1: wild weird and wonderful
I had pretty much given up on the Dredd novels after reading David Bishop's and Dave Stone's flat, derivative efforts but fortunately I gave the Judge Dredd series one more go and discovered this gem. Marley's "Dreddlocked" (and his "Dread Dominion") is not just good, it's great! Packed with imaginative action and wry dark humor and a heap of clever cultural references, Dreddlocked's ingenious plot pulls you in from the very first paragraph, revealing Mister Cairo's investigation of the mystery that lies in the ruins of Old New York. Among many delights is a resurrected James Cagney (in his cinematic gangster persona) taking on a grim Judge Dredd.
