Its been almost 6 years since first time I read this graphic novel. After purchasing the Lawless book #1 I had to reread this book because its characters play important role in Lawless.

Art is great, shades, crisp shots of action.... It is just beautiful. Story by Dan Abnett is (as it is usually the case with this author) fantastic. Here we have people who have decided that oppresive regime of Mega City One has to be replaced with something better, something that will give everyone their liberty and equality. Taking all of that into account neither protagonists nor antagonists are dreamy or over the edge characters. They are firmly standing on the ground and they know what both sides might need to sacrifice in this conflict to achieve their goals. Truly great SF saga.

Highly recommended to all interested in the great SF action story. ( )

Abnett demonstrates the succinct and pacy storytelling that British comics are renowned for. US comics writers could learn a few tricks here. The story itself, while well told and action-packed, doesn't seem to sit well within the Judge Dredd universe. Is this set in Dredd's future? ( )
