It’s great to see the Mega-city continuity thrive and Mayor Jim Grubb gets a superb send-off. Med Judge Kildare is a wicked flash of brilliance. The motif throughout is state before individual with the chief judge lying to the citizens for their collective good. Didn’t they win against the East Meg comrade?
Ezquerra’s art is faultless for the bombed out city, destitute tramps, and strange fungus. Unfortunately the colour reproduction is printed very heavily and turns the opening pages into a grey mess.
