A good story that reinforces the harshness of Mega-city law and Dredd’s keen senses. It quickly turns into an espionage thriller and sees the return of the Sov Judges, who are still stereotypes. There are some wacky names such as Judge Waldo and the Sov Judge Molotov who only exists to make a joke about a cocktail. We do see the Black Atlantic for the first time.
