Disillusioned with the Law he has served for so many years,
Judge Dredd has decided to take the long walk - leaving Mega-City
One forever. The residents of Mega-City One are none the wiser,
as in his place the Justice Dept. have decided to let Judge
Kraken, a genetic clone of Dredd, rule under Dredd's guise.
Is Kraken worthy? Dredd didn't think so and rejected the rookie
while still in training. As far as Dredd knows Kraken is now
dead. But, not only is Kraken very much alive, he's also the
target of Phobia and Nausea, the vile sisters of Judge Death...
Now
this is more like it. After the disappointment of last months
releases of Judge
Anderson - Hour of the Wolf,
Necropolis - Book One sees Titan back on track.
This
is a nice, meaty collection which starts well before Necropolis
begins. The majority of this graphic novel sets up Dredd's
growing unease with the Law he has fought so long to protect
and administer.
Wagner's
writing is spot on and Carlos Ezquerra, who illustrates the
majority of the pages in this collection, is on top form.
I
usually enjoy the comical Judge Dredd stories much
more than the straight ones. However, this collection, with
hardly a titter in sight, is one of the best Dredd
story arcs of all time. Anyone with any interest in entertaining
story telling should get their hands on this.
Roll
on Book Two.
