting beyond saying "howdy," and their scenes of forced stupidity appeared to be an argument for gun control more than it did anything else. The token Irish were better, and not necessarily annoying so much as cliche.

Even so, it was quite a pleasant dystopian story. The illustrators and environment designers did well. The attempt at political intrigue was flat and unnecessary, but the standard Dredd conundrum continued delivering in new situations. Hopefully they don't embarrass themselves by trying to follow-up on Texas by bringing in cliche "samurai judges" from Japan, or something of that sort, and just return to gritty, mega-provincial criminal drama. The attempt at global politics is just a distraction.
