GRAPHIC NOVEL REVIEW: Judge Dredd : The Pit


BOOK BLURB:

Welcome to Sector House 301, the isolated dumping ground for Mega-City One's every misfit and foul-up Judge. Nicknamed The Pit, the sector house holds many dark secrets, and the discovery of one of them may have lead to the death of Sector Chief Rohan.

Sent to take over The Pit is Judge Dredd. Together with a small team of trusted Judges, he uncovers a trail of deceit and murder that leads to the very top levels of command. The only question is, will Dredd live long enough to bring the culprits to Justice? This collection shows a lot of Judges in a very different way to their usual portrayal.


REVIEW:

As a massive fan of Dredd I always love it when an offering arrives allowing me to relive the nostalgia from previous outings in 2000AD. It’s a fun and to be honest its cracking to have the full story in one place rather than having to flick through multiple releases just to get the full story. Quintessentially British is perhaps the order of the day and as such allows the dark vision of the future to carry on in a parody of the world in which we live.
