But so much just came across as a retelling of a previous story that was much better to begin with.

I get by this point (2004) there was 25+ years of Dredd stories and continuity, so coming up with new stuff could not be easy. This is the first Case File where I just gave up on reading the ‘filler’ stories. I’d like to say it’s due to second-rate artists and writers but that’s not true as you have Cam Kennedy and Henry Flint in there, not to mention Pat-bloody-Mills writing ‘Blood of Satanus 2’ - which happens to be just-bloody-awful. Unfortunately the rest is highly forgettable.

Though PJ stories are always good entertainment, this one is elevated by Chris Weston’s illustration. ‘Six’ picks up on the latest adventures of long-term villain PJ Maybe. The highlight is John Ridgeway’s artwork which while always solid in my opinion has never looked better. ‘Damned Ranger’ has the feel of a western - a Cursed Earth ranger atoning for past mistakes whilst part of Dredd’s army. Gorgeous artwork, taut writing, it’s great stuff. Judge Dredd has been patrolling the mean streets of Mega-City for forty-five years and this. Proud to announce 6-inch articulated figures based on the world of Judge Dredd. ‘Terror’ is the first stand-out, pairing America creators Wagner and MacNeil again in what I presume is a prelude to the ‘Total War’ storyline. Hes the original boy wizard and you can get 40 off Summer Magic: The Complete Journal of Luke Kirby until 2 May. With the rest being average at best, and occasionally shockingly bad. You have three tales that are head and shoulders above the rest.
