Two undercover Judges go off the rails.
This story not only broadens the depth and detail of the Justice Department but it also allows Wagner a different perspective to write from. What we have here is a gangster story in which Dredd is supporting actor rather than the lead and it works just fine.
The art is strong stuff with plenty of cinematic close-ups and bizarre Mega-city fashions. There are some stereotypical accents for the foreign criminals but nothing that you haven’t seen before.
