![]() This volume is no exception and I delighted in the fact that the 9 episode arc of the Block Mania story was simply a scene setter for the 25 story Apocalypse War. One of the reasons I loved 2000AD the first time around was that the story lines seemed to have some sort of planned arc, whatever the relative merits of that storyline. I appreciate Day of Chaos trying to make a citywide berserk plague something to be taken a little more seriously, but overall it's still just a fairly weak shadow compared to this first going. Perhaps over the decades, even the Justice Department has learned - figured out how to get the lessons across better - but in this version it really emphasizes the harsh nature of the training to be a Judge, and how much is needed of the cadets, and how easily you may be found wanting.Īnd then of course there's the main event, the Block Mania and the ensuing Apocalypse War. In stories such as Hunting Party and Sturm Und Dang, everyone survives and passes. This first Hotdog Run really is pretty brutal compared to the later ones. ![]() These days the Dark Judges have been milked for all their worth and more: Judge Dredd is a flexible comicbook where a lot of things go, but unkillable supervillains ain't one of them. Or the second to last before Necropolis, at most. ![]() Judge Death's second showing is pretty great, but I think it should also have been his last one. ![]()
