![]() ![]() ![]() I was particularly amused by "Snowstorm" in which the drug of choice is sugar (Icing caster, cane etc.) and bad stuff gets onto the street cut with sweetex. The characters are well realised, interesting and fallible and I love the fact that this mainly looks at the system from the POV of ordinary people rather than Dredd or the judges.Īrtwork is punchy and suits the stories perfectly. It makes the reader question the validity of a system of totalitarian law at the same time as seeing its necessity in a Nietzschean dystopia where god is dead and everything is permitted - and no its no co-incidence Beeny and America's apartment block is the Fred Nietzche building. It's adult, thought provoking, bitingly satirical and exceptionally clever. America completely blew my mind and those initial reactions out the window. Before this, I was only familiar with the Judge Dredd of my childhood which was fun don't get me wrong, but kind of daft, extreme childish comedy. ![]()
