When Psi Division's Anderson starts getting psychic flashes
of a wolf stalking Mega-City One, she can't quite identify
why they are so alarming - until an assassin almost kills
her. Soon she finds herself caught in a race against time
to stop an old, terrible threat to the city from resurfacing...
Hour
of the Wolf
reprints four Judge Anderson stories from the pages of 2000AD.
These are Hour of the Wolf, The Brainstem Man, Colin Wilson
Block and Helios.
The
first story, Hour of the Wolf is a little long and
drawn out and what is an 11-part story could really have been
condensed down to a four-parter, and even then it would still
be a little on the dull side.
Next
up is The Brainstem Man - A Judge Dredd story
which doesn't feature Anderson at all. This story seems a
strange addition to a Judge Anderson collection and
it's not even as if it is a great story. What the editor of
this collection was thinking of when they decided to include
this story escapes me. Sure it helps to set up Helios
(sort of) but this wasn't a necessary addition to this graphic
novel.
The
third addition is Colin Wilson Block which is a short
story wonderfully illustrated by Ian Gibson. Sadly, however
the script isn't really up to much and as a result it really
should not have been included here.
The
final story, Helios, is a nine part saga which is by
far the best story in the collection. David Roach's artwork
is fantastic and the story, although in nine parts, was over
far too quickly for my liking.
Sadly,
this collection is not worth buying. While Helios is
a fine story it only represents around half of the book. Possibly
the worst 2000AD collection I have read.
